Qualities

Alcohol Free ▸ x No natural or added alcohol means the product won’t dry out hands, hair, or anything in between. Did you know? Alcohol in consumer products like shampoo and face wash can dry out and otherwise irritate skin. Alcohol can be found in mouthwashes and hand sanitizers where it is meant to kill germs, including the ones that cause bad breath. The alcohol content in certain products is so high it can cause someone to fail a breathalyzer test if ingested.	Low Glycemic ▸ x Foods that minimally affect blood glucose levels. Consuming low glycemic foods can be beneficial for your health by lowering your blood pressure level and minimizing spikes in your blood sugar level.
BPA Free ▸ x The product and/or its packaging is said not to contain the chemical bisphenol-A, which has been linked in various studies to endocrine system disruption, cancer, diabetes, and other conditions. Did you know? Some joke that BPA should stand for Big Profit Accumulation—eight billion pounds are manufactured annually and $700,000 worth is sold every hour! Thanks to all the BPA in consumer products and the environment, 93% of Americans have this chemical floating around in their bodies. People aren’t the only thing BPA is polluting. Because it’s used in thermal sales receipt paper (you know, the shiny stuff), most recycled paper is also contaminated.	Low Sugar ▸ x Items containing low levels of sugars and other carbohydrates can be part of a low-sugar or low-carb diet recommended by doctors for diabetics. Did you know? The term “sugar high” may be truer than we thought; animals given intermittent access to sugar exhibit the same brain changes as drug addicts. The average adult consumes 22 teaspoons of sugar a day, and teens eat about 34 teaspoons a day. This is partially because sugar is so prevalent in processed foods. Meanwhile the American Heart Association recommends just 6 teaspoons of sugar a day for women and 9 for men. There’s nothing sweet about the acne, obesity, heart disease, depression, and cancer that too much sugar is said to cause.
Caffeine Free ▸ x Caffeine, a stimulant that fights fatigue, is a drug. And it can be addictive. But you probably already knew that. Did you know? Caffeine can be found in a variety of products, most commonly coffee, tea, soda, and chocolate. If you’re interested in going off caffeine, it’s best to wean slowly to avoid headaches. You can decrease the amount of coffee you drink daily, or you can switch to a low-caffeine tea, like white tea, and progress from there.	No Added Sugar or Sweeteners ▸ x Product may contain sugars naturally present in ingredients like fruit including apple sauce, but no additional sweeteners have been added. Did you know? There are many reasons for avoiding added sugar and sweeteners, including disease like diabetes. People who prefer to avoid processed sugars and are able to medically tolerate natural sweeteners can choose things like honey, maple syrup, and agave nectar.
Casein Free ▸ x Contains no casein, potentially allergenic proteins found in milk and dairy foods as well as products containing casein-based binders, emulsifiers, or stabilizers. Did you know? Casein is a protein found in milk. It shows up in various products from cheese to plastic to paint. Casein is one of two proteins found in cow’s milk that can trigger an allergy. Some people are allergic to it, others are allergic to whey. Still others are allergic to both. Vegans looking for cosmetics read labels to avoid casein, which is decidedly not vegan.	No Artificial Ingredients ▸ x Products that are guaranteed to be completely natural with no synthetic ingredients. If you can’t pronounce it, it’s not going in here. It’s that simple. Think about it, people 100 years ago didn’t eat highly processed foods with chemicals in them. Neither should you.
CFC Free ▸ x The product does not contain chlorofluorocarbon, a chemical that is harmful to the environment. And if it’s harmful to the environment, it’s probably not great for you. So why use it? Did you know? Chlorofluorocarbons aka CFCs were first introduced in consumer products as refrigerants, propellants (think aerosol sprays), and certain solvents in the late 1800s. CFCs were commonly used because they are unreactive in the lower atmosphere. Unfortunately they’re extremely reactive in the upper atmosphere and breakdown the ozone layer. According to the EPA, concern about the ozone layer in the 1970s led several countries to ban the use of CFCs as aerosol propellants, including the U.S. But they were—and are—still used elsewhere and in other applications.	Organic ▸ x Products produced fully or primarily without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides. Better for the planet? Yup. Better for you? You bet.
