There is no such certainty about the safety natural ingredients have in food and cosmetics. According to some experts, organic does not necessarily means good. It is widely known that preservatives, pesticides and syntactic materials are some of the most well-known derivatives that form part of the diversity of products any person can buy in a store. These multi-syllabic industrial ingredients can cause diseases raging from skin allergies to severe ones like Alzheimer.
Some naturists pass judgements on preservatives because they consider that buying natural products means health benefit. While in fact, it has never been proved. Moreover, consumers should bear in mind that cosmetics, or food without preservatives may easily decay in a shorter period. Government and some agencies suggest that consumers should read the ingredient levels so as to know what they are consuming.
I must confess I belong to the massive belief nowadays that biological products mean a healthy life style. After reading the article, I realize how ignorant I am. I am convinced by the advertisements! It is good enough that articles like this one may open the consumers’ eyes and ask the government and accredited certifiers to test products and prove the efficacy or health benefits of our investments.
