Thank you so much for posting. We all need to be diligent in reading labels. Just because it is sold at Whole Foods does not necessarily mean it is healthy! Kudos to Whole Foods for taking a step in the right direction.

Congratulations on getting quoted in The New York Times! I think that is one of my new life goals.

I hate that we still have to be amateur chemists to be able to decipher organic and natural claims. I hate that I still have to educate my own husband on what to buy and what to stay far, far away from. I hate that it is so easy for companies and salespeople to convince shoppers that products are safe, organic, and natural when they are anything but.

Whole Foods cracking down is a step in the right direction, we just have to keep the movement going.

I really appreciate you putting out this information so that people can be educated when making choices about “organic” products. Some lines even deceptively use the word “organic” in some part of their productline even though their line is anything but! e.g Organix, Organica….

I try to only use 100% pure products such as shea and cocoa butter, which you can read more about here – http://www.allnaturale.org/2010/07/natural-beauty-must-have-cocoa-butter.html

Keep up the great work!

Thanks!
They just use the term NSF. Originally it was the National Sanitation Foundation. (And no, I didn’t know that – had to look it up here: http://www.nsf.org/consumer/about_NSF/history.asp )

How exciting that you were quoted in The New York Times! Do know what NSF stands for in the certification? I saw it and thought Not Safe For Work.

Hey thanks, Micaela! Actually, the reporter was really nice to talk to…and maybe I should be thanking him. He told me they would (GASP) print my age!! But they didn’t do that…now that would have been a disaster! I was all set to claim a typo…
