Starting with AWARENESS; Hippocrates Said It Best

“Everything in excess is opposed to nature.”- Hippocrates

It all sounds like eccentric propaganda at first, “Your mainstream food brand is poison!” But the bottom line will always emerge, our bodies were not meant to digest synthetically created foods and our exposure to harmful chemicals is increasing every day.

“There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the later ignorance.”- Hippocrates

With tons of articles containing information, studies and opinions on benefits and/or hazards of just about every food item you can think of it can be confusing and difficult to sort out what is truly relevant to your lifestyle. While some processed foods like vinegar, oil, etc. are booming with health benefits and uses it’s hard to stomach what negative affects other additives like the chemical sweetener found in diet soda, Aspartame, can have. Scientific intervention of our food has not always been negative but since a lot of science is fueled by big corporations with profits at heart the consumer is the one who ends up suffering. The cycle of man made food, profit and consumption we have today has led us to higher heart, allergy, birth defect, mental disorders and health challenges. A lot of ailments aren't even associated with diet but most skin/acne problems, digestive issues, mental stress and most other ailments are suffered with band-aid solutions and are never resolved from the source because what you put into your body affects your mood, energy levels and pores, yet advising you of this keeps products from profiting! Erthi.com's Pre-launch blog is striving to bring you relevant information regarding risks and health best practices.
