FOUR CLEAN-UPS
baked in aluminum pans. Choose goods made with baking soda
and sold in paper or microwavable pans. Don't run your drinking
water through the freezer or fountain or refrigerator. Don't heat
your water in a coffee maker or tea kettle. Don't use a plastic
thermos jug (the plastic liner has lanthanides) the inside must be
glass. Don't drink from a personal water bottle (it begins to breed
bacteria) unless you sterilize it daily.
Why are we still using stainless steel cookware when it
contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel? Because it is rustproof
and shiny and we can't see any deterioration. But all metal
seeps! Throw those metal pots away. Get your essential minerals
from foods, not cookware.
Never, never drink or cook with the water from your hot
water faucet. If you have an electric hot water heater the heating
element releases metal. Even if you have a gas hot water heater,
the heated water leaches metals or glues from your pipes. If your
kitchen tap is the single lever type, make sure it is fully on cold
for cooking. Teach children this rule.
Food Guidelines.......................................................................
It is impossible to remember everything about every food, but
in general do not buy foods that are highly processed. Here are a
few foods; see if you can guess whether they should be in your
diet or not.
breads Yes, but only from a bakery, and never
wrapped in plastic.
toast No. It has benzopyrene and tungsten. Yes,
if made on a cookie sheet or in a frying
pan.
cheese Yes, if used in baked dishes.
chicken Only if cooked for 20 minutes at boiling
point, as in soup, or canned (never pre-
pare raw chicken yourself).
wine with dinner No.