Chlorine Free ▸ x No chlorine or chlorine-based chemicals like sodium hypochlorite are in the product.	Peanut Free ▸ x Product contains no peanuts and is produced in a facility that that does not process peanuts in order to prevent cross-contamination. Did you know? Peanut allergies are on the rise. About 1 to 1.5 percent of the U.S. population is currently allergic to peanuts. These allergies range from mild to life threatening. Due to the prevalence and severity of peanut allergies, many schools and even airlines have become peanut-free. If you love PB&J; but need to avoid the P, the market has responded. Alternatives to peanut butter now abound and include almond, cashew, soy, and even sunflower seed butters.
Corn Free ▸ x Drive across America and you’ll see a lot of corn fields. Look at these products and you know what you won’t see? Corn. Like any. That’s because these products do not contain corn or any ingredient derived from corn.	Pesticide Free ▸ x No synthetic insecticides, herbicides, fungicides or rodenticides. Did you know? Unlike USDA organic, which has set rules about synthetic pesticide use, pesticide-free isn’t a third party certifiable claim. Not every producer can afford to get certified by the USDA so pesticide-free is an unregulated claim you sometimes see on small batch products. Pesticides can harm both humans and the environment—as well as the pests they’re meant to poison. There are health effects associated with specific pesticides and they contribute to water and soil pollution. Pests can develop resistance to pesticides. When this happens, more and more are employed. This is referred to as the “pesticide treadmill.”
Dairy Free ▸ x Did you know? There are many reasons people choose to eliminate dairy from their diets, including lactose intolerance. An estimated 75 percent of the world is lactose intolerant. Dairy is often considered the only way to get sufficient calcium, but this isn’t the case. There are many non-dairy sources of calcium, including dark leafy green vegetables, seafood, certain nuts, and some beans. Some sources claim that countries with the lowest dairy intake have the lowest rates of osteoporosis.	Petroleum Free ▸ x No ingredients derived from petroleum or petrochemicals. Did you know? Petroleum is used to make lipsticks shine, cream smooth, and to create a barrier on skin, among other things. When reading labels in an effort to avoid petroleum in your personal care products, don’t look for the word petroleum. It’s rarely listed this way. Keep an eye out for paraffin wax, mineral oil, petrolatum, and propylene glycol. Many scents and fragrances are also petroleum-derived. Proponents of avoiding petroleum in personal care products say it disrupts the way the body naturally detoxifies by not letting the skin breathe. Some say it also slows cell renewal rate and ages skin.
Dye and Color-Additive Free ▸ x No synthetic dyes, chemical food coloring, or other artificial colorants. Any color apparent in the product is naturally derived. Did you know? There are currently 7 petrochemical-derived artificial colors allowed in food today in the United States. Some of these are banned in other countries. Artificial coloring has been linked to adverse health effects. Certain food dyes have been known to trigger allergies and they have also been said to aggravate ADD and ADHD symptoms. Some companies make two kinds of the same food—one dyed for the U.S. market and one without banned dyes for the E.U. A widely noted example of this is Kraft’s macaroni and cheese. Natural foods tend to contain dyes derived from edible substances and plants including blueberries, carrots, and annatto.	Phthalate Free ▸ x No phthalates, chemicals used as solvents, scent carriers, and plasticizers, linked to endocrine disruption, cancer, reproductive and other disorders. Did you know? Phthalates are actually easy to pronounce (THAL-ates) but can be hard to avoid. They’re common in soft plastics, synthetic fragrances, and conventional personal care items like nail polish. Vinyl items like toys and shower curtains like can contain up to 40% phthalates by weight! They’re worth trying to avoid as they’ve been linked to cancer, reproductive and developmental disorders, and organ and nervous system damage. Like many chemicals, phthalates can easily escape from whatever they’re in. When they do, they wind up in our bodies, where they resist decay and accumulate over time. The more we encounter, the more we get stuck with. Studies show that virtually every single man, woman, and child in America has phthalates in their body today.
