Aluminum cooking products...How are they for your health???

A leading Indian scientific authority warns that the use of aluminum cookware may contribute significantly to the development of Alzheimer's disease and other nervous disorders.

The National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), which is part of the Indian Council of Medical Research, has concluded that the intake of aluminum compounds from many sources is on the rise and producing detrimental effects on human health. Aluminum cookware is especially dangerous when used to prepare acid foods such as tomatoes, which causes the metal to be leached out.

Besides Alzheimer's, toxic levels of aluminum has also been associated with Parkinson's disease, various dementia's and bone diseases. NIN doctors expressed special concern for the elderly whose ability to remove these toxins is reduced. The NIN experts noted that human exposure to aluminum is also on the increase from the water supply.

Besides naturally occurring aluminum, other aluminum compounds are added as part of the water treatment process. Also, aluminum is present in many popular OTC and prescription medicines such as antacids, antiperspirants, pain-killers and anti-diarrhea medicines.

Besides cookware, aluminum is increasingly being used in food packaging, especially ready-to-cook foods. Additionally, there are many aluminum-containing food additives in use as buffers, neutralizing agents, dough strengtheners and emulsifying agents.

How safe are you while you cook????

Is pyrex good or bad???? You decide.....

Food seems to go hand in hand with the holiday season, but some cooks using recently purchased glass Pyrex baking dishes have reported nasty surprises.

The dishes mostly the 13-by-9-inch baking dish have shattered unexpectedly.I looked this up on the Internet, and it appears quite common. In fact, no heat or cold seems to be necessary for Pyrex to explode. One person merely removed the Pyrex dish from the cabinet and it exploded in her hand. Another person had one explode brand new - upon removing it from the box. There are dozens and dozens of incidents at consumeraffairs.com and complaints.com.

Pyrex was developed as a tempered glass product by Corning Glass Works in 1924. Known as a "borosilicate" glass, it contains boron as well as the glass makers usual mix of sand, soda and lime. The boron makes the glass less likely to expand during changes in temperature. When it does break, scientists say it should crack into large pieces rather than shatter.
Over the years, Pyrex cookware has become a fixture in the kitchen. Many cooks say the Pyrex pie plate is the standard pie dish. Pyrex measuring cups are also widely used.
So why the problems?

Scientists accustomed to using Pyrex test tubes and beakers in the laboratory say the glass can weaken with age and use. If small cracks develop over time, it can make the glass expand and contract in temperature extremes. But in the case of some consumers writing to ConsumerAffairs.com, the dishes were new, or at least fairly new.
Corning spun off its kitchenware's division in the 1990s, so Pyrex is now owned by World Kitchen, which also owns CorningWare. World Kitchen provides a two-year guarantee on its Pyrex products.
"World Kitchen, Inc. promises to replace any Pyrex brand glass item that breaks from oven heat within two years from date of purchase," the company says on its Website.

However, there are certain conditions. World Kitchens advises consumers to never use Pyrex products on stove tops, under a broiler, or in a toaster oven. Consumers are also told to avoid "severe" hot to cold temperature changes. Cooks, who in the past found that Pyrex was durable enough to allow some latitude from those conditions, are apparently finding that now, any deviation is risky business.

So how safe are you when you use Pyrex baking ware?????

how many pets do you have???

Now adays with the economy collapsing people are going down to the bare minimums... Theyre spending less on the extra things in life, and theyre going out less.... Lets face it jobs are rare and most of the jobs out there are cutting back....

So you might be asking why am i asking about pets, right????

Well with everyones money being short people are starting to give away the pets that they have.... The Will County Humane Society has 30 dogs and 60 cats..... They are trying to find homes for all of these wonderful animals, and because of the hard times all they are doing is receiving more.... I just adopted a dog she filled a blank space with my other dog who now has a girlfriend, and shes a great add to the family..... Now i dont really have the extra money but when i saw her i feel in love with her as well as so did my dog.......

So for those of you who are reading this, if you happen to have some extra cash and feel that you could help out the Humane Society they would really appriciate it...

Are you really safe in church???

Some families are dedicated to their church... They go to every service, all the fundraisers and the over night events.... But do you honestly know your priest and fellow church goers that well???? Have you meet their family, have you been to their home???

Priests have been torturing kids for centuries and they've been able to get away with it.. All they have to do is move to another church.. There never heard of again, they just kinda fade away..... Finally the courts are giving them consequences.... A 78-year-old former priest was convicted on federal charges of taking a minor boy on religious retreats to have sex with him....

So have you ever thought about your priest or pastor????? Do you know them as well as you think???

voting time is coming.....

Now we all know that everyone is encouraged to vote.... But did you know that even illegal immigrants can vote???? Now mind you they dont pay any taxes, but they get to decide where the money from our taxes go...... They get to pick our president, but theyre not a true citizen....

Whats the point in us voting if the count is wrong because people who are illegal are voting for us.....According to the law all they need to do is get a voter I.D. and they are all set. Now there is no requirement to prove citizenship so anyone can virtually vote. Why do we even bother to have voting registration, or laws? What good is an I.D. proof and just what does this mean to our nation? Well if your not concerned about this then what can anyone say?

We understand the automated machines don't work correctly and can be manipulated. Even the software used comes from offshore. That leaves us with the scary thought of just who really elects whom we call "our" representatives? Can an election be won by a candidate who gets a majority of non citizen illegal votes while not enough votes from actual legal citizens?

Does this situation ask the question can we really trust any election? Well the facts are that the majority of Americans don't vote at all! Most Americans have grown tired of what they perceive is no choice at all.

Can you tell me how wrong this is?????
