The link below will take you to a portion of the website www.bodyburden.org, which posts the results of an ongoing project put on by the Environmental Working Group.  The project is called “The Human Toxome Project” and is working to “map the pollution in people.”  The particular page I wanted you all to see is a sampling of the results gathered by testing levels of 413 different toxins in newborn babies.  They performed the test by looking at blood from the umbilical cord that was taken shortly after birth.  Ten babies were tested from all over the world, and every single one tested positive for at least 213 different toxins.  Here is the link:

Scary stuff, don’t you think?  I’m not sharing this with you to make you want to hide in your closet, I promise.  I’m sharing it because I thought it would be a good reminder during spring cleaning season that our world is not as clean as it used to be, so we need to be careful to avoid toxic input and do all we can to make sure the detoxification systems in our bodies are working right.  Just looking at this website makes me want to schedule my next cleanse!
