Hoping to help the Christian world take toxicity seriously and to advocate for those with chemical sensitivity. Award-winning author: https://t.co/zTFIzVcDlvchemicalsandchristians.com Nashville, TNJoined June 2019
Study participants with high blood pressure who lived near busy roads were able to lower it by using HEPA air purifiers for a month.

Study authors note that “with [chemical] toxicity we are still in the 1990s in terms of public awareness and action, but we’re in 2025 in terms of consequences.” For example, “the impact of pesticide use on cancer incidence may rival that of smoking”

A new list of the foods with the highest pesticide residues is out: Spinach, strawberries, kale, grapes, peaches, cherries, nectarines, pears, apples, blackberries, blueberries and potatoes. It's wise to eat organic versions of them if you can.

Not only does burning a scented candle increase particulate matter, but it also interacts with and changes the composition of bacteria in the air, increasing some significantly. There are many reasons to avoid burning things, especially indoors.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals may be causing girls to reach puberty earlier, and when they do, they're faced with high levels of toxic chemicals, including pesticides, in their period products. It's a very unfortunate chain of events.

Yet another reason to avoid synthetic fragrances and plastic: Phthalates, common in both, may have contributed to more than 10% of heart disease deaths among study subjects in 2018. They've also been linked to cancer, asthma, and childhood obesity. bit.ly/4lQ7DXW
An interesting study: Evidently, turning water into tea can remove heavy metals, because the ions "stick to the surface of the tea leaves, where they stay trapped." Tea bags can add microplastics to the water, so loose leaf is a healthier choice.

A large study found that more than half of the current U.S. population was exposed to harmful levels of lead in childhood, which may have contributed to anxiety, depression, ADHD, and personality changes.

A good reminder from this article: "Going non-toxic can instantly improve your health, even if it is not immediately noticeable. . . . improving hormone balances and leading to better mood, higher energy levels, and mental clarity."

A friend recently told me something really interesting about a hidden message in one of my favorite Christmas/Advent songs. I've always loved "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," but now I appreciate it even more.

It's a misconception that less toxic products always cost more. In this study, for example, watch bands were tested for PFAS (forever chemicals), and the more expensive brands had higher levels.

I find that many different types of chemical exposures affect my sleep. This study specifically found a relationship between insomnia and PFAS chemicals. Lowering your toxic burden as much as possible may help you get more ZZs.

Air quality has been associated with so much that nothing should surprise me, but its association with childhood peanut allergies did. Outdoor air is hard for parents to fix, but improving indoor air quality is worth the effort for many, many reasons.

"They found that people with a genetic predisposition to autism who were exposed to air pollution in early life were more likely to develop the condition than people exposed to less air pollution."

Happy Thanksgiving month to all my American friends. This is a post I've been thinking about writing for a while, and I finally managed to do it.

I think oftentimes people who are generally healthy/abled believe there’s a cure for most things, when there’s so many things that not only don’t have cures, but don’t even have treatments.
A recent example of the “toxic treadmill” problem, where a chemical gets a bad reputation, so a manufacturer replaces it with something as bad or worse: Roundup replaced glyphosate “with a chemical cocktail that is 45 times more toxic to human health.”

Someone shared a nontoxic way to clean a stovetop: cut a lemon in half, put some baking soda on it, and use it as a scrubber.

Most of the tips in this video (about avoiding microplastics) are ones I’ve heard and shared before, but here’s a new one: Change your toothbrush often because bits of the plastic bristles can break off.
