Use the list below to put your learning into action.

Study the material in the resources listed below, and choose one (or all) of the topics to create educational handouts for your clients:
- Organic food is either free from or has a much lower level of pesticides, which are neurotoxins. Neurotoxins are toxins that can damage your brain and nerve cells. Many pesticides currently being used are still considered neurotoxins. For more information and a PDF copy of the “Clean Fifteen and Dirty Dozen” produce guide, visit http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/
- Avoid food ingredients that are neurotoxic: red and yellow dyes, butyrates, MSG and many more. These toxins have been linked to brain disorders and neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s Chorea, and Parkinson’s. http://energyfanatics.com/2010/05/02/ten-neurotoxins-you-should-avoid/
