The Truth About Tap Water…

…is that, in the USA, it is more often than not, harmful because most of the time it is laced with fluoride. Fluoride is a toxic industrial waste. As one commenter noted, the US public has been made to believe that fluoride is good…well I wanted to put some more resources here for us all to get re-educated (photos & citations)
The Fluoride Deception This is a very illuminating video. (30 min)

From the map we can see that Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, Montana and perhaps New Jersey are the only states where less than 25% of the tap water is fluoridated.. Fluoride is poison and is NOT healthy for human consumption. More than not healthy, fluoride is harmful!
- American Dental Association (.pdf) admits that flouride is harmful to the development of teeth (So, I say, don’t buy fluoridated baby bottled water. Don’t reconstitute baby formula with fluoridated tap water.)
- Fluoride is used in rat poison to kill them
- Fluoride is linked to other heavy metal toxins that found in drinking water [such as] lead, arsenic, aluminum and cadmium (Dartmouth News)
- Tooth decay is prevented through good nutrition and oral hygiene
- Ninety percent of the fluoride we use to fluoridate U.S. water systems comes directly from the pollution scrubbing systems of the phosphate fertilizer industry. Recently, there has been some concern among clean water activists about the purity of this industrial grade fluoride, known as hydrofluosilicic acid. As investigative journalist George Glasser has pointed out, this hydrofluosilicic acid contains trace amounts of numerous heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. (Fluoride Action Network)
Brita filters out particulate matter, not fluoride. This is what you can do now. Learn about what distillation is here. Then get your very own counter top distillation unit or not. (This is a distillation unit, not a reverse osmosis unit, which is also an effective way to remove Fluoride from water)

That list of naturally occurring components of coffee can be found at Dr Duke’s Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases Organic coffee has all of that (above) but doesn’t have any of the additional chemicals associated with non-organic farming and processing of regular and of decaffeinated coffee.
So “cui bono” when your cuppa joe is tainted with stuff that can, over time, challenge your body to the point of illness? Who needs that?
Now I know coffee can be addicting. A friend of mine simply must start her day with a cup of espresso. Without it she gets terrible headaches…
For those who drink decaffeinated coffee, please note that only the “Swiss process” uses strictly water as the chemical solvent t extract the caffeine. Other processes of decaffeination use other solvents are actually toxic! So drinking decaffeinated coffee, has less caffeine (NOT ZERO caffeine!) and a lot more less than healthful chemicals thrown in to boot.
In order to extract caffeine the coffee is soaked in a solvent. The solvents, except for water, are not beneficial to health and invariably traces of the solve remain on the coffee.
Here are the solvents that are often used to extract caffeine commercially: trichlorethylene central nervous system depressant, carcinogen) , methylene chloride (less toxic, metabolized into carbon monoxide n the body), ethyl acetate.
So if you enjoy coffee or you just have to have it, for any reason, why make yours organic! Your body will love you for it!
The Truth About Teeth Whitening…
WATCH THE VIDEO!
His teeth DO look pretty white! Don’t you think? It’s also true that chlorine bleach is toxic…but when has that stopped us from using it?
In the USA most municipal tap water comes form water treated with chlorine, most swimming pools are filled with chlorinated water and we use chlorine bleach on clothing and to disinfect household surfaces. So we are obviously already dousing ourselves with it!
The chlorine bleach treatment is definitely unconventional however it seems to be working for the man in the video. What has he got to gain from telling us a fib? Like he said he’s not selling us anything. He’s not making any money from this at all.Now if you are not keen on the unconventional but brushing your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste just doesn’t seem to be making a dramatic impact why not consider a professional whitening treatment.
I’m not speaking of one from your regular dentist…There is nothing like bright white teeth to show off a dazzling smile. In fact, some might argue that it’s the whiteness of the teeth that make a great smile spectacular. Whether for an event like a wedding, job interview or you just want to improve your looks with whiter teeth and a more beautiful smile, professional teeth whitening is the solution for you.
With locations across the USA –Atlanta, Beverly Hills, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Irvine, La Jolla, New York, Palo Alto, Phoenix, McLean, San Francisco, Walnut Creek, Schamburg—Brite Smile has the look and feel of a day spa crossed with a dental office.BriteSmile uses a the latest tooth whitening technology in cosmetic dentistry. It’s a kind of bleaching that takes about an hour to achieve and that lasts for years! Laser whitening, whitening strips, whitening toothpaste, BriteSmile
offers the best teeth whitening available.There are two key elements to the treatment: a bleaching gel with 15% peroxide (bleach) and a blue light. The light accelerates/intensifies the bleaching process. Whitening is guaranteed
The Truth About Crockpots…
Some people like to cook and some people don’t. Some people have the means to cook and some people don’t. A crockpot is a way to cook that doesn’t require too much in the way of culinary talent nor a bunch of fancy equipment. All you need is a crockpot, a source of electricity to plug it in and some ingredients. Here’s an interesting source for crockpot recipes I found while Stumbling today.
Slow cookers are a wonderful way to have a nicely cooked hot meal at the end of the day, without having to spend any of the day in the kitchen slaving over the pots and pans. (You could be slaving over the computer instead writing for your blog or outside puttering around in your garden or whatever! Heck, you could almost take a nap…as long as you have an alarm clock)
The slow simmering allows the full development and appreciation of the many nuanced flavor. Personally I haven’t used any thing but a crockpot for at least 3 years! I have two of them, in fact. And although I don ‘t use recipes anymore at least there are plenty of recipes available at least as points of reference. Here is a nice resource for those of us who like to use a recipe, at least as a starting point.
Now these ceramic pots which sit inside a metal sleeve or cooking can be removed for easy cleaning and for use on top of the stove or in the oven however there is absolutely no need to use a stove at all for this.

DentFresh Fluoride Mint Toothpaste Recalled…
If you use this brand, you should toss it or return it to the store you bought it at. There is a national recall on it because it has been tested and contains some antifreeze chemicals.
Here is the recall information from the federal site.
