The only addition I wish it had was more about home products -- furniture, TVs, light fixtures, etc. Anyone heard of such a site? There's so many claims companies make ... just like the difference between what the front of the cereal box says vs. the nutrition label. I'd love to know what the "truth" is ... This site is great!

It is way scary how many seemingly "healthy" options turn out to be, well, terrible! For a long time, I thought the same thing about "low-fat" products and "natural" things like 100% juice before finding out that a lot of these were packing a hidden punch. As far as juice for my kids, I used to cut 100% juice with water, until I found a product recently that basically does it for me and serves it up in spill proof, reuseable sippy cups. <a href="http://www.firstjuice.com/" rel="nofollow">First Juice</a> is organic, and has 50% less sugar than 100% juice (but all the nutrients). Plus they have cool flavors like peach+purple carrot (not to mention the bottles are BPA free). What a great tool! It is way scary how many seemingly “healthy” options turn out to be, well, terrible!
