"Dear Ian,
I just read a few articles in your health blog spot. First the info on asparagus, great stuff. But then I read just above that canned goods contain Bisphenol A, a toxic chemical in the lining in cans and bottle lids. The guy who talks up the asparagus cure is saying that canned asparagus is o.k. to use. That is a bit contradicting to the 'don't use cans' article."
Yes, Eva, we live in fast moving times. Who would have thought that we would ever have the need to put all of our fruit and vegetables through a sterilizer before we eat them? But that's exactly what Cassie and I do here in beautiful 'organic' Byron Bay, learning in the process the tricks producers play to get their fruit or vegetable off their paddock and into our homes. Take strawberries; our Lotus Sanitizer takes far longer to cleanse strawberries late in their growing season. Why? Because (as an ex-strawberry grower) I know that pests tend to get worse in strawberries the longer the strawberries are fruiting, so growers use more pesticides miticides and fungicides later in the season. Grapes imported from the US give the Lotus such a hard time that I have given up. I will never buy another imported grape! Yes, Eve, it's difficult and I understand why people write things today that may be unacceptable tomorrow as our knowledge of toxins in our food chain expands."
"Also in the alkaline water article it says that tap water is good because of Fluoride being good for your teeth. Calcium fluoride is what one needs for good teeth, not Sodium Fluoride. I have read nothing good about Sodium Fluoride. It's also outlawed in Europe and causes Kidney Disease amongst other things.
Regards, Eva"
Eva, the evidence is clear that some form of fluoride helps the problems kids have with their teeth. However the 'side effects' are many and support your claim that fluoride, in balance, is a terrible decision.
