Watering the Chickens

In a science news report I came across this weekend,
researchers in Taiwan examined eggs from "free range"
chickens and eggs from conventional sources.

Regrettably, they found that the free range eggs
had significantly higher amounts of dioxins, a nerve
damaging group of poisons typically derived from
industrial and vehicle exhaust. So just getting outside
for a walk in the sun exposed the chickens to enough
poison to make their eggs a riskier meal. What do
you think might be the implications for the water
supply in that area?

Obviously, we can not protect ourselves from every
source of every toxin. Take fish oil as an example.
Two months ago a lawsuit was filed against RiteAid,
NatureMade and CVS because 10 out of 10 fish oil
supplements tested had some level of PCBs, a once-
common component of plastics. Congress banned
PCBs in 1979, but here they are showing up in a
health supplement, 31 years later!

One thing we should do is to drink the best water
available, and that means distilled water when possible.
Water is the transport medium for getting nutrients into
our cells, and getting waste materials out, so it only
makes sense to start out as clean as possible.

The chickens and the fish don't have a choice.
