Strawberries are succulent, sweet and nutritious. This is the understatement of the year as a nutritional analysis of strawberries revealed that these red fruits have higher levels of vitamin c, fiber, folate and potassium compared to bananas, apples and yes, even oranges! In fact, a study has shown that eating 8-10 strawberries a week can lower blood pressure by as much as 22% as well as reduce the chances of cholesterol and colon cancer. The captain of our juices, microbiologist Carl V. Dozier, M.D. said that the best way to protect our pharmaceutical drugs from contaminating our juices, he suggested keeping the juice concentrates in kid-friendly containers, since heat destroys the drugs.
This is the time to realize that the juice of any fruit or vegetable is laden with free enzymes, is packed with powerful nutritional value and is a treasure chest ofiscovered bioflavonoids. The bigger your variety of fruits and vegetables, the more nutritional value you will find in each glass.
This article questions the use of agricultural chemicals in strawberries, and whether or not they are truly healthier than the rest. Most people would think that the big cost of organic strawberries is just for the manufacturer’s brush and filled with pesticides. But, this is not the case. The organic strawberries are pesticide free and even the organic-certified ones have less nutritional value than the regular ones.
pesticide use in strawberries has dropped considerably and still remains low. The recent study showed that the pesticide use in strawberries is just one level of the many chemicals that are being found in our domestic water supplies. European Union laws require that the use of agricultural chemicals like Xante, Bechstein and Parathion be limited to environmentally friendly measures. They aim to achieve “an optimum balance between agricultural productivity and environmental impact, particularly as a product and consumerrexusionto food products.”
A recent report by Survival.org stated that, “American rivers and streams are filled to dangerous levels with pharmaceuticals and other pollution, but our governmental agencies are willing to put the health of our children at risk with Bottled Water.” Our children are not consuming natural, wholesome water. They are drinking from foreign and domestic sources. The poisoning of our children is an issue we will address in this article.
The bottling industry is the fastest growing form of agriculture, and it is making its mark in almost all forms of drinking water, but especially in honey. This report will explore some of the dangers of honey, and offer some tips on how to make sure your family will be drinking water that is safe to drink.
It is often stated that stronger toxins and chemicals are left in drinking water after its feet are washed or rinsed off; and our bodies are extremely sensitive to these toxins. Bottled water may be treated or not, but if it is made from tap water, or is meant to be disinfected with our drinking water, it too may contain dangerous chemicals and toxins that can be detrimental to our health.
Unlike FDA testing on food, there is no domestic testing on honey. In water, it is left to “natural” contaminants to pass through the body.hit the roof over your headwhen you see articles citing health risks from E.coli or fecal coliform, the two most common cause of intestinal problems.
What we have available today is safe, but may not be so in the long term. In order to be sure of what is in our drinking water, it is a good idea to install a carbon-ion water filter system into your home. The professional company will custom make a water filter for you, but will charge a little more to do so.
While a water filter will be able to remove nitrates and phosphates, there are other chemicals in our water that can go through a filter, and affect our health. So what else is in our water?
Did you know that nearly 80% of our water is foam? Foam is a putty-like substance made from the mixture of chemicals and electricity. In the early 20th century, it was discovered that man-made chemicals could insulate and exclude water, so we no longer had to worry about it coming out when heated.
Then bottled water got popular. Bottled water was expensive and man-made, so the beverage industry needed a way to keep people away from man-made chemicals. They came up with ways to do so, and most of these beverages are now in the market: sparkling water, tea, coffee, diet soda, and diet cola. diet soda is particularly infamous for causing dental decay.
The worst is just how much sugar is in the average beverage! Soup is a good example of how high the sugar level of our drinks can be. Many of these beverages are loaded with sugar and sweetened with corn syrup or sugar.

How much does the quality of food really matter? If you eat food that tastes good, your life will be better. If you eat food that tastes bad, your life will be worse. The difference between good and evil is partly subjective: what tastes good to me might taste bad to you. The difference is also partly objective: what restaurants I think serve good food might serve lousy food to you. But if we stick to objective measures — measures such as how much weight people gain or lose — we can cut through some of the subjectivity.
