Pictured above are good soaps and bad soaps. “Good” ones are easy to identify based on shape - they’ve formed into the classic rectangular cube.
Oddly-shaped soaps don’t pass Quality Control (QC). It’s easy to spot the bad soap in the picture above. It’s the white, rounded bar on the right. While the good ones have the sharp edges.
These were made by my daughter, Lily. I taught her how to make handmade soaps years ago. Since then, her passion for soap making has grown into a chemical-free, luxury soap club (www.handmadesoapclub.com).
She calls me “The quality-control freak.” I don’t let rounded soap edges go out the door.
For her, it’s frustrating after the time and effort she labors. But she’s learning a valuable lesson: Quality Control is everything in the health and beauty business.
The nutritional supplement - vitamin - industry has yet to learn this. And since you can't see poor quality like you can see rounded edges, MOST products are worthless at best, maybe even toxic.
Without true QC, customers end up with the opposite of what they’re paying for: Contaminated Supplements that do more harm than good.
How Pure is Your Curcumin?
Also pictured above are two orange pills of curcumin. Both look identical. Yet one was made via a water extraction. For most natural products, this is a prehistoric method of isolation that pulls out the useless – inactive – compounds, while leaving behind the beneficial nutrients!
The end product of a "water extraction" is a “bad” curcumin/turmeric supplement. It doesn’t yield the health benefits touted on the label and it’s a waste of money...it's just a vapid, bright orange powder.
As a chemist, this is obviously infuriating to me. I see it all the time at the store, and have watched clueless people toss worthless bottles of turmeric (or curcumin) into their shopping carts.
The other identical looking curcumin supplement is loaded with curcuminoids thanks to proper preparation and isolation methods that pull out both water and fat soluble compounds from turmeric!
That one came from Daily Dose. I used my chemistry background to produce it. Not only is it jam-packed with curcumin but also memory boosting boswellic acids! Together, they're a powerful, antioxidant duo...and more.
Early in the 1990s, the University of Texas’s M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston, found the anti-cancer effects of turmeric to be “staggering.” After sprinkling a pinch of the spice on cancer cells in the lab, they found that it blocked a crucial pathway required for the development of skin cancer and other types, including prostate tumors.
Epidemiology has further increased the excitement around turmeric with population studies showing that India, the country whose residents consume most of the world’s turmeric, has the world’s lowest prostate cancer rate — twenty-five times less than that of men within the United States!
Dr. Ajay Goel, Ph.D., a cancer researcher, and director of Baylor University’s Center for Gastrointestinal Research, recently sat down with me to share his interest and findings about curcumin over the phone...
He told me that his lab has found that, "Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory. we are finding that this enables it to be a great cancer fighter. In fact, we should start thinking of cancer as “inflammation that can be treated,” not cancer that is automatically deadly. Boswellic acid from frankincense is another botanical that activates another anti-inflammatory mechanism that complements turmeric and boosts its health properties, especially for prevention of Alzheimer’s disease."
So if you're taking curcumin for longevity, you better be taking the right one!
Today, Americans spend $6 billion “guessing” what the right product might be for their family. Yet, their health continues to decline.
That’s because they’re choosing contaminated supplements – synthetic, toxic or just dirty products that don’t carry the active ingredients listed on the label. Ultimately, it’s because they rarely question QC, just like the very same people who make them.
QC isn’t even on the radar.
People today choose pills based on cheap marketing slogans like “natural,” “organic,” “vegan,” and “gluten-free.”
It’s stupid because any of these can still carry inactive or harmful ingredients. As highlighted by a congressional report, “most natural medicines are adulterated with toxic fillers and even carry hazardous adulterants like prescription drugs, heavy metals, bacteria, and even viral infections. Researchers found that “nearly all of the herbal dietary supplements tested contained trace amounts of lead and other contaminants.”
