“Everyday Symptoms Relief Says……..What happened to washing vegetables with water and a brush? It is amazing how marketers have convinced us that washing vegetables in water is not enough anymore! It worked for years, so why not now? So many people are highly sensitive to vegetable wash products, and gas – diarrhea is a common result. A headache, runny nose, and a sneezing fit are possibilities too. If you have ever had trouble at the salad bar at the health food store or a restaurant, it is often due to a vegetable wash product they are using or something called “Whiten-All,” which is a white powder preservative in additional acid surfactants.

Staying away from these products is almost impossible if you are eating out. Awareness is the key! Or, you can fix it!
