On my way back to Cebu from Bohol, I was on board a fast craft that showed the movie "Mercury Rising", which is about an autistic child who happened to decipher a top secret government code. Even though I have not watched that movie before, I was not quite interested on it due to their technical auditory issues. Anyway, the moment I saw the autistic child, it reminded of a mom who was so conscious of what her child eats or uses because her boy was autistic. This situation made her actively advocate to go for organic products and food. She would even make food from scratch to make sure that she knows what sort of ingredients her child takes and that there are no harmful chemicals on it. She was actually one of the many inspirations for me for religiously using organic products.
So, I took time to research the relationship of autism to the environment and the products we use. According to Eco Child's Play, a website dedicated to green and healthy parenting said that parents should take a closer look on the medicines that their children take for it might do more harm than good. Moms' exposure to harmful chemicals during pre birth could most likely have a relatively high risk of getting brain development damage on their children particularly autism. A lot more parents are paying attention on their kids food intake due to these studies. So, for parents who are concerned on their kids' health, all it takes is to make the move on using only natural ingredients for our children and for us as well!
Cheers to health! :-)
