Quing-It ~ Your one-stop source for product ingredient information!

Learn for yourself about the potential dangers through exposure, to awide variety of  damaging, even sometimes deadly ingredients used in everyday consumer products; including products we inhale, ingest, and otherwise expose ourselves to, often on a regular basis.  Science is drawing some convincing and disturbing conclusions with regard to the real dangers around us.  Besides the air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, and other general pollution we generate, we are also exposed to pollutants and toxins in many of our foods, beverages, snacks, gum, candy; in some of our cosmetics and health/hygiene products (shampoos/conditioners, soaps, mascaras and other make-up, deodorants, perfumes, colognes, even toothpastes and mouth-rinses--and much more!); in our household cleaning, laundry and other similar products; in our modern materials for buildings, food storage and preservation, food processing; automotive products, and a host of other potentially "unsafe-for-human" substances and exposures.   While we cannot demand immediate and abrupt discontinuance of some of these dangerous substances and ingredients, we can certainly become as educated and as wise about them as possible...given the wealth of data and information that is now available.  We can choose to purchase products with safe ingredients, that's about all.  Be sure to look for safe, non-toxic, non-harmful and otherwise non-damaging product ingredients in as many things as possible!  That way, if enough of us demand safer products, manufacturers (and even government!) might get the message; that "we're not going to take it anymore!" Good news at GoodGuide.com!   I want to extend congratulations and accolades to GoodGuide.com, for coming out with their cell-phone application (iPhone) for scanning barcodes for product ingredient information; complete with GoodGuide's health, environmental, and other ratings.  Right in the store; right while you shop!      GoodGuide currently provides this kind of instantaneous data on thousands (and growing!) of consumer products, including processed foods, cosmetics, household chemicals, and more; through their (free?) iPhone(r) application.    I am thrilled that this concept is now a reality!  And, I am thrilled that GoodGuide.com made it happen!  The idea is one that I have been hoping would come about for consumers; though I did not see how I could do it myself.  I am glad to see it taking good form at GoodGuide.    Hopefully, this will help consumers to resist the disease-related substances we are exposed to in everyday living.  And, ultimately, perhaps manufacturers of those substances and products will be forced to concoct, create, manufacture and distribute safer products to what USED to be "an ignorant and gullible public".   Not any more!  Thanks to GoodGuide.com! Update, May 2011: The original concept behind the "Quing-It" philosophy for allowing immediate access to product ingredient information simply by scanning a product's barcode or other identifying symbol with cell phones or other devices has been implemented and launched by GoodGuide.com.  Quing-It.com remains online as a place where consumers can dig into product ingredients, to have a broadened view from numerous available resources, many collected here for convenience. We can become a healthier people; instead of a people growing older only to become dependent on chemical pharmaceuticals and costly health care; by avoiding products with known harmful ingredients, we can conceivably decrease our overall body-burden, and become healthier.  And, we could ultimately force manufacturers and producers of dangerous consumer items to come up with safer alternatives that don't inflict harm on life, or the environment, or anything else!   We already know that many of our commercially produced and processed foods, cosmetics, cleaning products, (and many other things we use every day) are laced with ingredients that have been found to be harmful in various ways and in various degrees.   Research is proving that elimination of as much of those harmful ingredients as is feasible might have profoundly positive effects on overall health and well-being.  Yet, our governing bodies overseeing safety of such items as food and consumer products do not seem to believe some of that research; since the toxic and hazardous ingredient use continues; and, for the most part, with the government's blessings. We must take control of our own health by eliminating our use and exposure of dangerous, sometimes even deadly, product ingredients.  Reading the labels is important; but in no way is it enough.  We all know that most ingredient labels are written in a language most of us do not understand.  How convenient is that, for keeping us "dumb" about these things?  The research has already been done on many product ingredients and toxic substances we become exposed to in everyday life.  Now, it's time to bring real transparency to just what some of those components of everyday life are capable of doing to us.  Indeed, it is high time we demand safe products and work toward banning any products known to be generally harmful to life.  Is there really any other way?   How can we, in good conscience, allow such things to continue?  QUICK-LINK SECTION Use these links to connect to a wide variety of product ingredient information sources.  Learn about cancer-causing chemicals, toxic ingredients, dangerous cosmetic ingredients, toxic food ingredients, pollution of all kinds, and more.

NutritionPedia Search Are we slowly building our own diseases and ailments? As we all should know by now, chronic or repeated exposure to some everyday pollutants and toxic product ingredients can add to the collective 'body burden' we are all building within us; which can lead to disease and premature death; if not carefully monitored and controlled. Read about the Human Toxome Project, which is made up of a group of scientists who are collecting and evaluating data about the effects of pollution and toxins we are exposed to; and what damage can be expected from such exposures.  Some such exposures are collectively called the body-burden; indicating that many of these exposures might accumulate in the body, and ultimately lead to disease and death.    Even children are ingesting, inhaling, breathing, applying, chewing, and otherwise being exposed to some pretty ugly substances that their growing bodies struggle to overcome.  Sometimes, unfortunately, they do not overcome the potent effects some substances can bring on.  It seems that many children today are getting diseases and ailments that only a generation ago were thought of as 'aging diseases'; where typically, only those in their waning years experienced.  Diseases in children like childhood obesity, 'adult-onset' diabetes, cancers, autism; and the newly discovered diseases like ADD, ADHD; and recently, some suspicions of early-age Alzheimer's disease are puzzling the experts; and there are a lot of signs that point to a variety of 'environmental exposures', as being significantly involved in some of these situations.  It seems like we hear more and more of these sad stories every day, yet our leaders are very slow to become more proactive about it all. This site is intended to help consumers make informed choices with regard to everyday exposures to product ingredients many consumers just do not understand very much about. SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
