Water intoxication

Just discovered yesterday that too much water can be bad for you.Apparently there exists something called water intoxication.A woman in California died of it in a competion organised by a Radio Station and guess what the prize was a Wii.The 28 year old woman entered the competition to win it for her three children.Makes you wonder what people are ready to die for and also just how careless and irresponsible the corporate world can be.

Media reports indicate that a nurse called the station to warn them of the danger sof the competion but her warnings were not aired and the announcers even joked that afterall the candidates had "signed waivers so if anything happened it would be okay"

What to eat

E.coli contaminated salad, carrot juice, recalled chocolate, sea food contains unsafe mercury levels, your municipal supplied water supposedly safe to drink is the same as the one you use to flush your toilet so you need to filter it to make it safe to drink,overcooking food is bad for you, processed foods contain too much sugar, salt and sulphites than is good for you. Does anyone apart from me feel that we are running short and fast of what we can eat and not feel guilty? Are we then to go back to the lifestyle of when our ancestors lived in caves and fire had not been discovered? And Louis Pasteur had not introduced pasteurisation?
