Greetings!
Here is our Second Issue. We hope you enjoy it.
Water
Many people today avoid tap water and for good reasons. Chlorine is used to kill bacteria in municipal water systems. Chlorine is a an oxidizing agent which destroys Vitamin E. Since Vitamin E is what protects us against the carcinogenic (cancer-causing) effect of free radicals, this is a very important matter. Chemicals from industrial plants (e.g., benzene, PVC, PCB, asbestos, etc.), urea, and nitrates from chemical fertilizers pollute our water. Some of these chemicals combine with the chlorine used by the water treatment plants to form carcinogenic substances such as chloroform and carbon tetra-chloride. There are significant health reasons to avoid chlorine.

Some researchers have found a statistical relationship between heavy milk consumption and ischaemic heart disease (including angina). Though I do not take this too seriously, as statistics can prove almost anything, it is interesting to note. It is not clear from the studies what component of milk is causing the problems: lactose intolerance, protein allergy, fat content, or what?
