Chemical free hair products
Most of these chemicals are carcinogenic and serve no positive purpose in your hair regimen. If you find them in your hair products (most commercial lines) then you may want to consider chucking them into the garbage can and getting your hands on something a little more natural/organic (doesn’t necessarily have to be more expensive keep that in mind!)
We’ve been hearing about avoiding parabens since the dawn of the natural hair boom a few years ago. But why? They are used frequently in just about every beauty product in the market because they help increase the shelf life of your products. But the reality is parabens have chemicals that may lead to cancer. There hasn’t been enough proof to state this for sure but it is something to keep in mind when using products that contain this ingredient in all its forms.You also want sulfate free as this product is a detergent used in most shampoos and for its foaming properties. SLS strips your hair of natural oils and leave it dry and brittle. Because they are a cheap ingredient they are used in most personal care produces and is used in testing labs as the standard to irritate skin. https://acti-labs.com/me/mimi-m-hughes/hair/

Cancer and Whey Protein
Cancer and Whey Protein
The incidence of cancer is now 1:2.2 so chances are you know someone dear to you that has it or has had it. This is an important read
SCIENCE MEETS HEALTH: Stay with me on this one!!!
There are sooooo many "shakes" out on the market. The truth is they are NOT all equal. I share information ….. you decide if you want to read it or not. Deal?
I want to cry when I see people putting substandard stuff into their body thinking it is good for them. I have learned to let them go…. but if I can change one life by posting this info…. it is so worth it. xo

This article deals with CANCER. Yes the C word… just way too much of it out there.
I know this is a long post… but out of all those words below the most important thing to highlight is:
Buyer beware. All whey protein products are not created equal.
*****When choosing a whey protein powder – look for a high-quality whey product that comes from grass fed animals. Simply put, the animals ought to eat only pesticide-free grass and/or non-GMO food. Naturally, consumers must also be sure that the whey is not denatured in the production process.*****
Q. Why should cancer patients consider whey protein?
Simply put, whey’s lactoferrin is a cancer killer. Lactoferrin activates the innate immune system cells like the neutrophils, macrophages and T-cells. These are the first line of defense against harmful pathogens – including cancer cells. You see, cancer cells have a highly negative membrane charge which attracts lactoferrin, while healthy normal cells have a neutral charge. Lactoferrin is attracted to the cancer cells, attaches to them and triggers a process that kills the cancer cell; as well as blocking angiogenesis – the growth of blood vessels that feed cancer cells. Just be careful about the quality of your whey protein. For example, I know that Goat Whey Protein Plus comes from grass fed goats and these animals are never fed GMO foods. Another key to lactoferrin’s cancer-fighting properties is its amazing ability to bind with iron. It forms a bond with iron that’s 100 times stronger than transferrin – your body’s major iron transport protein. Keep in mind, as you may know, several studies suggest that excessive amounts of iron, in your diet, increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer. Researchers have shown that many chronic diseases – in particular, cancer – need iron to reproduce and grow.
Q. How does whey protein boost my antioxidant levels? Lactoferrin triggers the production of glutathione, better known as the ‘master’ antioxidant and a powerful substance in the prevention of cancer. Research reveals that this increase in glutathione was responsible for preventing the development of prostate cancer. In addition, a clinical study with cancer patients showed a regression of patient’s tumors when given whey protein at concentration levels of 30 grams per day. Glutathione is classified as a phase II enzyme. These enzymes are compounds, which carry out many life enhancing functions on a cellular level. Paul Talalay, M.D. of John Hopkins says over 20 years of research confirms that raising the levels of phase II enzymes proves to be a highly effective way to protect against carcinogenesis – the development of new cancer. He says whey supplementation should be considered a cost effective way to both prevent and dismantle cancer. Researchers, at Lund University in Sweden, reported that alpha-lactalbumin proteins found is whey solid have the ability to kill all the known types of breast cancer cells – even at low doses. In fact, their peer-reviewed paper – published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry suggested that when consumed by the body, alpha-lactalbumin is configured into a protein that selectively induces apoptosis (programmed cancer cell suicide) in cancerous tumors. Even the Unites States National Center for Biotechnology Information – a part of the National Institutes of Health says, ‘whey protein in diets appears to significantly inhibit the incidence and growth of chemically induced tumors in mice.’
Q. Can whey protein slow down tumor growth?
Researchers have shown that the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine and other compounds, found in whey protein, create a calorie restrictive response. Why is this so valuable for cancer patients? Because an extensive amount of research suggests that restricting calories will improve cancer patient outcomes. More than 100 years ago, lab research first indicated that mice fed a calorie-restricted diet had “significantly slower” tumor growth than those fed their regular diet. Obviously, this research is not suggesting that cancer patients starve themselves – but it’s worth noting that ‘more food’ doesn’t always equal greater nutrient absorption or better results for cancer patients. And, of course, most cancer patients would benefit greatly from eating primarily nutrient-dense superfoods – that tend to be lower in calories and support optimal health. What can cancer patients do about cachexia? Loss of muscle and fat tissue – due to chronic conditions like cancer, AIDS and mercury poisoning – is called cachexia. For cancer patients, this is often why they succumb to the disease. Fortunately, by drinking a whey protein smoothie – every day, cancer patients have an easy way to enhance lean muscle mass and boost their energy.

