The staff at Olive Retreat is continuously studying the latest research, science, nutrition, and the environment. They have found that since 1940, over 90,000 synthetic chemicals have been added to the environment and only a small percentage of these have been tested for their health impacts. Many are dangerous, carcinogenic, mutagenic, and endocrine disrupters. These chemicals affect the human body when interacting with the environment.
