What else should we avoid?

[subhuman]

I'm not very clued up with regard to this subject. I know about aspartame and avoid it whenever possible but can you tell me the other nasty shit we should be avoiding?

[asevaaamas]

Cigarettes & Alcohol imo

[freegionnaire]

Believing what you are told, drinking unclean water, eating empty calories and not exercising.

[starstuff]

Fluoride, hydrogenated fats, glucose-fructose syrup (aka high fructose corn syrup). Can't think of any other big nasties off the top of my head, but those four things are hard enough to avoid if you don't buy raw/fresh food as it is, without adding all the other toxic garbage in processed food to the list!

[glacidtek]

just eat as naturaly fresh food as possible.... tey not to worry about it eaither, or it will consume your life.

Flouride, Chlorine and Bromine. It's everywhere and in a lot of foodstuffs. Bromine is often sprayed on strawberries. Chlorine and Flouride in your drinking water.

Basically anything anything you buy in a supermarket should be avoided.

Learn to read labels.

Try to avoid anything with msg's, aspartame, colourants, preservatives, and refined carbohydrates.

IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

What you could do is look for better alternatives such as real sugar instead of aspartame or corn syrup. Whole wheat instead of refined bread or pasta. Make your own juices from organic fruits etc.

What most people forget is the soaps, shampoos, creams etc., that we so liberally use is just as loaded on toxins.

Here is a good link to cosmetics:

I have noticed that some table salt is loaded with flouride and really should be avoided, go for sea salt.
some products are also loaded with hormones and I dont really think they belong in food a t all.
Read your packaging and become a more informed consumer, place of origin is also a key factor if you wish to raise your awareness, some ppl disagree with lots of things in the world but by still support the ideals by purchasing goods that help to perpetuate certain agendas.

Trans-fats should be avoided too, and I would advise on ice cream that is not made of vegetable fats.
I forgot to mention margarine too, thats a big nono for me. If anything I buy butter or do without.

Dont smoke or drink alcohol.

Drink only water.

Eat raw food and make green smoothies.

If you are single, dont masturbate, ever. Conserve your sexual energy.

Excersise, meditate.

drink your own urine.

Don't think I can get round that 'urine therapy' just yet.

Never say never..:D.... I know its supposed to be good.

Good luck for anyone brave enough to try:D
