Will Soy Candles Be The Leader To Light The Future?
By Brian F Connors, Fri Dec 9th

Ahhhh, the scent and sight of a burning paraffin wax candle andthe appealing ambiance that it floats throughout a room! One maythink that this scenario is innocence in its purest sense. Thereis, after all, that cozy feeling which makes one give thought toeverything that's good in this world. That is until you take thetime to get acquainted with the darker side of the world ofparaffin wax candles.

Did you know that paraffin is a petroleum by-product which meansthat paraffin wax may be a risk to the well-being of yourhealth? How is that, you ask? Well after petroleum is processedinto gasoline, kerosene, motor oil, diesel and other fuels, theexcess waste is then used in the production of paraffin whichcontains harmful toxins and carcinogens. Hmmmm.

The black soot buildup on your walls, ventilating system,furniture and so forth after burning paraffin wax candles issimilar in composition to diesel soot. This dirty matter makes adeposit of unwanted and dangerous pollutants into our homes thatendangers the health and welfare of family, pets, and ourselveswhen breathed into our collective lungs. Studies have shown thatcancer-causing agents released by paraffin wax candles are justas toxic as second hand cigarette smoke and can cause damage tothe heart, lungs, circulatory system and nervous system. This isnot a good thing.

to over 2 billiondollars annually over the last decade according to the NationalCandle Association? I'm not sure but I'd hazard a guess that themesmerizing glow and soothing fragrances are part of why sevenout of every ten households burn candles regularly.

Here's a question, though, that I'd like to pose to anyone thatsubscribes to the rules of common sense. It's the one that yourparents or teachers of yesteryear asked when the majority wasacting in an intellectually challenged way. I'll paraphrase ithere : "If everyone was jumping off a cliff, would you do thesame thing?" The same thing holds for paraffin wax candles butwhat alternatives are there to break this dangerous habit?

I'm glad that you asked. The answer is Soy Candles. Why the joyfor soy? Soy wax is 100% by-product and not apetroleum by-product. Soy is completely non-toxic andnon-carcinogenic and soy candles produce little or no soot todamage the surrounding room or to those with allergies orbreathing problems. Soy wax is environmentally safe,biodegradable and is easily cleaned up with just soap and water.

Hold on, I'm not finished yet....Soy candles burn cleanly andevenly leaving very little to zero excess wax on the sides ofthe jar to eliminate waste. They also burn cooler than mostparaffin wax candles which will lessen the risk of serious burnsfrom melted wax. These babies also burn 30 to 50 percent longerthan paraffin wax candles which makes them more economical touse. They also seem to hold their fragrances extremely wellcompared to the naughty petroleum by-product kind.

Ok, Ok just one more reason to think soy. These candles are madefrom 100% soybean wax made from soybeans grown right smack herein the USA. So what? Well, this not only benefits ourenvironment but also supports our local agricultural industry.It appears that soy candles beat those bad-boy cousins on everylevel.

Ya gotta get the facts before indulging in the pleasure ofenjoying the world of candles. Think outside the box and do theright thing. Your life and others may very well depend on it!
