You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

While worldwide infections are linked to 15 to 20% of cancers infections can raise a person's risk of cancer in very different ways. For example, some viruses directly affect the genes inside cells that control their growth. These viruses can insert their own genes into the cell, causing the cell to grow out of control. Some infections cause long term inflammation in a part of the body. Inflammation is to precursor of all diseases, so this can lead to changes in the affected cells and the nearby immune cells that are trying to protect you, which can eventually lead to cancer. Some types of cancer can suppress a person's immune system, which normally helps protect the body from some cancers. So infections are grown in an environment. They create an environment of acidity. They create an environment, they're sending abnormal information out to the body. They're also creating this chronic inflammation. And there's basically four major groups of infections. We have viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. And most of us have some of them. But it's also the existence of our terrain. If our terrain, the cell, the fluid that our body bathes in, and the actual cells, if they are in an environment of low oxygen, inflammation, acidity, and excess of sugar and toxins, it creates the perfect storm for cancer to grow.

Hello listeners, this is Ann Boeckle, author, blogger, and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week I take all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next reading. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately. And I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years, and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And, of course, recommending books that meet the moment, whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything. You'll learn something about yourself as a reader, and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try. So join us each Tuesday for what Should I Read Next? Subscribe now wherever you're listening to this podcast, and Visit our website whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com to find out more.
