Chemistry week 8

 I use natural products in my house.  The more benign the better.  I think there are many natural cleaners that do as good of a job as synthetic ones without doing damage. 
Seventh generation organic cleaner, bioclean all purpose cleaner, bon ami, vinegar, hydogen peroxide (turns into oxygen when exposed to oxygen), method bathroom cleaner, Dr.bronners.  Not too bad for the most part.  Most of the products were entirely plant based.  Method bathroom cleaner being the worst. 

‘Mediterranean diet 'better than low-fat diet' for cardiovascular risk’
I do agree that the low fat craze was not the best to prevent coronary heart disease.  It took out good fats as well as bad and left the body with little substance for creating healthy cholesterol and providing the nervous system with essential nutrients.  A Mediterranean diet is a more balanced approach.  Really it is just a diet of eating more fresh whole foods with little processing.  That way the body can process the nutrients easily, get what it needs, and have very little 'extra' to process.
