ABSOLTELY!! I specifically look for many of these labels on products. Especially dairy products! And it's a rare gem when I find it here in the not so health concious mid-Western State of Oklahoma!!
I completely agree with this article. And it is written well, and clearly gets the point across. I am a raw milk drinker, raw cheese eater, and even a raw meat eater (on occaision) myself. And I am all for FREEDOM and NOT a nanny state. However I did find one thing amusing and slightly ironic. You state,
"Third, empathic: "I understand the heavily litigation wary context within which all consumer purchases now take place, and Whole Foods must be trying to protect itself against frivolous lawsuits..."
….nah, that explanation, while a convenient one and likely close to the official one I might have received if I had asked, just seemed plainly disingenuous."
And yet at the very bottom of your article is a disclaimer saying,
"Disclaimer: This article is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Views expressed here do not necessarily reflect those of GreenMedInfo or its staff."
Isn't that the same thing that Whole Foods (and every other place that lables their raw, unpasteurized food products with a warning label? Covering all the bases to avoid any litigation, health department, and/or government coming after you??
Hi, can you provide a citation or link to the study you're referencing in this blog post? I doesn't appear to be available on the JCI journal's website.
People that don't know anything about chemistry or biology shouldn't post articles involving both. Do some proper research. If you think you're research was proper, then the title of my post is accurate.
Buy organic. Even the 'safe' infant formulas that adverstise no chemicals, preservatives etc. could come from cows that eat sprayed grass
Organic is the best way to avoid toxins, and, even better goats milk organic formula
I hate it when people say 'Well if it's in this it must be safe' or 'the government wouldn't allow toxic chemicals into these things'
The MSDS sheets say it all and often they say 'toxic at any level' so, what I get from that is there IS no safe level
The only way you could be confident that you're not getting all sorts of chemicals is to buy Organic, it may be more expensive but, I would think that any parent would agree that cost is no object when it comes to your kids (and it's more expensive to pay the doctor as well)
Read carefully and have a Sweet SPLENDA Life !!! tv
Because in my opinion nursing staff offer it too soon.. and push for ppl to have no pain instead of letting things take their course :(
Yes, fluoride in tea adds to the body burden of fluoride in the body. Drinking a gallon of regular tea each day can give you skeletal fluorosis in 10 - 20 years. Black tea seems to be especially high in fluoride and pregnant women should not drink it during pregnancy. An adult excretes less than 50% of ingested fluoride. A baby excretes less than 15%. It bio-accumulates in the body over your lifetime. Fluoride is attracted to calcium so it will be abundant in your teeth and skeletal system. Calcium is a fluoride antagonist. It is used as an antidote for fluoride overexposure. What is put in tap water however is not naturally occuring "calcium fluoride". What is added to tap water is "sodium fluoride" minus the antagonist calcium. This makes it more toxic to the body. Get plenty of calcium, magnesium and vitamin C in your diet. You can't cook fluoride out of tap water. Nor does it evaporate. Cooking with fluoridated tap water only concentrates it in your foods & beverages. In America most all processed foods, beverages and fresh produce contain fluoride. It isn't required to be labeled. The fluoride on fresh produce comes from pesticides that contain fluoride. Fluoride is also in the polluted air we breath. It is absorbed through the skin when bathing, showering or swimming in fluoridated tap water. Worse still, neither doctors or dentists monitor their patient's levels of fluoride in their hair, blood, urine, nails, bone, etc. How scientific is that? You can't determine a persons fluoride levels by simply counting cavities. Furthermore, bucket medication is unscientific as you can't control the dose. I've read that it takes months of avoiding fluoride to get the levels of it down in the body. Some claim that increasing your intake of iodine may help remove it but I've not researched it. Both fluoride and iodine are halogens and fluoride competes with iodine for the iodine receptors of the body and thyroid gland, and sometimes results in hyporthyroidism. Hypothyroidism causes elevated cholesterol levels.
What about flouride in black/green/white tea ? They have enormous amounts of flouride, so how safe is it to consume them ?
What's the best way to detox flouride, in your opinion ? Is avoiding flouride enough to detox flouride in time ?
