September 2009 Newsletter

In this issue:

• Whats going up?
• More info/products on the Website - www.tauponatural.com
• Health snippets - Culinary delights.
• Special September offer

This issue will be very brief and as some of you may have realised, its already a little later in its delivery than usual. This is all due to the fact that we have both been away from the clinic lately - as some of you will be aware, Susannes Mum passed away recently and with this type of event there are many things that need to "be sorted".

Thankfully we are almost there, but what I have learn't out of this is that if you can't take it with you don't worry about it. It seems we are all guilty of accumulating all types of "stuff" and once we leave this realm what use is it to us - or anyone for that matter. Enjoy your things while you can, use the good glasses and expensive crockery, don't worry if something gets a wee scratch on it and most of all show gratitude for what and who you have around you.

I had planned to write a little about hypertension this month - hence the title, but that will have to come sometime soon. So what is it that is going up?
It hasn't happened for a couple of years but we know it is a fact of life, so effective 1 October 2009, prices on all ONEgroup products will increase by an average of 3.5%.

As an Australian enterprise, ONEgroup sources ingredients for their products across five continents of the world. In many of these areas prices have skyrocketed as fuel cost and fair trade labour policies – a good thing – have increased. Innovative business practices and automation have enabled ONEgroup to avoid a price rise for nearly two years but now global conditions require an adjustment.

Your commitment in suppporting the organic and natural lifestyle industry through our ONEgroup products is something that we greatly value.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to provide you with the world's finest organic products, anywhere!
So with this in mind, whether it is through the products listed on www.tauponatural.com or directly through our affiliated website www.thebecks.mionegroup.com it doesn't matter, but of course now is the time to get in and place an order for one of those great organic products you know you want - you have until the end of the month to get in before the prices go up.

Health snippets(International News)

Culinary herbs as biological insecticide?

Its not really anything new to those of us in the know - herbs are amazing medicines - but in a new study, scientists have determined that spices like rosemary, thyme, clove, and mint can provide eco-friendly pesticides for organic fruits and vegetables. As the industry tries to satisfy demands for fruits and veggies free of toxic residues, well-known spices are now becoming organic agriculture’s key weapons against insect pests.

Do you know what plastics to avoid?

Here is some information relating to plastics - inparticular, those plastics we should be avoiding. Just imagine that in the future(and its not too far away) we will have products in "safe" and biodegradable plastics. This is something ONEgroup is also working on, it is going to happen so watch this space.

The toxicity of plastics is not fully understood or adequately tested. What we do know is that most plastics contain chemical additives to change the quality of the plastic for its intended use (examples are to make it softer or resistant to UV light). Some of these ingredients or additives we know are harmful, like the plastics chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) and the plastic softeners called phthalates. Others, we just don't know enough about.