Watch Out For This Carcinogen In Your Organic Food
Watch Out For This Carcinogen In Your Organic Food
I really wish I wasn’t writing this post right now. The information I am about to share with you will likely make you pretty angry and it should. Do you consume any of these brands in the picture below (Silk, Starbucks, So Delicious, Horizon, Zico, Blue Diamond, Pacific, Carnation and Tempt)? My guess is that you probably do.
A few days ago, the Cornucopia Institute released a Video by it’s co-founder and Senior Farm Analyst, Mark Kastel and a full PDF Report that shares some very startling practices between the USDA and the NOSA “National Organic Standards Board”- the agency that regulates organic food. This report explains the details behind several allegations of corporate corruption that has allowed several agribusinesses to use chemicals in organic products without sufficient regulatory oversight.
A Carcinogen Hiding In Organic Dairy & Dairy Substitutes
One of the findings has to do with a carcinogenic ingredient all these products have in common, a substance derived from red algae called carrageenan. Carrageenan can be found in most milk substitute products, infant formula, deli meats, cottage cheese and some flavored coconut waters regardless if the product is certified organic by the USDA. I know so many people who get soy lattes from Starbucks to avoid having to consume conventional milk products, so I thought it would be pertinent to include them here on the list below, since they and many other coffee shops use soy milk that contains carrageenan.
I’ve had my doubts about carrageenan for a long time – it started in 2011 when my cousin from Ohio sent me aFacebook message asking about whether or not it was ok to feed store bought almond milk that contained this additive to her toddler aged son. Since I didn’t have all the facts, I erred on the side of caution and suggested she make her own almond milk from scratch only.
Now, there are sound reasons and a plethora of studies that the Cornucopia Institute has summarized that has made all my hunches come true. Their report detailed out several specific studies that showed that food safe and approved “undegraded” carrageenan is containaminated with the non-approved degraded carrageenan. Furthermore, when you ingest the undegraded version, it actually starts to degrade in the gastrointestinal tract and in the liver and turn into a carcinogen, resulting in a serious inflammatory agent that also can cause intestinal abnormalities. Because of this reason and other studies conducted the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer and the National Research Council of the United States both have determined that carrageenan is a carcinogen – a substance that causes cancer.
How In The World Can A Carcinogen Be Allowed Into Organic Food?
This is where the Cornucopia Institute does a extraordinary job showing you the timeline of events, lack of regulation, and down right shadiness that all led up to carrageenan’s approval. They show you the series of situations where companies that profit from these ingredients were some of the only reviewers involved in the decision. It’s easy to understand how this can happen, now that organic food companies are being bought by major conventional food companies left and right. Below is a chart taken from the Cornucopia website that shows the relationship big food now has on several smaller organic companies. Please note – This was taken in 2009 and is even worse now, for instance Kraft has since bought Cadbury and so on.
Every time I mention a particular ingredient and it’s harm, I come across opponents to my line of arguments, saying that I am being alarmist or using scare tactics. They love to point out that it’s “food grade” or is safe in “low doses.” Looking at the findings and report on carrageenan, you can see these arguments can be seriously flawed. It reminds me of the times where I discussed the ingredient proplyene glycol in Panera Bread’s salad dressings and TBHQ in Chick-fil-A’s sandwiches. Just like the NOSB has accomplished with the USDA, the FDA also has continuously approved countless chemicals to be added to our food in a low doses. Does anyone really know what the cumulative effect of these additives is over time? Our soil is already depleted of several vitamins and minerals and the nutrition content of our food is declining every single year. How can we afford to put these chemicals in our body? Should we let the FDA tell us what percentage is safe? Or should we use our common sense and decide as a collective group not to consume these additives and chemicals?
I don’t know about you but I feel personally duped by carrageenan. I assumed that once a product was certified organic like Pacific Almond Milk, that it was perfectly safe to drink. I’ve even recommended this product and some others that contained carrageenan here on this site. I’ve since cleaned up my ingredient lists on my recipes and made sure my pantry staples list does not contain any products with this additive in it. We are all learning here together and I hope you forgive me for ever assuming this substance was safe to consume, because it is clearly not.
What You Can Do Instead
Milk substitutes are wildly popular and something many people consume almost everyday, so it’s important that if you were relying on one of these products above to start making your own milk or find another substitute. It’s so easy to make your own. Watch this video to see how I make it. I like to strain my milk through a very fine grain strainer. Check it out, just to see how easy it is! You won’t ever be tempted to buy processed almond milk in a carton again.
Even though Cornucopia estimates they are close to 300 chemical additives approved to be used in organics, there are still thousands approved for conventional products. The facts presented here should not discourage you to eat less organic food, but to encourage you to fight for its regulations and ultimate safeguard. I urge you to watch the Video by Mark Kastel and read the Full Cornucopia Report when you have time and to spread this information to as many people as possible – Please feel free to share this post on Facebook, Twitter and your own blogs.
