Did you know that many who consume diet soft drinks actually end up gaining weight~sometimes quite a lot? Something that has no calories, tastes sweet, and is marketed as letting us eat sweets without guilt seems pretty impressive, but is it really? Although the product Aspartame does not have calories, it actually stimulates your appetite.

Aspartame has now been linked to 92 adverse health problems. After reading Dr. Mercola on the topic and the allegation that aspartame may soon be ‘quietly’ added to our milk supply without labeling, I had to write about this.

So why am I writing about Aspartame again? Isn’t it a bit redundant? It would be if there were not still so many who do not know of its tragic effects, convinced by greedy big business advertising that it is safe!

Beware everyone, but also you pilots and pregnant mothers! You both have others on board.

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ~Soren Kierkegaard

The digital baby monitor is problematic. Is this news to you? If so, read on. (and at the bottom of the post I found a SAFER one!)

As a parent, this information may be very hard for you to hear at first…

As I said on my post 9 Facts About Wireless & Your Child’s Brain, please view this information as a gift. I hope this gives you a starting point to take action in your home.

When you first learn you are pregnant, you make a list of “must haves.” Probably the list includes a digital baby monitor. But, would you be surprised if I said this is one thing you may not want? 

As one article said, “It’s hard to talk about the dangers of wireless technology without sounding like a conspiracy theorist. This is especially true in the United States, where non-industry-funded studies are rare, where legislation protecting the wireless industry from legal challenges has long been in place, and where our lives have been so thoroughly integrated with wireless technology that to suggest it might be a problem—maybe, eventually, a very big public-health problem—is like saying our shoes might be killing us.

Except our shoes don’t send electromagnetic frequencies directly into our brains.” If this was even partially true, I’m sure you would want to know. You need to be able to make your own analysis instead of being told what is ‘good for you’, so do your own research and don’t just believe everything out there written (including me)!

This guest post by Cari Dugan is shared here with her permission. Even though the events surrounding the Duggars has become totally old news, I have a question for you all..

And no, it has nothing to do with if I think Josh is still responsible for his actions as a teen? Or if I think the Duggars handled the situation correctly? Or if Anna should have packed her bags and run for the hills? The Duggars trials were a messy and heartbreaking situation that left me speechless. Sexual abuse is evil, it ruins families and it destroys people.

What I want to know is this…

What is going on in YOUR home? At YOUR church? At YOUR playground? 

Did you know that statistically 1 out of 5 girls, and 1 out of 20 boys are reported to have been sexually abused ? And that roughly 63% of their predators are family members, or close friends?

Shocked? You shouldn’t be. The Duggars scandal should wake us all up.

Each night at dinnertime, a familiar ritual played out in Michael Green’s home: He’d slide a stainless steel sippy cup across the table to his two-year-old daughter, Juliette, and she’d howl for the pink plastic one. Often, Green gave in. But he had a nagging feeling. As an environmental-health advocate, he had fought to rid sippy cups and baby bottles of the common plastic additive bisphenol A (BPA), which mimics the hormone estrogen and has been linked to a long list of very serious health problems. Juliette’s sippy cup was made from a new generation of BPA-free plastics, but Green, who runs the Oakland, California-based Center for Environmental Health, had come across research suggesting some of these contained synthetic estrogens, too. (source)

We’ve known for decades that BPA and has estrogenic activity (EA).

But Now We Have BPA-free Options, Right?