Egg Free ▸ x Products that do not contain eggs or any ingredient derived from eggs.	Salt Free ▸ x Products that are low in sodium. Limiting one’s salt intake can aid in lowering high blood pressure, edema and many other health issues.
Family-Owned Business ▸ x Many of our products are family labors of love. Some of them come from multi-generation family businesses. We’re proud to have them as part of the Abe’s family.	Soy Free ▸ x These products do not contain soy or any ingredient derived from soy.
GMO Free ▸ x No genetically modified or engineered organisms or ingredients derived from them. Claim can be verified by the Non-GMO Project. Did you know? Surveys show that over 90% of Americans think GM foods should be labeled. 53% say they wouldn’t buy food that’s been genetically modified. The thing is, most of us are already buying GM foods. 80% of processed foods contain GMOs and 88% of all U.S. corn, 95% of sugar beets, and 94% of our soy is genetically modified. Unlike the U.S., Most countries have just said no to GMOs. Nearly 50 have banned or significantly restricted GM crops. Just five nations grow 90% of the world’s GM crops: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, India, and the U.S. Most GMOs are altered to resist herbicides or bugs. One type of corn makes its own pesticides. Those pesticides are now showing up inside people.	Sugar Free ▸ x Made without refined sugar, corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, or natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey.
High Fructose Corn Syrup Free ▸ x This product is made without any high fructose corn syrup. Did you know? High fructose corn syrup is cheap and therefore ubiquitous in packaged products. It has also been linked to a number of health problems including obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. A fun documentary to watch on the topic is King Corn. HFCS pops up in unexpected places and in foods most of us don’t consider sweet, including sliced bread, cereal, soup, and condiments. A study done in 2009 found mercury contamination in samples of commercial HFCS.	Tree Nut Free ▸ x No tree nuts, legumes, or ingredients derived from them. Product is also manufactured in a facility that does not process nuts of any kind. Did you know? Not everyone is nuts about nuts. Some 1.8 million Americans are allergic to tree nuts, and 2% of the population has peanut allergies. Though peanuts are technically a legume, their proteins are similar to those in tree nuts. That’s why some people are allergic to both. A little can unfortunately go a long way—allergies can be triggered by as little as 1/2000th of a single nut. Vigilance is key! Nut ingredients can hide in dressings, sauces, veggie burgers, pastas, breading, pastry, and even body care products.
Low Carb ▸ x Products that are low in carbohydrates, such as grains, starchy vegetables and fruits. They can help with weight loss and blood pressure and blood insulin regulation.	Vegan ▸ x A form of vegetarianism. No animal products are eaten, including dairy, eggs, and honey. Many vegans also avoid non-edible animal products like fur, leather, and wool. Did you know? Veganism doesn’t just affect what happens in your kitchen. It can also reduce your carbon footprint by 1.5 tons per year! Despite many worthy advantages, veganism has yet to win any popularity contests. Only 1.4% of American adults have decided to bite. Babies like it, too; vegan breast milk tests show it contains significantly lower levels of pollutants like pesticides and dioxins than non-vegan breast milk.
Low Fat ▸ x These products have 3 grams of fat or less per serving.	Vegetarian ▸ x A diet that excludes meat products and their derivatives, but can include eggs, dairy and other animal-sourced foods Did you know? Americans are definitely eating their veggies: 46% say they eat vegetarian meals though only 4% say they are full-time vegetarians. A “flexitarian” is someone who has adopted a vegetarian diet, but only part time. Going whole hog is a good idea. Vegetarian diets have been linked to reduced obesity, coronary disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer risk. Vegetarians have more time to enjoy their food than the rest of us; vegetarian diets are said to add 13 years to the average human lifespan!
