An alarming new national study out today finds to***co retailers are literally everywhere in major California cities – especially near schools and in low-income neighborhoods.

This easy access, coupled with kid-friendly flavors, leaves youth vulnerable to ni****ne addiction, and shows yet again why California must pass SB 793 and eliminate flavored to***co products.

There are two things everyone needs to do today:
1) Tell your Assembly member to keep pushing to pass SB 793.
2) Spread the word by sharing this study on social media.

The study exposes many other shocking facts. For example: In the California cities examined, there are an average of 35x more to***co retailers than McDonald's, and 12x as many as Starbucks! And there are far more to***co retailers in low-income neighborhoods.

These retailers are peddling candy-flavored to***co products designed to appeal to youth: e-ci******es in over 15,000 flavors, grape ci**rs, minty menthol ci******es, and more. These flavored products are driving the current youth ni****ne addiction crisis. They shouldn't be for sale anywhere, let alone in the shadow of our children's schools.

It's July, which means blueberries are here! These plump little berries are packed full of antioxidants. As with all berries, buy organic if possible to avoid pesticide exposure. Blueberries pair wonderfully with lemon flavor (juice and zest). I love them in smoothies, salads, and healthy baked goods!

When buying produce items, it's important to utilize the "Dirty Dozen" (Environmental Working Group's list of twelve produce items that have tested positive for most pesticide residues) in order to reduce your exposure to pesticides. These pesticides contaminate our food and deplete its nutritional value.

This list allows you to be knowledgeable on what items you should purchase organic vs what items you can purchase conventional to save some money.

Check out EWG's Dirty Dozen list to help decide when you should splurge for organic produce – part of our annual Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce™

There is an increasing number of accidental poisoning from the misuse of household cleaners and disinfectants. Please use caution and read the labels.

For a safe DIY disinfectant wipe, all you need is 3% hydrogen peroxide, Ziploc plastic bags, and paper towels!

Take a Ziploc plastic bag and place durable paper towels into the bag. In a 1:1 ratio, dilute the hydrogen peroxide with water, mix and pour the necessary amount in the bag to saturate the paper towels. Roughly 2 TBS each of hydrogen peroxide and water should make a dozen disinfectant wipes!

The prevention causes its own ills
