Crazed Ramblings from my Mind:
Angry at our current presidents lack of concern for the future of our nation? Do you feel the War on Iraq was a big scam? How
about the attack on civil liberties? Would it make you feel better to take matters into your
own hands, so to speak? Well, TrueMajority.com has got you covered. Let President
Bush know how you really feel about his shenanigans and vent some frustration as an
honest American in the process.
This is a little discouraging but it's next to impossible to eliminate or even cut back on the amount of fluoride in your diet.
It's common knowledge that it's found in most toothpaste and added to much of the nations water supply. What a lot of people
don't realize is that it's also found in soft drinks, produce that has been grown and rinsed with fluoridated water, and many
other foods that contain water. I've started buying non-fluoridated toothpaste,and I seldom drink soft drinks. I know that
helps a little but there is still fluoride in our tap water, mainly thanks to Illinois law. (Illinois and California are the
only two states required by law to have fluoride added to "city" water even though it's common throughout the US.) We have a
Brita pitcher that we use for all our drinking and most cooking but it doesn't filter it either. There are a few manufactuers
who have filters on the market that do filter fluoride, along with a host of other harmful chemicals in the water. To see a
list of those filters, click here.
Since it's also absorbed through the skin while bathing or by wearing clothes that have been washed in fluoridated water it's
nearly impossible to keep this poison out of your body even if you do manage to not ingest any. However, any little bit helps
and buying a filter, and be careful of the kinds of toothpaste you buy will be better than doing nothing at all. Here
is an interesting website that goes into detail about the correlation between fluoride and cancer and also mention some other
common, yet toxic, ingredients as well.
Esther is one strange kitten. Now she's decided that she likes fruit roll-ups. Of course, she also
likes mint chocolate chip ice cream (just the mint part), yogurt, and peanut butter. Sammy, on the other hand, turns her nose
up at everything that doesn't have the word "Cat" on the label. Matt says Esther will grow out of her unusual eating habits
when she gets a bit older. Right now she's only about eight or nine months old and still in that nibbling kitten stage.
