Engineered stone is a form of composite material consisting of crushed quartz that is used for the purpose of countertop creation.  The crushed stones are held together by polymer resin and is largely made up of a chemical compound called silica.  Engineered stone emulates the look and feel of natural stone and it is usually selected because it is more affordable and requires less maintenance than natural stone.  The beauty of engineered stone comes at a price—that is—for the contractor responsible for its installation. More Environmentally Friendly or A Hazard to Human Health? Some individuals also opt for engineered stone because they believe it to be more environmentally friendly than natural stone but this couldn’t be further from the truth.  Workers who manufacture and install the artificial stone are developing serious and incurable lung disease.  The installation of engineered stone requires cutting, grounding, shaping and polishing.  During this pro...

The Florida Surgeon General has spoken out recently about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.  Gen. Dr. Joseph Ladapo has expressed sincere disapproval of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines and believes administration of the vaccines must be stopped.  Gen. Dr. Ladapo voiced his concerns about the discovery of billions of DNA fragments found in each dosage of the vaccine.  DNA fragments are ingredients in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that are transcribed into RNA fragments which is ultimately responsible for inducing production of the SARS-Cov-2 spike protein.   Each vaccine shot contains approximately 200 billion pieces of plasmid DNA fragments (Buckhaults, 2023).   There are serious concerns that the DNA fragments are behind deadly side effects.  These side effects range from cardiac arrest to cancer as well as death.   Dr. Philip Buckhaults, professor of cancer molecular genetics at the University of South Carolina believes that these DNA fragment...

The world of beauty can be a very toxic place. Green News Guide has always been invested in warning the masses about the dangers inherent in every day beauty products. Hair coloring is an activity and skill that stylists engage in on a regular basis. From at home drugstore coloring kits to dyes to bleaching, human beings never realized that there is a price to pay when seeking to color their hair. Not the first Study to Find Link between Cancer and Hair Dye Researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Environment and Cancer Epidemiology Group conducted a ground breaking study that had close to 50,000 participants. The study made it’s rounds over the past week when outlets reported on the study’s findings. However, Researchers, (White et al., 2019) weren’t the first to report about the link between cancer and hair dye. Researchers as far back as the early 2000s have confirmed links between bladder cancer and hair dye. According to a study completed in 2001 by...

A study recently completed by EWG (Environmental Working Group) found alarming levels of glyphosate on breakfast cereals and other foods from companies such as General Mills and Gerber. Glyphosate is a weedkiller that is produced by Bayer-Monsanto. Many of the cereals found to have troubling levels of weedkiller on them are made by food manufacturer, General Mills. Popular cereals such as Cheerios and Honey nut Cheerios had the highest amounts of glyphosate. Over twenty oat based cereals and snack products were tested and almost all contained levels higher than EWG’s health and safety benchmark. EWG’s safety benchmark is 160 ppb (parts per billion). Anything above this number is considered to be toxic and dangerous if consumed. Honey Nut Cheerios had an astounding number of 833 ppb of glyphosate, while Nature’s Valley Granola bars contained 566 ppb level. The World Health Organization has classified glyphosate as carcinogenic to human beings. California’s Office of Environmental He...

Breast implants are made with a cocktail of dangerous, toxic chemicals. Plastic surgeons gloss over the risks and adverse outcomes associated with breast implants. Some women opt for saline implants thinking that they are safer than silicone implants. The truth is that both saline and silicone implants contain silicone and a slew of other toxic ingredients. Even though the saline implant is filled with sterile saltwater solution, the outer shell of saline implants contain silicone. The silicone will leak overtime with or without rupture. These are the ingredients that are typically in breast implant devices: Methyl ethyl ketone (neurotoxin), cyclohexanone (neurotoxin), isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol, acetone (neurotoxin), urethane, polyvinyl chloride (neurotoxin), amine, toluene (carcinogen, neurotoxin), dichloromethane (carcinogen), chloromethane, ethyl acetate (neurotoxin), silicone, sodium fluoride, lead based solder, formaldehyde, talcum powder, oakite (cleaning solvent), M...
