Nice, Clean, Healthy, Safe teeth!

When we focus on health, a lot of areas of life can crop up. One that has come up recently is the area of dental health. Why would we be so careful what we eat and drink, and yet at the end of the day put something toxic - with a warning label on it - on our teeth?

There is an alternative. You can make your own toothpaste:

1 TBSP castille soap

5 TBSP coconut oil, 

   essential oil (30-40 drops of mint, or whatever type you prefer)

1 TBSP water
1 TBSP Xylitol - (clinically shown to starve those cavity causing bacteria)

Put them all in a blender, and mix it up! Put it in a pump dispenser and clean away.

Play around with the recipe. Have a favourite? Comment below!

Breast Milk Ice Cream?

Okay. Now this is pushing the envelope a little.

Does make one think a bit though. Most people I have talked to find this disgusting and offensive. Yuck. Breast Milk.

But take a step back, and think for a moment about the origins of the gallons of ice cream lining the freezer at your local supermarket.

It comes from breasts too, but from the breasts of animals. Breasts that spend their lives in a barnyard. Breasts from animals that eat a completely different diet than humans. Animals raised in less than ideal conditions for your health. Milk that was designed for baby cows.

If you think about it in terms of nutrition, breast milk ice cream makes better sense for humans than cow's breast milk ice cream. At least that milk was created for humans to drink (albeit very young humans).

Next we will have breast milk lattes, cheese, yogurt? (blechhhh!)

But perhaps we'll think twice about the cow's breast milk we're consuming too.

"Food" for thought.
