WARNING: Your Cookware Could be Making You Sick!

28 04 2008

Despite your best intentions to eat healthier meals, exercise regularly, drink pure water, and use key supplements, something scary could be preventing you from achieving your peak wellness.

And it lurks in your kitchen cabinets …

Funny as it may sound, that scary “something ” could be your pots and pans! Yes, the cookware you use to prepare your food might be downright dangerous to your health.

This may not be a new issue for you. As I continue to discuss the dangers of some types of cookware on the site, one of the most common questions I receive is “What type of cookware do you recommend?”.

You’ll find the answer below. But before you read this, it’s important to know that I’ve been working on bringing a healthy and affordable cookware alternative to the U.S. for over two years!

I thought I had solved the problem when we received a major shipment of cookware just prior to the Christmas holidays. Unfortunately, the initial manufacturer we worked with tried to “sneak in” a potentially dangerous non-stick fluoride based coating.

So I rejected the entire shipment (even though it cost many thousands of dollars). Obviously, there was no way I could sell this type of cookware on the site.

But finally, we found a reputable company to work with. Now, I’m proud to introduce the answer to your questions — and what I feel is one of the most incredible values you will ever find in cookware.

As you know, I wouldn’t advise you to throw anything

out unless I’ve found that it has been linked to health

problems. I’m as concerned about frugality as you are.

But something that may cause severe health risks is another story.

And in my opinion, changing your cookware might be an easy and inexpensive secret that unlocks perplexing health problems — and could be the key to avoiding hidden causes of long-term health risks.

Let me show you why …

What Hidden Health Hazards Lurk in Your Cookware Cabinet?



Bottled water: No longer cool?

13 12 2007

Yep - water costs the same as soda and three times as much as the gas.

Some brands like PepsiCo’s Aquafina are made from filtered tap water.

 

 

So critics are asking: Why drink bottled water?

After all, it’s pricey. Packaging and shipping water consumes energy and contributes to global warming. Empty bottles add to litter and solid waste. And, as a rule, bottled water is no safer or healthier than the H2O that flows from municipal water systems.

What’s more, blind taste tests, while wholly unscientific, often show that few people can distinguish between bottled and tap water.

No wonder environmentalists, shareholder activists and church groups are targeting Coca-Cola (Charts, Fortune 500), PepsiCo (Charts, Fortune 500) and Nestle (Charts), the leading sellers of bottled water. Some examples: Read full article

Juan’s comment:

A great way to make a difference and correct the situation is to use an ionized alkaline producing water filter. The very best water ionizer is the Leveluk SD501 by Enagic. Take a look at the online SD501 brochure here.

The benefits of drinking ionized alkaline water are numerous, starting with the many benefits to your body. The other very important factor is the impact on the environment. I believe that it’s time that everyone start to think about what they are putting in their bodies, where they are putting their money and think about the planet we live on and how to help the planet heal. Every time that we do our part it’s a step in the right direction. By using a counter-top water ionizer we not only get the best hydrating water for our bodies we also reduce the use of plastic and we save money. Yes, you will actually save a lot of money in the long run by owning a Kangen water device.

BOTTLED WATER CONTAMINATION: AN OVERVIEW OF NRDC’S AND OTHERS’ SURVEYS

13 12 2007

Setting aside the question of whether bottled water is as pure as advertised, is the public’s view that bottled water is safer than tap water correct? Certainly the aggressive marketing by the bottled water industry would lead us to believe so.

516779___drink__.jpg

NRDC undertook a four-year, detailed investigation to evaluate the quality of bottled water. We reviewed published and unpublished literature and data sources, wrote to and interviewed by phone all 50 states asking for any surveys of bottled water quality they have conducted or were aware of, and interviewed experts from FDA. In addition, through three leading independent laboratories, we conducted “snapshot” testing of more than 1,000 bottles of water sold under 103 brand names.

What NRDC has found is in some cases reassuring and in others genuinely troubling. Read full article here

Early Death Comes From Drinking Distilled Water

12 12 2007

Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous 189795_glass_2_filling_with_water.jpg because of the rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value.

Distilled water is an active absorber and when it comes into contact with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic. The more distilled water a person drinks, the higher the body acidity becomes.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “Distilled water, being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends to dissolve substances with which it is in contact. Notably, carbon dioxide from the air is rapidly absorbed, making the water acidic and even more aggressive. Many metals are dissolved by distilled water.”

America: Overdosed on Flouride

28 11 2007

Whats in Your Water?

Tap water is absolutely the worst kind of water in the world because virtually all tap water is contaminated .
“…fluoride (that is added to municipal water) is a hazardous waste product…for which there is substantial evidence of adverse health effects and, contrary to public perception, virtually no evidence of significant benefits,” says Dr. William Hirzy, Vice President, Chapter 280 of the National Treasury Employees Union, EPA headquarters in Washington, D.C.

At least 22% of all American children now have dental fluorosis as a result of ingesting too much fluoride, according to The Centers for Disease Control.
That rate may be 69% in children from high socioeconomic-status families and those who live in fluoridated communities, according to a July 1998 report from The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and corroborated in several reports published since 1995 in the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA-see below). Fluorosis is the discoloration
and, in advanced cases, the pitting of teeth. Bleaching is not effective.

The more serious health concern is that dental fluorosis is not the only harmful health effect that results from overexposure to fluoride.

You Can Lead Them to Water…

18 11 2007

You can lead folks to water, but you can’t make them drink. The point being is that I know people who have illnesses and are in pain who suffer from fatigue and other ailments that can be attributed to chronic dehydration. So would water remedy their condition?

I think that it is agreed that drinking good clean water is a great place to start. The problem is not the water intake at this point. The problem is the water source and the means of receiving that water. So you want to heal naturally and you do all that you can to take care of yourself. You buy the best bottled spring water. Most likely from a plastic container. Read this post about the dangers of plastic. Or maybe you feel that distilled water or reverse osmosis is the way to go. Guess again.

These waters are basically dead and purged of minerals. The water will replace these minerals from your body. This can create a whole series of other conditions. I’m not trying to instill fear, I just want to make you aware of the fact that spring water bottled in plastic is acidic and is also in plastic. I don’t believe that allowing PCBs from plastic to enter your body via acidic water is beneficial in any way to any condition or ailment that you may suffer from. By drinking Kangen water from Enagic you are assured that you are drinking clean water, with a pH that will assist to bring your body to a slightly alkaline state. You are also ensuring that your body is absorbing the water at a molecular level because you are drinking Kangen water, which is also known as micro-clustered water or structured water.
