Jalima I am interested in what you said, but what do you do about it? Sometimes I feel that I am too old to put the world to rights.

I started a thread on the micro beads in toiletries - tiny plastic particles in all kinds of shower products, shaving gels, scrubs, creams etc which are polluting our oceans and getting into the food chain but only one (I think) other poster showed an interest.

I think I will bump it.

As for food, particularly for a child wuth autism, I would try to feed him fresh, unprocessed food, organic if possible (I know it is more expensive but a small piece of organic chicken or meat is better than a large processed burger etc).

beauty products. If medical creams that are rubbed onto the skin have an effect on our bodies[eg deep heat], then I have always thought that make-up does too. I dont wear make-up, partly because of it.

I'm getting a little spooked by all the chemicals in food and also beauty products. My dgs has autism and his mum has given me a lot of information to read on toxins etc in everyday use. It's really opened my eyes and I've started to check labels more carefully. I think the food we had in years gone past was less processed (and yes more expensive) but these days it's all about mass production and food is relatively very cheap. It worries me the long term implications this is could have on all our healths.
