"Secret Ingredient" in Orange Juice

The main problem with all foods is the pesticide residue they contain. Recently, some orange juice makers had their juices rejected by government watchdogs (imagine that--they were actually doing their jobs!) because of unacceptably high levels of fungicides---which are known carcinogens. Cancer used to be a disease of the fifth decade or later. Now, we have a lot of women getting breast cancer in their twenties and thirties and because they are so young, the cancer is particularly aggressive and lethal. Twenty or thirty years of exposing their bodies to carcinogens in food and our environment are the likely cause. Our ancestors rarely got cancer because they ate pure food and lived in a pure environment and because their immune systems were particularly strong (in the past, a large number of children died of infection of one sort or another---they didn't live long enough to get cancer).

A couple that we knew BOTH got bowel cancer last year. The wife has already died and the husband only has a couple of weeks to live. They were both 64 when they got the diagnoses. Their parents lived into their eighties. In fact, both of the husband's parents are still living--both are 87. The husband's brother is also dying of a rare defect of the immune system. All the chemicals in our environment and food have made forming a normal immune system impossible. Our children need to be protected from the onslaught of those chemicals as their bodies form.

i thought this post would be about vodka

if you let OJ go a month past its experation date it tastes like vodka

If you let it go even longer, it takes on a greenish tint and practically carbonates itself. It feels like that same bubbly popping sensation, anyway.
