All Chemicals arenโ€™t bad, all things natural arenโ€™t good

All Chemicals arenโ€™t bad, all things natural arenโ€™t good

  • It's inaccurate to assume that everything chemical is bad, and everything natural is good.

Eg: Poison ivy is natural, but that's not something you want to put on your skin.

  • Ingredients are not intrinsically bad, it's about how they're used and in what quantity.

Eg: Think of a puddle of water โ€” not a big deal, but a tsunami can be catastrophic.

  • A product labelled as 'natural' tells us nothing about ingredient safety or sustainability but it makes patients and consumers feel better.

โ€œNaturalโ€ is a cultural concept

โ€œNaturalโ€ is a cultural concept

  • โ€˜Natural' is more of a cultural concept โ€” it extends the belief in the superiority of the natural world and that human modification and inference inevitably causes harm.
  • 'Natural' products also allow people to connect themselves with a perceived healthy lifestyle, as well as certain favoured values like harmony with the environment, a spiritual connection with nature, and altruism.
  • When you buy a 'natural' product, you're buying everything that 'natural' products represent.

Understand โ€œnaturalโ€

Understand โ€œnaturalโ€

  • Don't automatically assume that because something's โ€˜natural,' it's safe.
  • Understand the product, make sure you've done a little bit of research.
  • Public regulation of โ€˜naturalโ€™ products โ€” including a universally agreed-upon definition for the word โ€” would empower us all to make more informed decisions.
  • When in doubt about if a product is right for you โ€” โ€˜naturalโ€™ or not โ€” you should visit a dermatologist to assess the ingredients. Because it's what's inside that counts.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
