• Should a 16yr take anything?

  Always encourage a well-rounded diet and gym regimen first, consisting of hitting all three macronutrient goal (fats, carbohydrates, proteins). Many fad diets will recommend restricting one of these, and while they do produce results for those who practice them, it is safer for him to maintain a calorie goal and not restrict his nutrient targets until he understands how to track his nutrient densities with every...

• Do vegans breastfeed their children?

  Eating plant based is pretty straightforward. The only thing you absolutely make sure you're getting through supplements or fortified food is B12. After that, eating a good variety will get you the rest of the way. I take a multivitamin just to cover my bases and a D supplement in the winter. There are sites like cronometer.com you can use to track nutrients as well. Source: 5 months ago

• Chlorpyrifos: Pesticide tied to brain damage in children

  Not exactly what you describe, but there's Yuka for processed products (food and cosmetics). You scan a barcode and it gives you a score based on the product composition, it's quite helpful: https://yuka.io/en/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Show HN: Nutrient insights through your grocery receipts

  I would have thought the same until I found yuka (https://yuka.io/en/) and saw that they make multi-millions per year. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• I love this deodorant for the safety of its ingredients, but 8g of it is locked in cage at the end after you’re finished pushing it up all the way, and it’s not cheap. I can’t believe I’m only noticing this now. This is like my 5th stick.

  There’s a couple really great apps for scanning your products. The one I use more is Yuka. It’s free, and cites scientific sources and descriptions of ingredients as well as recommends alternatives in a non-biased was (brands can’t pay them to promote their products) and there’re very transparent about where their funding comes from. There’s also the EWG.org website (they also have an app but I don’t like it as... Source: 5 months ago

• Yucca App scans your foods and personal products to protect you

  It's not good to use spray tan or any kind of makeup that has toxic ingredients. When I first started covering Vitligo with spray tan, I was using some of the worst products! I'm lucky I wasn't hurt. I found out about the Environemntal Work Group app and the Think Dirty app, but I was still getting products like body lotion, scented soaps etc that weren't good - even though they were reccomended by EWG and TD! ...

• Is Eco Styler really bad for hair?

  In the short term it’s probably fine. If you want to use “healthier” hair products, I’ve been using the Yuka app to find better products.you basically scan the barcode and it gives you a rating from bad-excellent on a 0-100 scale. It’s nice because it actually tells you what ingredients are bad and why. When I checked my clear eco-styler most of the ingredients are good (risk-free), but 3 were bad enough to get a...
