Toothpaste, Water and Fluoride
Have you ever heard " Don't swallow your toothpaste"?
How about "Fluoride at the dentist office and in your tap water is good for you"?
Do yourself a favor, take a look at your tube of toothpaste. Find out what the active ingredient is and then continue to read the rest of the label.
It probably says something along the lines of " If swallowed contact the local poison control center."
One of the next questions I had and many other health professionals ask is: Why does toothpaste carry a warning but fluoridated water does not?
The truth is fluoride is NOT an essential nutrient. The fluoride added to your drinking water and in toothpaste is in fact a chemical toxin!
Now do yourself a second favor, watch this 5 minute video on Mercola.com and make the decision for yourself.
If you would like more information take a look at this website or just perform a google search.

Vitamin D: The Amazing Vitamin
Over the past few years I've been reading countless articles about the benefits of getting vitamin D and the diseases associated with deficiencies.
There have been a number of misconceptions regarding sunlight, vitamin D, cancer, and a many other health concerns that researchers have been studying. What is even more exciting is the health benefits that are happening but currently aren't being studied. For a great overview about the amazing vitamin D read this USA Today article.
Here are a few highlights:
"vitamin D increasingly seems important for preventing and even treating many types of cancer. In the last three months alone, four separate studies found it helped protect against lymphoma and cancers of the prostate, lung and, ironically, the skin. The strongest evidence is for colon cancer."
"I would challenge anyone to find an area or nutrient or any factor that has such consistent anti-cancer benefits as vitamin D," Giovannucci told the cancer scientists. "The data are really quite remarkable."
"American Cancer Society's chief epidemiologist, Dr. Michael said "There is now intriguing evidence that vitamin D may have a role in the prevention as well as treatment of certain cancers"
"Supplements contain the nutrient, but most use an old form — D-2 — that is far less potent than the more desirable D-3. Multivitamins typically contain only small amounts of D-2 and include vitamin A, which offsets many of D's benefits."
Make sure you read the full article, there are a ton of great facts. Read it here!
