Non-toxic living is a certain mental disposition with regard to poisonous substances. Toxic substances are known as toxins and toxicants. In order to diminish harmful effect of toxins and toxicants, it is imperative that we identify what they are first.

By definition, a toxin is a poisonous substance produced by living cell or organisms...toxins can be small molecules, peptides, or proteins that are capable of causing disease...Science often doesn't give us a straight answer what is healthy and what is not. According to Stedman's Medical Dictionary 24th Ed., "Toxins are relatively complex antigenic molecules, and the chemical compositions are usually not precisely known".

For a toxic substance not produced by living organisms, the more appropriate term is toxicant. A toxicant is a chemical compound that has a harmful effect on organisms. Toxicants are typically introduced into the environment by human activity.

Both toxins and toxicants can produce an adverse response in a biological system, seriously injuring structure or function, or resulting in death. Very important survival aspect of humanity is decreasing the potential of causing acute or chronic adverse effects in animals, plants, or people. We have to develop our non-toxic living attitude which expands our consciousness wider. Non-toxic living attitude is based on natural tendency of human mind to choose vitality instead of decay. We can increase its potential and regulate our daily activities by conscious preference, not only by survival instincts.

The fashion trends of green living and organic products are not always relevant to non-toxic living attitude. Some news and discoveries sound not attractive at all. Organic apples contain acids which dissolve teeth enamel twice faster, organic vegetables loose all essential vitamins during cooking process, row eating cause stomach disease, wearing wool clothing often provokes allergic reaction and skin irritation, disgusting sprays produce better cosmetic effects, organic compost contains heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,pharmaceuticals,steroids,flame-retardants,bacteria,fungi,parasites and viruses.

We can't completely remove toxins and toxicants from our lives as a source of a problem, but we can eliminate and eventually eradicate the problem itself by questioning our beliefs and values and make right choices for ourselves and our families and pets.
