~And the truth shall make you free~

What is it?

Our quest for the truth began in 2009 as we were having behavioural issues with our daughter in school, seeming to have symptoms of ADD including disruptive behaviour, learning difficulties and diciplinary issues. Not wanting to pump her full of drugs, we sought a more natural way and on recommendation of our doctor we investigated the Feingold diet. It not only was successful in improving our daughters behaviour but it opened our eyes to a world of adulterated foods that we unknowingly injest, thinking all is well, and it started us on our search. There is so much different information out there about nutrition and what is good for you and not. This is our family blog chronicling our search for the truth about nutrition and health. ~To know better is to do better~

Wendy's Windex Experiment!

So I'm going to start this blog out with a question! How any times when we make a choice to eat something or feed something to our kids that we know has dyes, or artificial flavors, or artificial sweeteners, or some funny named preservative we cannot even pronounce do we tell ourselves this excuse? Well it's just a little? It only has a small amount of dyes, or artificials, ect.... how much could it possibly hurt? This is where Wendy's Windex experiment comes into play. Last week I was chatting with my long time close friend Wendy and she told me about having a conversation similar to this with some of her friends. When she suddenly got this idea for a word picture. So now I'm going to relay this word picture to y'all!

Things you will need : Windex, a glass, and water.


Step #1 : Squirt one squirt of Windex in glass.


It should look something like this.


Step #2 : Fill glass to the top with water.


The finished results.


Step #3 drink the glass of water(notice I do not have a picture demonstrating this). Why not it only has a very tiny amount of Windex in it? What could it possibly hurt? : )

Now I know you probably would not do this but really if you only did it one time it most likely would do nothing to you but if you drank a glass of water with a squirt of Windex in it everyday or multiple times a day I'm thinking it would have to have some sort of effect on your health. When you think about it this is pretty much what we're doing when we're eating foods with dyes, artificials, preservatives ect.... I thought this was a great word picture and just felt like sharing it. : )

Remember every time you checkout at your supermarket you vote for the quality of food you desire for you and your family.
