Does pouring plain old tap water into fancy bottles make it taste better?  Yes.  At least in it did in a Penn & Teller episode on bottled water (please watch this video- very entertaining).  Penn & Teller went inside a southern California restaurant that featured a water sommelier that dispensed extravagant water menus to the patrons. The patrons had no idea that all of the fancy bottles of water were filled with the same water from a water hose in the back of the restaurant. Patrons were willing to pay $7.00 a bottle for L’eau Du Robinet (French for faucet water), Agua de Culo (Spanish for ass water), and Amazone (filtered through the Brazilian rainforest’s natural filtration system). How do cues pri...

All beverages except the ones containing alcohol, that is. Why is that? Maybe it’s because alcoholic beverages contain little to no protein, sodium, cholesterol, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, calcium and iron (remember that alcohol is metabolized as a fat, not a carbohydrate) — so why bother? Then again, alcohol does contain calories — a lot of them. Would people drink less if they knew how many calories they were consuming? Would they drink less if they knew how many “servings” of alcohol were contained in the bottle they just purchased? Maybe it’s because of the cost of performing nutritional analyses on each vintage of wine,...

Are plastic containers toxic? Do harmful chemicals leach out into its contents? Do we need to discard all plastic containers? Recently, I interacted in a live health chat on MedHelp about the safety of plastics. Scientist, Joe Schwarcz, Ph.D., Director of McGill University’s Office for Science and Society, talked about “The Real Truth About Plastics: What You Should And Shouldn’t Worry About.” While Dr. Schwarcz states that some plastics like those made by Tupperware and Rubbermaid are safe to use, there are other plastics made of Bisphenol A (BPA) that may cause some concern, however he did not become alarmed. There is extensive information on the safety of plastics, and reading some of...

A growing number of celebrities and websites have been fueling a plastic paranoia, striking fear in the hearts of parents, fitness buffs, and microwave container users. Concerns reached such a fever pitch that I wondered if there may be something to this buzz: Can certain plastics harm our bodies or even cause cancer? But like the buzz surrounding vaccines and autism (there is NO link between the two), plastiphobia (as I like to call it) is not backed by any clear evidence of human harm. Chemist, Dr. Joe Schwarcz of McGill University (who has no financial ties to plastics manufacturers, by the way) has reviewed the scientific literature and has found plastics to be an extremely unlikely candidate for human injury.

I have carried out my own blind taste tests, and my results have shown that there is no difference in taste. Interestingly, however, the results are different in non-blind taste tests. When blind tests are conducted, the taste buds really don’t seem to think that bottled water tastes better than tap water. In 2001, ABC’s Good Morning America conducted a blind water taste test. The viewers’ preferences were as follows: 12 percent Evian 19 percent O-2 24 percent Poland Spring 45 percent New York City tap water Yorkshire Water, the water department in Yorkshire, England, found that 60 percent of 2,800 people surveyed could not tell the difference between the local tap...

But it’s durable, bright blue, and BPA-free. Of course, I also like that I’m not sentencing tons of plastic water bottles to life in a landfill prison. But the one thing about my bottle I’m not crazy about is how difficult it is to clean. I can only hope I’m keeping my bottle hygienic as I blindly shove a scrub brush down its narrow mouth. My problem is now solved, with the Alex. It’s a sleek, BPA-free stainless steel bottle that separates in the middle for easy cleaning. It even has a strap made of recycled water bottles, which is kind of crazy, when you think about it. It’s also pretty.

This giveaway is for you.     We all know that drinking water is healthy. Study after study has told us so. Unfortunately, this lead to a multi-million dollar bottle water industry which neither good for the environment nor your wallet, as this video shows…. Did you know that more than 99.9 percent of Americans live in homes where unlimited amounts of fresh, treated water is available? Tapping into this, Eric Yaverbaum and Mark DiMassimo launched the national Tappening ad campaign to re-brand tap water as safe, affordable, and ever so good for the environment. They created thought provoking ads to encourage people to stop buying bottled water and start getting their water straight from the tap. And along the way, they started produced and ...

BPA is short for bisphenol A, an organic compound found in a vast number of plastic products, including baby bottles, dental sealants, and dental composites. BPA acts similarly to estrogen and may provoke chronic toxicity in humans. Because of new research, BPA has become a point of controversy and concern. According to TheWealthyDentist.com survey, a significant number of dentists are concerned about the negative publicity – and rightfully so, as it comes on the heels of the toxic Chinese dental work reports. What’s Up with BPA Research BPA research has been conducted since the 1930s, so concern is nothing new. In a 2007 research report, available... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1469562 Tue, 27 May 2008 14:30:08 +0100 1469562 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1449388&cid=t_177710_133_f&fid=35096&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAutismVox%2F%7E3%2F291972878%2F Bathe your pet in flea shampoo while you’re pregnant and you are twice as likely to have an autistic child, according to new research to be presented today at the International Meeting For Autism Research in London (scroll down on this link, past the report on how baby bottle chemicals can sentence a child to a life of obesity). No pets in our house (Charlie is much more easy-going around dogs these days, but still wary). But what about the therapy dogs?

The author began using this concept in a prior book called The Little Red Book and it got so popular that the concept was expanded into its own book. The Stool The author begins the book by talking about the “seat” of the stool. The seat, by itself, is “as useless, incomplete, and undependable as the shaky alcoholic it upholds”. For the seat to function, it needs three legs to uphold it, just like the alcoholic needs the first three steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) for support. The author says that the three legs represent the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of reco...

It is so darn easy to use and I feel like it is much more accurate at this point. I think that is due to the fact that the old glucometer was years aged and needed to be put to rest. Have any of y’all out there had that issue? Have you felt like your glucometer after some time lost accuracy? Maybe it was just me but either way I am all smiles thus far. My Saturday complete with numbers… Awoke… 96, yeah ha! I did not eat breakfast or drink anything till mid day due to still not feeling that hot this morning, I guess it wasn’t tiredness and was a bug or something. Midday Lunch…Before eating 99.

Do you feel like your medications and treatments are an enormous burden? If your answers are yes… and yes, then you are not alone. A group of researchers conducted face to face interviews with over 700 type 2 diabetics and found that they equate their diabetes with kidney disease and angina. Many diabetics say the burden of constant therapeutic vigilance and daily insulin injections have as much impact on their lives as complications. And over 10% of the patients polled were willing to give up 8-10 years of their lives to live without these everyday burdens. Wow! How do you feel about this? Would you be willing to give up the final decade of your life to live without prescription bottles and ...
