At a glance guide to plastic bottles

Lately, you’ve been hearing all kinds of bad news reports about toxic chemicals leaching from plastic bottles and containers. Here at USANA, we care about your health. If you heat these bottles or re-use them, you might be increasing your exposure to hormone mimics or any of a number of other chemicals.

On the other hand, plastic is all around us, and not all of it is hazardous to your family’s health. How do you know which types of plastics are worse, and which are not as bad? The fist clue is the number inside the recycling symbol on the bottom of the bottles or containers. The numbers indicate which are accepted by recyclers, but they also indicate the class of plastic and its chemical characteristics:

No. 1 PETE or PET (polyethylene terephthalate)
No. 2 HDPE (high density polyethylene)
No. 3. V (vinyl) or PVC
No. 4. LDPE (low density polyethylene)
No. 5. PP (polypropylene)
No. 6. PS (polystyrene)
No. 7. Other or miscellanous

To sum up, if the bottle has the number 1, 2, 4, or 5 on the bottom, it’s made from one of the safer plastics. If the number says 3, 6, or 7, there is a greater likelihood that the bottle will be leaving a chemical residue in your beverage. Category No. 3, PVC or polyvinyl chloride, is the worst, followed by No. 7, which may contain polycarbonates (bisphenol-A).

Another clue is that the softer the plastic the more likely that leaching can occur. You can also use your nose. If you sniff a hint of plastic, find another container. Of course, your best bet is to avoid plastics for food and beverage altogether, and use glass, metal, or ceramic refillable containers whenever possible.

The USANA Difference

Oxidative Stress and Antioxidants – In the process of using oxygen in the conversion of food into energy by our cells – free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules, are formed. Free radicals are the basis of oxidative stress in our body as they interact with other molecules that might damage cells and ultimately leading to aging of our body and cause of many diseases.

While our body naturally produces antioxidants to neutralize free radicals, changes in our lifestyle including diet and environmental factors have weakened our oxidative defense. Moreover, with the way our food source is grown and over processed, we might not be obtaining the amount of antioxidants required to counteract the ever growing barrage of free radicals we are exposed to.

Dietary Supplement - Consuming vitamins and minerals is a way for us to make up for this nutritional deficit in our diet and food source. For optimal health and cellular function, your daily diet needs to have a complete and balanced nutrition. Usana’s products provide us with the right quality and quantity of antioxidant containing nutrient we need to build strong defense against oxidative stress.

USANA uses pharmaceutical grade and Good Manufacturing Process - Is there a difference in how supplements are produced? You bet. The manufacturing impacts quality such as potency, purity, and absorbency of nutrients. USANA develops premium grade quality supplements by following Good Manufacturing Process (GMP) for pharmaceutical grade products. Six of USANA products are listed in 2004 edition of the Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR). The company goes the extra mile in providing the best supplements available. The best of it all is that you can obtain USANA high quality products available at wholesale price to consumers.

Revolutionary Self-Preserving Skin Care—USANA has found an exclusive patent-pending self-preserving technology that’s used in its Sense skin care line. This discovery puts USANA in the forefront of providing state of the art beautiful science for the skin while the majority of the cosmetics and personal care products still contain chemical preservatives that are controversial and could compromise your health and safety.

Health and Wellness – The health and wellness industry is growing. World-renowned economist and entrepreneur Paul Zane Pilzer states that the next trillion dollar industry is in the health and wellness arena. Baby Boomers who make up about 1/3rd of world population are aging. They are seeking products and services that remind them of their youth, turn back the time, and slow their aging.

They want to remain young-looking, feel healthy and lose weight, reduce signs of aging, and prevent getting degenerative diseases. USANA’s product line meets the demands of Baby Boomers and people who want to improve their health and wellness.

Neither a scientific work nor an autobiography, Invisible Miracles has hints of each woven through the pages.

Rather than a chronological album, this book contains a few editorial vignettes outlining Dr. Myron Wentz' lifelong quest, with emphasis on cellular nutrition. Dr. Wentz agreed to share a fight against one of the world's greatest challenges--chronic degenerative disease--and hope that true health can be realized for future generations everywhere.
