How to spot a fake
By Caterina Elena

Part 2
OK, so last month we touched the surface
of how to educate yourself on reading
product labels. Now we will begin to break
it down even further.
If a product is considered “natural”,
they’re claiming that it comes from the
Caterina Elena
direction towards bettering your health.
But we must take it even further than a product just being “natural.”
One of the biggest reasons for that is the toxic and carcinogenic
(cancer causing) GLYPHOSATE that’s in all our foods and body care
products, if they’re NOT made from organic or wild harvested fruits
and vegetables.
What exactly is GLYPHOSATE? Glyphosate is the main ingredient
found in the popular weed-killer Roundup. According to Ox-

Anything you put on your skin (which is our largest
organ) will be in your bloodstream in seconds, including glyphosate.
As I was reading an article on livelovefruit.com I was reminded
about even more alarming facts. “Back in 2015, a famous study published
by the International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC)
came to the conclusion that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to

The link between glyphosate and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
is particularly strong. One study, published in 2008 by Swedish researchers,
found that exposure to glyphosate tripled the risk of a
subtype of Non-Hodgkin called small lymphocytic lymphoma (2).

of BAYER (yes the well-known pain reliever company), instead of
Monsanto.
Glyphosate is just one of the many reasons you should take it
even further than just being natural, and choose only ORGANIC in
your products.
Please do your research on why choosing organic isn’t just a fad
and why it’s so imperative for your health and longevity!
Next month we will take a look at the
preservatives used in natural (and yes, even
in organic products) and which ones you
want to avoid due to the toxicity levels.
