WEEKLY ARTICLE
Are You Being Plasticized?
We here at Wholly Macro are always trying to do our very best, not only to cover all of our own health bases, but to pass as much info as we can on to all of you as well.
And we are always on the lookout for new material.
So when the topic of this weeks Newsletter crossed our radar, we have to say that we were just completely blown away.
Have you ever heard of micro beads??
I am almost ashamed to admit that I had not!
Micro beads are non-biodegradable plastic particles that are used as fillers and / or exfoliants in body care products such as facial cleansers, body scrubs, soaps, and toothpastes.
They are also used to coat certain fresh (non-organic) produce items. You know, that waxy coating.
So yes, you are reading this correctly: There is plastic in many common body care products. Little tiny plastic beads (micro beads) that are invisible to the naked eye.
And you are rubbing them, scrubbing them, brushing them, and invariably ingesting them, either via your skin or by mouth.
These micro beads, like all plastics, both absorb toxic chemicals, and / or exude toxic chemicals of their own as part of their intrinsic chemical make-up.
It is who and what they are.
And most chemically laden plastics are known endocrine disrupters. Meaning that they mess with our hormones.
We do not want to mess with our hormones.
Proper hormonal balance is not only essential for good health, but for the prevention of the many hormonally fueled types of cancers as well.
Micro beads are made from polyethylene and polypropylene plastic.
There is not much research on the negative effects of this plastic on human health. Yet!
But the research does show that these plastic beads are too small to be filtered out of our waste water systems, so are therefore ending up in our waterways in alarmingly large concentrations.
And once in our waterways, they are being consumed by many varieties of innocent and unsuspecting fish and wild life. This is beginning to raise serious concerns about their impact on us as they become more and more concentrated as they travel up the food chain.
|
|
Humans are at the top of the food chain.
We will end up ingesting these microscopic plastic beads in great concentration eventually, if not already.
No doubt it will take a while until their impact impacts us enough for action and awareness to be taken by the authorities on anything more than their impact on our waterways.
But why wait.
Wholly Macro advises that you stop using products containing micro beads right now.
Don't buy any body care products, or cleansers of any kind, that list the ingredients polyethylene or polypropylene on their ingredient label.
Some of the guiltiest culprits are such giants as Unilever, Proctor & Gamble, Crest, Colgate, Johnson & Johnson, L'Oreal, and The Body Shop.
If you google micro beads, you will find magnified images of tiny blue micro bead particles embedded in human gums. It is safe to assume that this comes from brushing with micro beaded toothpaste.
It is horrifying really.
The FDA does not regulate non-food over the counter products, so even though they are responsible for placing stringent regulations on the safety of our food and drug supply, and also responsible for recalling the same items when unsafe ingredients are deemed to be present after all, often times too little too late, they don't regulate micro beads.
|
|
But in all fairness, action is being taken.
Some states, such as Illinois, think Great Lakes, have banned the manufacture and sale of personal care products containing micro beads in order to ensure clean waters, especially in the Great Lakes, where millions of micro beads per square kilometer have been found.
And some of the companies mentioned above have announced that they are planning to gradually phase out the scrubbing plastic beads from their products, and are now testing more natural alternatives such as ground nuts, seeds, and grains.
Ah. Yes. How lovely to think of scrubbing with a nice sea salt or ground almond paste, or maybe a naturally exfoliant mineral rich clay, instead of tiny bits of plastic.
We hope that you are already using the many beautiful and natural body care products and household cleansers that are available to you, but if you aren't already, maybe you will now.
It is either that, or be plasticized!
Speaking of, please be sure to check out our November 19 Wholly Macro Delivery Menu below.
It is colorful, seasonal, and super healthy and delicious, without so much as a trace of micro beaded presence.

Garnished with liver relaxing upwardly energetic scallions.

**Wholly Macro makes every attempt to maintain a totally vegan and allergen free kitchen cooking environment. We make every effort to avoid any type of cross contamination during food preparation. Most foods used in the Wholly Macro kitchen are not packaged, but instead are bought in the produce section or in bulk. But as you know, cross contamination is always a possibility, especially with bulk items. And in the few packaged foods that we do use, such as nut butters for example, it is common to find warnings on the manufacturer label stating that the item was processed in a plant that handles tree nuts, soy, wheat, dairy, gluten, shellfish, and so on.
Wholly Macro cannot be responsible for trace amounts of common food allergens that come from outside (packaged or bulk items), and therefore end up occurring within our prepared foods. Please use your own discretion in determining if our food is appropriate for your consumption, especially if you have severe food allergies.
We are always available to clarify any of the ingredients that we use, and assist you in your weekly selections, but we cannot keep track of your food allergies, sensitivities, likes, dislikes or preferences.
Please call or email prior to ordering if you need further information or clarification.

Here's some feedback from a consultation client..... " three years ago I discovered that I had breast cancer. I had heard of Macrobiotics years ago. I didn't understand the concept but immediately I knew that that would be the route that I would pursue. But where to go and who to see was the question. Thank God for reading the macrobiotic newsletter. For in the newsletter there was an article about Gayle Stolove. I just felt her strength and passion burn through the page that I was reading. I immediately made an appointment to see her and although I was still so frightened, I felt so comfortable talking with Gayle. Gayle guided me through the whole process. I thought that the macrobiotic way of life would be boring and just eating rice. Well, I love the foods that I eat and I just feel good about it all. You see, after the surgery, you are sort of left on your own.You have to make your own decisions, etc. Everyone gives you different advice as what to eat, what to do, etc. Doctors don't understand what the patient is going through nor do they understand what kind of diet they should follow. I adopted Gayle as my guardian angel. You can't find that with any nutritionist or doctor. I love receiving her weekly e-mailed newsletters. They are so full of wonderful knowledge and beautiful healthy recipes. Gayle is a remarkable human being. She truly cares for her clients and gives them her all, one hundred percent of the time. Gayle has been there and therefore she is so compassionate and dedicates her life to helping people like me....." a cancer survivor |
