Super Spice: Tumeric
"More than just a spice, turmeric is a powerful healer that works as natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and liver detoxifier. The bright yellowish orange spice is a member of the ginger family, commonly seen in curry recipes and has a bitter, earthy flavor."
Skin Cream: Killing You Softly?
"In the book, Slow Death by Rubber Duck Rick Smith turns himself into a human science experiment. He lathers himself with shampoos and shaving creams, all in the sweetly-scented spirit of chemical exposure. To phthalates, that is. A type of chemical commonly found in cosmetics as well as plastic toys and PVC. After three days, the amount of phthalate byproducts in Smith's blood spikes. One of the by-products has notably been linked to male reproductive problems."

But it wasn't always this way."