In The Best of Health Always,
Food Babe
P.S. Check out Cornucopia’s new shopping guide to find out which products do and do not contain carrageenan (Tree of Life, 365 Brand Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s (cold section) are a few).
8/19/2014 Update: In response to this blog post and your activism, Whitewave committed to remove carrageenan in 2015, but has not been completed yet.
2/24/2015 Update: Check out my new book The Food Babe Way for nut milk recipes and strategies you can use to break free from the toxins in your food! My recipe for cashew milk takes 1 min and super easy to make!

Lose Fat and inches instantly with these wraps
WRAP KIT DUO
DescriptionIngredients
Kit contains:
1 x Thermo Slimming Gel
1 x Lipo Sculpting Fluid
2 x Professional Sculpting Wraps
You can start with whichever product you wish, thereafter follow this sequence
Day 1 Wrap with product 1
Day 2 Use product 2 as a lotion on the area wrapped.
Day 3 Use product 2 as a lotion on the area wrapped.
Day 4 Wrap with product 2.
Day 5 Use product 1 as a lotion on the area wrapped.
Day 6 Use product 1 as a lotion on the area wrapped.
Day 7. repeat from day 1 sequence
WRAP treatments stimulate inch loss through lymphatic drainage, while stimulating blood flow within the fatty tissues.
Within our bodies we all have interstitial spaces where toxins and fats gather, an interstitial space is an empty space or gap between cells. Groups of interstitial spaces are commonly referred to as fat cells. Over a period of time these fill with toxins and fats.
People who smoke or drink alcohol, eat fatty foods will, on the whole, have more toxins and notice that certain areas are harder to lose, e.g. thighs or buttocks, and however much they diet, their body refuses to alter its shape or size. The WRAP not only achieves excellent lasting inch loss, but it is also a superb treatment that cleanses, detoxifies and tightens the skin.
The active ingredients of Lipo Sculpting Fluid and Thermo Slimming Gel penetrate the outer membrane of the interstitial space (fat cell) and stimulates circulation around these areas breaking down the toxins and fats which then drain through the lymphatic system, leaving the interstitial space empty or at least smaller. The sculpting wraps compress the layers back together so they do not refill, this is where the inch loss comes from.
INITIALLY YOUR BODY WILL CREATE NEW SPACES OR REFILL EXISTING ONES QUITE QUICKLY BECAUSE IT IS USED TO DOING SO. DEPENDING ON YOUR LIFESTYLE, IT WILL TAKE A LONGER AND LONGER BEFORE THESE SPACES REAPPEAR BETWEEN WRAP TREATMENTS.
Some people will have more success than others because it depends on how deep the ‘space’ is located as to how effective the fluid will be at penetrating to the required level. It also depends if there is some muscle mass to compress against. Like all things. TRUE SUCCESS TAKES PERSEVERENCE.
We want you to succeed. PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO BEFORE YOU START.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZUQXzZ9q3g
FROM THE DAY THAT YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER YOU SHOULD START TO INCREASE YOUR WATER CONSUMPTION BY 500ML TO 1 LITRE PER DAY OVER & ABOVE YOUR NORMAL INTAKE. BY THE TIME THAT YOUR PRODUCT IS DELIVERED YOUR BODY SHOULD HAVE ADAPTED TO PROCESSING EXTRA WATER WITHOUT WATER RETENTION, THIS WILL MAXIMIZE THE RESULTS.
Preparing for your wrap
Measure the area in 3 places . IF YOU ARE WRAPPING YOURSELF PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO NOW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld1Qs_OPcoU - We advise you mark the area with permanent marker pen so you know exactly where you have measured. A before and after photo is also advised.
The wrap is based on a 2 step process - Absorption and compression.
ABSORPTION
This is the process of applying the product to the area to be treated: Apply approximately a tablespoon by dotting over the area to be treated. Massage into the skin in a clockwise direction, this stimulates lymphatic drainage. You must continue until the product is completely absorbed WHICH MAY TAKE UP TO 5 MINUTES, DEPENDING ON SKIN TYPE.
WRAPPING – Compression
Always wrap from the lowest point in an upwards direction. YOU MUST WRAP FIRMLY, BUT NOT SO TIGHT AS TO HINDER CIRCULATION OR BREATHING. Cover the wrapped area with cling film/or a heavy towel. It is important to retain as much warmth as possible during the process. Leave for 30 to 40 minutes.
UNWRAPPING
Unwrap the bandages; there is no need to shower. The solution remains in your system for one or two days after the wrap, which continues the detox and tightening process.
AFTER CARE: We recommend that for 3-4 days after the wrap, you drink at least a litre of water a day so you are flushing out through your lymphatic system.
YOUR WRAP KIT CONTAINS A COURSE OF TREATMENTS. IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY STABILISE YOUR RESULTS YOU SHOULD WRAP EVERY 3 DAYS UNTIL YOUR KIT IS COMPLETELY USED. (12/16 TREATMENTS).
