Are people being poisoned by the perfect storm of pesticides, petroleum products, Pharmaceutical prescriptions, plastics, and pollution? If you access a news source or read a health blog, newspaper, or watch documentaries you know the inconvenient, sad, and unfortunate answer is YES we are! Not a day goes by that a headline discusses another major health hazard in our air, food, homes, soil, or water. You may want to read or reread this previous blog post Can People Prevent Plastic Poison and Plastic Pollution? for additional insights.
Most people are simply unaware of the number of health hazards linked to our modern way of living. Pesticides, petroleum products, Pharmaceutical prescriptions, plastics, and pollution have become so common and everyday occurrences that most people no longer give them a second thought or consider the long and short term impact to our lives. Unfortunately, most of these problem products are not topics commonly talked about or discussed in colleges, schools, universities, or social circles. We have become so busy and preoccupied with making a living that we avoid tuning in or mentally tune out regarding the negative news about the pesticides, pharmaceutical prescriptions, plastics, poisons, and pollution that surround us.
Many products in our modern world are health hazards in our air, carpets, clothes, food, furniture, garages, homes, offices, stores, water, and yards. Did you know there are over 160,000 chemicals and 350,000 chemical mixtures globally? This should give everyone with a functioning normal brain a significant cause for concern. In many previous blogs, we have discussed the abundance of health hazards in our environments, homes, offices, and vehicles. Now it is time to take an in-depth closer look at the number of products that are being manufactured and used in most aspects of our daily life. These health hazard products are so abundant and common that they have become silent saboteurs harming your health.
The passion and purpose of Morningstar NEWS are to help people with education, information, inspiration, and motivation to learn about the perfect storm of health hazards harm your health and wreck your wealth.
