READ THE LABEL! BOYCOTT PALM OIL!


 Tens of thousands of square miles of jungles and forests are being decimated to "develop" the areas for the production of fruit palm oils....to be used as ingredients in sugary, prepackaged snack foods and fragrant, chemical-filled soaps and shampoos. We ARE what we eat and should exercise some educated sensibilities before participating in the world mass production of products that, however cheap, decimate entire species of animals and other plants....even necessary micro-organisms in our soils......THINK!!! Read the labels on products that we consume! If the label says "vegetable oil" and the product is high in fat, AND the product is produced in China and Southeast Asia, you may be almost certain that it is both unhealthy for you, AND the "vegetable" oil is PALM OIL! If the label sounds like ingredients from a Chemical Lab, well.......it ain't what Grandma used to make! Watch for these "ingredients" and avoid them: Sodium Laureth Sulfate -Sodium Lauryl Sulfate -Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS or NaDS) -Palm Kernel# -Palm Oil Kernel -Palm Fruit Oil -Palmate -Palmitate -Palmolein -Glyceryl Stearate -Stearic Acid -Elaeis Guineensis -Palmitic Acid -Palm Stearine -Palmitoyl oxostearamide -Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3 -Steareth -2 -Steareth -20 -Sodium Kernelate -Sodium Palm Kernelate -Sodium Lauryl Lactylate/Sulphate -Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate -Hyrated Palm Glycerides -Sodium Isostearoyl Lactylaye -Cetyl Palmitate -Octyl Palmitate -Cetyl Alcohol -Palmityl Alchohol
