Fluoride, BPA & Pollution

I just found a new site, from an article I read on safbaby.com - this new site is www.ewg.org. Standing for Environmental Working Group. Awesome site. Check it out.

Here is an interesting article, regarding fluoride in your dogs' food.

Some of you may know that I have stopped giving my kids fluoride (it was in their pediatrician prescribed multivitamins), because I had heard it was linked to autism. It seems topically applied on the teeth - good. Ingested - Cancer causing. Fluoride is in most states tap water. Thank heavens, last I checked, it is not in Utah's water. But, now I live in California. So now I buy my drinking water. (Another project - bottled water, is it really any good? What about all that plastic it comes in?) Can't wait to get a filtration system!! As well as fluoride, apparently this area is one of the most polluted areas in the country. Almost every single person who lives here in Fresno Valley for all of their life will develop asthma, due to the extremely poor air quality. Hmmmm....and it's also know as the bread basket of the world? Shows how much chemicals, pesticides, etc are used on growing food.
Buy Organic, people!

Also, please check out the new info on BPA in plastics, especially baby bottles.
