There are things in this life that common knowledge will not tell us.
There are things, which we take for granted each and every day and there are
things that we just might not know about and are extremely interesting... Did you know?
- Americans now eat an amazing 152 pounds of various sugars and sweeteners every year.
- There is approximately 1 gram of mercury in a typical fever thermometer. This is enough to contaminate an entire lake with the surface area of approximately 20 acres to the degree that fish would be unsafe to eat...imagine the mercury in your mouth right now from "silver" amalgam fillings? (Note: the average amalgam filling contains more than 1/2 gram of mercury)
- There are many viable alternatives to pesticide use in your home. Killing spiders and ants with spray pesticides only mask the infestation and poison your home for longer than you might think. Even if the pesticide eventually washes away with rain and yard work, the environmental impact can be heavy.
- Some of the ingredients in childhood vaccines are: thimerosal (mercury disinfectant/preservative), aluminum (additive to promote antibody response), formaldehyde (disinfectant), ethylene glycol (antifreeze) phenol (disinfectant, dye) benzethonium chloride (antiseptic) and methylparaben (antifungal, preservative). (Note: thimerasol has been removed from "most" vaccines in recent years over increase in parent concern, however, thimerasol has been said to still be in vaccines as, "detectable but not measurable amounts.")
- Women with inverted nipples can, in fact, still breastfeed their children.
