Pangea Organics wins Best Skin Care Company Award at Natural Products Expo West 2007 Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Here, the Health Ranger offers a brief review of the company and product line: Pangea is flat-out one of the most eco-conscious personal care product companies I've ever had the pleasure of learning about. Headed by Joshua Onysko, Pangea goes way beyond the norm in creating eco-conscious, fair trade, health-friendly soaps and personal care products ranging from soap and shower products to skin cleansers, toners and creams. They never contain artificial fragrance chemicals, and 100% of what goes into these products is plant-based, cruelty-free, and honest.

FDA warns over dangerous products from China while ignoring dangerous products from the U.S. Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The difference between Chinese and American product manufacturers I'm not saying that Chinese food and personal care products don't contain toxic chemicals, by the way. A Chinese businessman will cheat you just as quickly as a U.S. businessman, and if there's a dollar to be saved by replacing a real ingredient with some toxic substitute chemical, you can count on receiving the toxic chemical. The only difference between Chinese products and American products is that the Chinese products will kill you faster.

84% of sunscreen products are harmful to health, says alarming EWG study Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Any idea why the Food and Drug Administration has taken so long to set safety standards for a product used by over 100 million Americans? If you guessed, "Because the greedy corporations selling the toxic sunscreen products don't want the FDA to study the safety of their products," give yourself golden star sticker. You got it! The FDA has no interest in protecting the public from cancer-causing personal care products, and that simple fact is made abundantly clear by the FDA's 29-year delay to establish basic safety guidelines.

Certain pomegranate juice products deceive consumers with dishonest labels and ingredients, reveals new consumer guide Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

To create the free consumer guide, Adams reviewed pomegranate juice product ingredients, comparing them to the claims implied by the pictures and words on the front labels of such products. Some products made primarily with apple juice show no apples at all on the front label, instead depicting pomegranates and blueberries while claiming "100% Juice!" in big letters. "This misleads consumers into thinking these products are one hundred percent pomegranate juice," explained Adams, "When in fact, they may only be five or ten percent pomegranate juice.

Amy's Kitchen responds to concerns about yeast extract with possible product reformulations Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The lack of such a descriptive claim on any current Amy's Kitchen product in no way means the product contains hidden ingredients, Mr. Twieg explained. It only means the product labels have not been updated for those food items. NewsTarget hopes to be able to report, sometime in 2007, that Amy's Kitchen will be entirely free of yeast extract.

Twieg also explained that Amy's Kitchen only uses yeast extract in four of its products, and there is no hidden MSG across the product line. All ingredients are listed plainly on the labels, NewsTarget was informed, and the "spices" ingredient contains only wholesome spices like sage, rosemary and thyme, not any hidden sources of MSG. Several products do use tamari, another ingredient that contains a small amount of free glutamate, but tamari is usually not problematic for consumers in the same way that yeast extract can be, possibly due to the process used to create tamari.

New antiviral bird flu product hits the market, receives Health Ranger's independent recommendation Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Just for the record, I earn nothing from this product, nor any product I recommend. I make no kickbacks or commissions, and I do not own stock in this company or any company I recommend. I'm announcing this for YOUR sake, not mine (I've already stocked up on antivirals), because my goal is to help save lives if this bird flu goes global. And I want to give you the exact products I trust so that you don't end up wasting your money (or compromising your safety) on some junk products.

CEO of Seventh Generation explains the benefits of natural cleaning products to health and home Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Mike: Online, Gaiam carries the product line. Hollender: Yes. Mike: Where else can people find your products? Hollender: Well, in addition to natural food stores and Gaiam, they can actually find them on websites like Amazon and Drugstore.com , as well as a number of traditional grocery stores. Many of the Kroger stores and Safeway stores will have a more limited selection of our products. You're going to get the biggest selection in a store like Whole Foods or Wild Oats, but I think 70 percent of all the Safeway stores in the United States have some Seventh Generation products available.

The greenwashing of toxic consumer products Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Many products that carry "green" claims may in fact be slightly less damaging to the environment in one particular and narrowly-defined way, but if you look at the overall product and consider where it came from, how it was manufactured and what impact it will have downstream, you'll realize it's actually quite harmful to the environment. No regulation of "green" claims Today, there is absolutely no regulation of claims of "green" or "Earth friendly" products in the U.S. marketplace.

Mike: I find it is also interesting that in your products you are using Chinese herbs medicinally with the skin as the assimilation organ but, of course, I know you cannot make medical claims for your product but I think this takes your product to a whole different level where most companies are only focused on what looks cosmetically better, not actually harmonizing with botanical support. Can you talk more about that aspect without getting yourself into regulatory trouble? Minka: Yes we can. Ashley: Obviously the skin reflects how the organs are doing.

