(NaturalNews) Want to know the latest news on the recent discovery of "natural" and "organic" products being contaminated with the cancer-causing chemical 1,4-dioxane? Two days ago, I conducted an exclusive, live interview with Ronnie Cummins of the Organic Consumers Association. It's a 30-minute interview, and it's available for immediate listening on our podcast page:
http://www.naturalnews.com/Index-Podcasts.htmlIn the interview, Ronnie and I chat about the failures of the USDA and FDA, the dishonesty of some
companies in the "organic" marketplace, and how
consumers can protect themselves from cancer-causing
chemicals by learning how to read labels to avoid cancer-causing chemicals. Want to know the truth about which companies you can trust? Listen to this interview! You'll learn shocking facts about the
industry.
What's really happening is that large holding companies are buying up numerous brands when they become well known, then cheapening the formulations and introducing
toxic chemicals. So brands that once started out as honest, small-company brands have become mega-corporation
toxic chemical brands. And they still have the name "
organic" or "natural" on their
products! In my view, this is criminal. These companies are deceiving the public and harming the
health of individuals who thought they were buying organic. But
the Organic Consumers Association and NaturalNews.com aren't letting these dishonest companies get away with it. We're naming them in articles and interviews, and the OCA is issuing Cease and Desist letters to force these companies to stop selling products containing 1,4-dioxane.
What's at stake here, friends, is the intergrity of the entire organic products industry. We must either defend the integrity of the "organic" label, or it will be lost to greedy corporations who literally want "organic" to mean whatever they say it does. This is why we're speaking out so boldly about this issue: It's about protecting your families, your babies and your own health from the greedy multinational companies that are trying to jump on the "organic" bandwagon even while continuing to put toxic chemicals into their products.
Inform yourself. Protect your family. Learn the truth about which products you can really trust (like Dr. Bronner's) and which products were found to contain this toxic chemical (like the Jason brand of personal care products). Read more at

Ronnie Cummins and the Health Ranger (that's me):
