What allergies or intolerances have you or your children got? They seem to be growing more and more common through each generation.

I think its because our bodies are very good at fighting disease, but since we arent farming and are washing everyday, all that immunity has nothing to fight so goes after other chemicals.
A lot of so called natural ingredientsare sourced from a plant in some weird place, that you would never find naturally. i heard of a food colour for yellow thats said to be natural, but its found in a nut in south america, and the natives thier use it as a paint and poison. Its only for adding colour but its in lots of things. I think the definition of natural is a bit different to what it sounds like.
