City Officials: Tap Water Shows Elevated Lead Levels:

My Commentary: ALERT: The Department of Environmental Protection tells residents of New York City to run their cold water faucet for 30 seconds before cooking with it or drinking from it!

As  Dr. Rosen states in the above article:

“When it comes to lead, it’s always better to be safe than sorry because according to the U.S. CDC, according to the U.S. EPA, there really is no level of lead that’s safe in children.”

Also, take special note of the last paragraph of the article, which states:

“The potential for lead in the water increases in buildings and homes built before 1987, because lead solder was used to seal pipe joints. And for buildings put up before 1961, there’s an even greater concern — because the pipelines that brought water to those homes were made ENTIRELY OF LEAD.” (emphasis mine)

Interesting, eh? Humanity’s history has an uncanny way of repeating itself – especially when we fail to learn from the poor collective behaviors and habits of past generations:

USDA Organic Seal

USDA Organic Seal

Rayn: It’s Organic, but Does that Mean it’s Safer?
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/04/dining/04cert.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all

“Organic” foods are simply foods grown naturally, without the use of chemical pesticides, fertilizers or hormones. Refined food products that bear the seal, “USDA ORGANIC,” are still processed in plants, where health and safety conditions within factor into the overall quality of the final product. Buying whole foods that are washed and prepared in the home will significantly reduce the possibility of exposure to these types of bacterial and/or viral contaminates.

When buying eggs or milk, consider the treatment, diet and living conditions of livestock, as well. Go beyond the “organic” seal. Look for products that also say “cage-free” or “free-range,” and “vegetarian.”

Thomas Pr.: I wrote for sbu a paper GM foods should be labeled. 
The phylogeny of an accursed progeny. Is as I see it.

Rayn: Strange that you mention GM foods. I’ve been planning to post the link to an article about the dangers of the Monsanto company and their GM seeds. I believe that GMOs are another form of “genetic vandalism” against Nature.

Thomas Pr.: All tomatoes are GM. You want Burpee seeds for your window sill cherry tomato vines?
Its Monsanto, and don’t be surprised if you become addicted to them. There is old man nicotine in the roots (leaves).

Rayn: Damn! I didn’t know that! You learn something new every day! I bet Monsanto will claim that they genetically modify their tomatoes with nicotine because it is a natural pesticide. While this is true, I’d love to see the studies that show the longterm effects of this sort of abominable creation on the human body! Or, how about the ecosystem, once the wind kicks up and the natural crossbreeding begins?! Unlike this insanity, true good science is well-rounded, taking consideration of all factors, and making the necessary modifications required to achieve substancial positive advancement – without creating more problems! GMO is is psuedo-scientific corporatism at its worse since “eugenics”! Please take the time to post your “Phylogeny of an Accursed Progeny” paper in the “notes” section of your Facebook page, as I would definitely love to read it, as well as comment on it! The title alone draws my attention!

Rayn: 10 Dangerous Household Products You Should Never Use Again:
http://www.sustainlane.com/reviews/ten-products-you-should-ban-from-your-home-forever/YSDLWL22O1U2SBV7D13YUD3KXWOR

For years now, I have been warning my family and friends about the dangers of certain household products. From non-stick cookware, to plastic bottles, to antibacterial hand cleaners, to compact fluorescent bulbs, the list of everyday items that contain toxic chemicals is surisingly long, and the array of hazardous ingredients they harbor not only have the ability to make you very sick, but also poison the environment, as well!

Kenny C.: just clicked the link, and started reading about water bottles, meanwhile im drinking a bottle of water!
This sux!
It seems like I cant do anything right 🙁
I stop drinking tap water because of chlorine, flouride, and all the other poisons, and turns out that I am drinking another form of poison, but actually paying hard earned money for it!

Rayn: This is how some of these evil, soulless corporations and governments operate. With multi-faceted attacks using soft-kill weapons, they hope to clandestinely sicken most of the population, while keeping true investigators scratching their heads trying to figure out why everyone is getting sick. We the people are being indiscriminately force-“medicated” by our own government under the pretense of good hygeine. And, since there is no regulation whatsoever to this “medicating” of the public, those who drink more water, or use more, or stronger deodorants, are increasing the amount of “medication” they put into their body. This goes against the entire idea of even western medicine.

Did you know that, while fluoride is toxic, along with aluminum, these poisons are not nearly as bad for you as the effects of combining them together in your body? As a team, these toxins will leech the calcium right out of your teeth and bones, and slowly make you weak and sick. They will also settle together into your brain, contributing to Alzheimer’s disease. To put it another way, the fluoride in your drinking water is not fully toxically “activated” until you adminster your daily dose of aluminum-based “antiperspirant” deodorant under your arms (incidentally, this area contains the two largest lymph nodes in the body). Because of this, it is difficult to legally blame fluoride alone or aluminum alone for much of the sicknesses they cause together. And, the companies that make these poisons are happy to hide behind this legal gray area. FDA regulation put them under no obligation to do any studies to show how the chemicals in their products interact with chemicals in other products.

(SustainLane Staff) – You would never cross the street without looking both ways, walk alone down a dark alley alone at three AM, or tell your child to accept rides from strangers. So why let hazardous, toxic, and even carcinogenic chemicals into your home everyday?
