Button batteries found in many household electronic devices pose a considerable risk for young children, according to a new campaign by Energizer, Kidsafe and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
The Battery Controlled campaign is calling on parents to keep coin-sized batteries out of reach of children, get help fast if swallowed and to spread the word about the danger.
Bake Your Own – It's Safer and Healthier
Are you still eating commercial baked goods in the USA? It turns out U.S. flour is often laced with cancer-causing potassium bromate, a dangerous chemical that has been banned in many other countries around the world, including China!

Iceland Subverts Banker Suppression
Something I found interesting from Facebook. This is a copy so please excuse the incorrect grammar.
No news from Iceland, why? How come we hear everything that happens in Egypt but no news about what’s happening in Iceland:
In Iceland, the people has made the government resign, the primary banks have been nationalized, it was decided to not pay the debt that these created with Great Britain and Holland due to their bad financial politics and a public assembly has been created to rewrite the constitution. And all of this in a peaceful way.
A whole revolution against the powers that have created the current crisis. This is why there hasn’t been any publicity during the last two years: What would happen if the rest of the EU citizens took this as an example? What would happen if the US citizens took this as an example.
This is a summary of the facts:
2008. The main bank of the country is nationalized. The Krona, the currency of Iceland devaluates and the stock market stops. The country is in bankruptcy
2008. The citizens protest in front of parliament and manage to get new elections that make the resignation of the prime minister and his whole government. The country is in bad economic situation. A law proposes paying back the debt to Great Britain and Holland through the payment of 3,500 million euros, which will be paid by the people of Iceland monthly during the next 15 years, with a 5.5% interest.
2010. The people go out in the streets and demand a referendum. In January 2010 the president denies the approval and announces a popular meeting.
In March the referendum and the denial of payment is voted in by 93%. Meanwhile the government has initiated an investigation to bring to justice those responsible for the crisis, and many high level executives and bankers are arrested. The Interpol dictates an order that make all the implicated parties leave the country.
In this crisis an assembly is elected to rewrite a new Constitution which can include the lessons learned from this, and which will substitute the current one (a copy of the Danish Constitution). 25 citizens are chosen, with no political affiliation, out of the 522 candidates. For candidacy all that was needed was to be an adult and have the support of 30 people. The constitutional assembly starts in February of 2011 to present the ‘carta magna’ from the recommendations given by the different assemblies happening throughout the country. It must be approved by the current Parliament and by the one constituted through the next legislative elections.
So in summary of the Icelandic revolution:
-resignation of the whole government
-nationalization of the bank.
-referendum so that the people can decide over the economic decisions.
-incarceration of the responsible parties.
-rewriting of the constitution by its people.
Have we been informed of this through the media? No!
Has any political program in radio or TV commented on this? No!
The Icelandic people have been able to show that there is a way to beat the system and has given a democracy lesson to the world.

Interesting Comparison Betweem Human and Plant "Blood"
Excellent diagram showing the life force fluids, “Blood” found in plants and humans is almost identical. The only difference being human blood is based on iron whereas plant blood is based on magnesium.
Pop A Pill Or Take A Walk?
Hmmm… …take a walk should be researched as an alternative. It has been used as a cure by Africans for generations.
Conversational Rebuttal to Attacks on CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicines)
The next time someone denigrates your use of vitamins, herbs, nutrition or other Complementary and Alternative Medicines as “unscientific”, “unsubstantiated” or “hocus pocus”, smile pleasantly and ask them, “Haven’t you hear the latest news? Scientific research is more money than health motivated and the majority of it is corrupt and unethical.”
“During a decade as head of global cancer research at Amgen, C. Glenn Begley identified 53 ‘landmark’ publications — papers in top journals, from reputable labs — for his team to reproduce. Begley sought to double-check the findings before trying to build on them for drug development. Result: 47 of the 53 could not be replicated. He described his findings in a commentary piece published on Wednesday in the journal Nature… …they and others fear the phenomenon is the product of a skewed system of incentives that has academics cutting corners to further their careers.”

Early exposure to BPA has the same bad effects as early mercury exposure
When testing the chemical found in many common plastics, researcher Daniel Weber noticed it had the same effects as mercury. Specifically, early exposure to the stuff caused problems both right after birth and later in life. “What was amazing is that exposure only happened at the embryonic stage,” says Weber, “but somehow the wiring in the brain had been permanently altered by it. Oh, by the way, BPA is found in a lot of common things like, baby formula and canned soup. Scary, eh? [University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee]