The sunscreen myth: How sunscreen products actually promote cancer Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Hence the support of sunscreen (the anti-vitamin D product). Sunscreen directly promotes vitamin D deficiency. You show me a person who regularly uses sunscreen, and I'll show you a person who's on the road towards cancer and other degenerative diseases. People who use sunscreen are killing themselves and they don't even know it! The sunscreen marketing con The marketing of sunscreen is another great example of consumer product companies fabricating a need in order to sell a high-profit product made mostly with toxic chemicals.

The greenwashing of toxic consumer products Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Everything from toxic cosmetics to smog-producing cars are now being positioned as "green" products, and just recently I actually saw a package of mercury-containing compact fluorescent lights with a marketing logo that claimed the product was, "Helping protect the planet!" I have yet to understand the logic of how buying and throwing away mercury-contaminated products has any real benefit to the planet. Defenders of CFLs claim these lights are good for the environment because even though they contain toxic mercury, they use less energy than incandescent lights.

The SPF rating on the product is helpful, but it is only part of what a consumer needs to know," said Houlihan. "Our rating system includes critical information on UVA protection, how stable the product is in the sun, and potential health hazards of the product's ingredients." "EWG has conducted this research because the FDA has failed to do so. With over one million cases of skin cancer reported each year people should have the most reliable information available about which sunscreens will provide the best protection for themselves and their families," Houlihan added.

Born Free baby bottles win "Best New Infant Health Product" award at Natural Products Expo West 2007 Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Best New Infant Health Product" award from Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, following the Natural Products Expo West 2007 trade show in Anaheim, California. In this review, the Health Ranger offers a brief review of the Born Free company and its unique BPA-free baby bottle products. Awareness about the health dangers of bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical in many plastics, has been growing among consumers. BPA is a known estrogen mimicker, and can cause hormone-disrupting effects, toxicity, neurotoxicity, low sperm counts and even cancer.

FDA seizes $71k in herbal tea products as campaign of censorship against nutritional supplements continues Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Charantea was targeted precisely because their product actually works. While the FDA will openly tolerate useless synthetic vitamins (which are mostly made by pharmaceutical companies anyway), the rogue agency will not tolerate herbal products that actually work to cure cancer, halt diabetes, reverse heart disease or otherwise strip revenues from Big Pharma by eliminating disease. Personally, I hope you support this company just to spite the FDA. You can learn more about their bitter melon product at www.charanteausa.com Bitter melon really works to help regulate blood sugar.

Jay Robb egg protein wins "Best New Protein Supplement" award at Natural Products Expo West 2007 Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The egg protein product, for example, is free of all the following: Dairy Casein Lactose Fructose Aspartame Acesulfame-K Sucralose Refined Sugar Corn Syrup Artificial Flavors Artificial Sweeteners Artificial Colors Fat Cholesterol Gluten Wheat Chemicals Meet the man behind the company: Jay Robb Beyond the quality and taste of any company's products, it's always important to know the character of the people running the company. I've seen lots of companies with great-sounding products that were, unfortunately, run by people who didn't seem genuine.

In this review, the Health Ranger offers a brief review of the Jay Robb company, its founder and product line: Finding a good protein supplement is more difficult than you might think. First there's the choice of sweetener. Most of the popular protein products on the market are sweetened with refined sugars (obesity, anyone?), chemical sweeteners (toxicity) or sugar alcohols (diarrhea). But Jay Robb's protein products have no such sweeteners. They use the natural herb stevia. And somehow they manage to make even egg protein (which is usually rather boring) taste good.

Do you think that the future is represented by your kind of product that is chemical-free? Do you think it will just be a niche kind of market here for you? Minka: No, I think the industry is moving in this way. You will see in the future definitely, for example, vanities that are refrigerated because with natural products you are not using chemical preservatives and parabens and such things. They will have a shelf life just as an apple has a shelf life. It has a certain amount of energy and then it begins to decay. When you keep your products refrigerated it helps them last a lot longer.

The greenwashing of toxic consumer products Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Be skeptical of manufacturers' claims It's more important now than ever to be skeptical of "green" claims by product manufacturers. Everybody's on the green bandwagon, it seems, and even products that are extremely hazardous to the environment often carry some type of green claim. Consumers need to be sharp and do their research on these corporations before blindly buying into their claims of being Earth friendly.
