Frequently Asked Questions
Why Organic?

It's common sense; organic food is good food. Good to eat, good for the environment.

Reason #1 for eating Organic foods for your health: KEEP CHEMICALS OFF YOUR PLATE! Many pesticides approved for use by the EPA were registered long before extensive research linking these chemicals to cancer and other diseases had been established. Now the EPA considers that 60 percent of all herbicides, 90 percent of all fungicides and 30 percent of all insecticides are carcinogenic. A 1987 National Academy of Sciences report estimates that pesticides might cause an extra 1.4 million cancer cases among Americans over their lifetimes. The bottom line is that pesticides are poisons designed to kill living organisms and can also be harmful to humans. In addition to cancer, pesticides are implicated in birth defects, nerve damage, and genetic mutation.

Why should you use biodegradable products & what does "Biodegradable" mean?

A biodegradable product can dissolve easily in the environment without destroying nature. It’s the opposite of plastic and Styrofoam, which harm the environment. If everything was biodegradable, our world would be extremely clean! Unfortunately, products that are biodegradable are not used worldwide yet.

At Jen’s Natural Remedies, we carry a variety of biodegradable products. Natracare feminine pads & tampons, all purpose cleaners, dish washer cleaner, shower cleaner, laundry soap, and cleaning sponges are just some of them.

Here is the time is takes for some products to dissolve:

Paper………2-5 months

Orange peels.….6 months

Leather shoes…25-40 years
Glass bottles…..1 million years

String……… 3-4 months

Plastic Bags……….10-20 years

Tin Cans……… 50-100 years

Plastic Bottles……..Forever
