Eating smart regardless of how you classify your style

Sheets on mattress, they are 100% cotton. I'm sure I'm getting it from somewhere though .

100% cotton means the fibers are cotton. It does not mean the fibers are not treated with formaldehyde.

Pretty much any textile that says it is wrinkle-free or wrinkle resistant has formaldehyde.

Or odor resistant, stain resistant, cling free, anti shrink, water resistant, mildew resistant, color fast. I'm probably missing some.

Most laundry detergents and most fabric softeners also have formaldehyde which stays in the linens and clothes. The labels rarely say formaldehyde; they say one of many dozens of alternative chemical names for it.

Another great topic; endocrine blockers in the form of air perfumes, etc.
My understanding of Febrease was finding a scent that you could still smell after the agent in the spray had disabled your olfactory system.

We have a book called something like, 'natural goat care' and the author goes on a lot about how good vitamin C is.
Not only goats, but for humans and dogs as well.
She says large doses are one of the only things that can actually cure viruses like tetanus, spider bites, snake bites, and many kinds of plant toxins.
It seems to me this is something that needs looking into more then it is.

Here's some more information on Vitamin C

In the 60s and early 70s my parents raised St Bernards. Never had hip dysplasia in ones that followed our recommendations for feeding an additive milk replacer for caves, "calfnip" it had vit ç along with other v and minerals.
There was an article in a sportsman magazine, might have been outdoor life, about a dog with hip dysplasia necropsy compared to scurvy. The author was trying to get dog food company to research the possibility of HP being a form of scurvy.

Yes I don't understand why people would put chemicals in the house air.

I would guess that it's mostly that. Some, like me, though use calculated risk. I use a citrus based spray for air but standard carpet powder. I figure an aerosol poses more risk than dry powder.

My wife gets a orange oil spray that she uses in the bathroom on rare occasions.
What's a carpet powder?
