I've learned some new things about Grapefruit Seed Extract. A few years ago I was just floored to learn that so many of the supposedly organic products I'd been using a long while , bought in health food stores, were, in fact, far from it. After months and months of effort and frustration (and anger) trying to educate myself so I could find some soap, lotion and shampoo, (that I wanted to be easily accessible in local health food stores) that were truly chemical free, I'd finally settled on a company that seemed genuinely pure. But this week, thanks to someone who spoke up about it to me, I've learned otherwise. While I'm still a bit confused, (I'd swear I'd found a line of products that was pure, with GSE that was not made toxically, nor had anything toxic/synthetic in it), I would far rather go the direction of more safety rather than less. Here are some links on the matter...

GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT

A collection of a dozen or so resources and studies, via various sources, from Cindy Jones at Sagescript Institute.

A collection of resources: living wage....Fair Trade.... organic food and agriculture issues.... pesticides and herbicides on our lawns....chemicals in our home products, furnishings and building materials, in cosmetics and body care products.... and how all these things impact the baby in the womb, the toddler on the floor and on the lawn, and we adults as well.
