I am nearing the midway point of the book. I have been sooooo busy, and it is easy to post here and do a million things, but not so easy to read and do a million things.

ENOUGH EXCUSES! I need to finish the book, right?

Coffee will have to wait until I buy that commune property with my brother and build a greenhouse of recycled windows or something

Late to the party, but I'm on a similar project myself. But I'm not very militant about it, so I'm still eating out/eating fast food occasionally. But at home it's all CSA/local/organic.

I'm pretty sure it has been proven!

I grew up on well water. My dentist regularly reminds me if not having gotten flouride at school, I'd be in even worse shape. :\\

Today there is a great deal of scientific agreement that ingested fluoride does not reduce tooth decay. The largest study of tooth decay in America, by the U.S. National Institute of Dental Research in 1986-1987, showed that there was no significant difference in the decay rates of 39,207 fluoridated, partially fluoridated, and non-fluoridated children, ages 5 to 17, surveyed in the 84-city study. The study cost the U.S. taxpayers $3,670,000, yet very few Americans are aware the study was ever performed. (See 1-5: "New studies cast doubt on fluoridation benefits." Bette Hileman, Chemical & Engineering News, Vol. 67, No. 19, May 8, 1989).

The EPA scientists recently concluded, after reviewing all the evidence, that the public water supply should not be used "as a vehicle for disseminating this toxic and prophylactically useless ... substance." They called for "an immediate halt to the use of the nation's drinking water reservoirs as disposal sites for the toxic waste of the phosphate fertilizer industry." The management of the EPA sides not with their own scientists, but with industry on this issue. (See 1-6: "Why EPA's Headquarters Union of Scientists Opposes Fluoridation", Chapter 280 Vice-President, J. William Hirzy, May 1, 1999).

Think again....

Okay, I googled the subject. On the first page, there were scientific studies showing flouride did not prevent tooth decay alongside those which showed it did prevent tooth decay. So, it's untrue to say no study has shown it. But it's true to say the point is at least disputable.
 
coffeegirl, I want your recipe!!! That looks fabulous!!


Great pic's to!! They look like they should be in a Martha Stewart Magazine.

Aw thanks you all!

Update: I went out to a farm to visit our puppy that we've been waiting 3 months for (he'll be with us in 2 weeks), and as I was leaving I asked the woman (who is a friend) if that was rhubarb out in her garden. She said yes and asked if I wanted some-she'd just picked some yesterday and was kicking herself for not having the time to process it. I took it off her hands, and made strawberry rhubarb jam all day!
