I am at the point of wearing gloves when I do my bookkeeping, because all that I can think about are the chemical estrogens on the computerized sales receipts, which I handle all day long each day. I am always wary about the impact that they have on my body.

And wondering how I can somehow get old-fashioned cash register style sales receipts instead of the computerized ones.

Impossible to do.

But changing your brand of toilet paper is not impossible at all.

In fact, it is very doable.

At least when you are at home!

When out, hmm. Not quite as easy.

Well, just try to avoid using bathrooms when out! Or only use the bathroom in health food stores and natural food restaurants!

 And always stay at "green" hotels.

Or you can always carry your own toilet paper with you!

Okay, we are exaggerating a bit!

But we really should try to minimize our exposure to toxins in as many ways as we can.

Using non-toxic toilet paper, at least within the confines of our own homes, seems reasonable enough.

Carrying a roll around with you? May be a little over the top. Even for Wholly Macro.

But the point is, bad things, even if done only occasionally, are still bad for us. Therefore, bad things that we do repetitively, over and over again, several times a day, each day, are the type of things that create tremendous negative impact on us.

In the same way, and as a positive alternative, good things, done repetitively, several times a day each day (eating healthy food comes to mind!), create tremendous good within our bodies.

Have you ever given any thought as to how many times a day you "wipe yourself"??

You don't have to tell us. You can keep this "way too much info" to yourself.

But the fact is: Toilet paper comes into contact with your body several times a day, each day.

Millions of times over the course of a lifetime in fact.

So the earlier in life that you change to non - toxic toilet paper, the better.

Because:

A study published in the United Kingdom found very high concentrations of toxic chemicals in toilet paper.

Yes! Chemicals such as BPA, PCB's, and phthalates, which have been linked to conditions such as endocrine disorders and cancer, are in almost all brands of commercial toilet paper, unless labeled otherwise.

And more so in the colorful or scented varieties.

And these chemicals can be absorbed through your delicate and vulnerable skin and mucus membranes "down there".   

So please, look for and purchase clean, green, non-toxic toilet paper from now on!

It is out there thankfully, so it is an easy fix.

And here is yet another good reason to make the switch:

Chemical estrogens pass into wastewater as well.

So every time you flush the toilet with toxic toilet paper, you are contaminating the water supply, soil, and environment, wreaking havoc on the ecosystem, and the delicate lives of our plant, animal, and insect friends.

So see, Wholly Macro does have a good sense of humor, even when it comes to a subject as personal and serious as your brand of toilet paper!

And by the way, this article in no way relates to the clean, green, natural, and organic menu that we have in store for you this week, which you will find just below!

May health, happiness, and prosperity be your unavoidable natural state and your ongoing daily experience.
