IS “NATURAL” REALLY BETTER? Part 9

OK, the final part in this series, hope you found it informative!!!

There are some people who believe that there really are “safe” synthetic chemicals. If we look at chemical use historically, we see a pattern of fantastic chemical breakthroughs that are sold to us as the “new” answer to our problems, which are then subsequently banned (or withdrawn) after the damage has been done.

Remember the “miracle” of DDT for getting rid of pests on crops? I believe that the search for newer, better and safer chemicals is foolish. Mother Nature always has, and always will, provide us with everything we need.

We should avoid all synthetic chemicals. By seeking out truly natural and organic products we are making a positive difference to our own health as well as supporting ecologically sound business ideals.
