Do We Read Labels?

We, as thinking people, should be reading product labels. Whether cleaning products or food labels, do we have any clue what we are exposed to on a regular basis.

When you carefully wash Baby's high-chair tray, set her into the chair and buckle the safety belt, then proceed to place her carefully prepared food directly on the tray, is it still safe? Or, is there a residue of the cleaning solution putting those cleaning chemicals on her food?

Have you ever seen the 1981 movie with Lily Tomlin...The Incredible Shrinking Woman? When an ordinary woman is exposed to a broad mix of chemicals in hair products, cleaning solutions (everyday household stuff), she begins to uncontrollably physically shrink.....funny stuff!

Dr Oz reports that BEAVER ANAL GLAND JUICE (or castoreum) is used in Hard Candy and other food products, and is simply listed as "natural flavor". (There’s a joke in there somewhere.)

I was looking at the nutrition label of a bag of shredded cheese at the store this morning. All the cheese ingredients were the same as a brick of the same unshredded product, except for the sawdust (I mean "cellulose" for anti-caking)!
