• Electro Magnetic Frequency (EMF) radiation (keep cellphones away from your body)
• Artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose (use natural sugar but strive to reduce overall)
• Plastic containers/bottles (leach chemicals into liquids)
• Nonstick cookware (many adverse health effects including cancer; ceramic or stainless steel better)
