Radon is a natural radioactive element that is found in the soil and rocky areas of the world. It is in higher concentrations at certain places. Radon has become such a serious problem that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has given special attention to it. It is normally found in high concentrations at coal mines. However, it has also been found in high concentrations underneath homes, in basements, and rooms of houses, appearing in some rooms and not in others. Not only is radon found in the soil, in the atmosphere, and on top of mountains, but it has been found in large quantities in drinking water from wells and springs and is also found in hot springs. Believe it or not, Tap water is less likely to contain radon than spring-bottled water. So, we maybe ditching the Tap water for some radon infected spring-bottled water instead. In today's world, picking the most appropriate poison when it comes to drinking water is the best remedy for survival because Tap water too has its short comings with high levels of contaminants.

You would think that a diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables should make you healthier, not less healthy, so what exactly is going on?In the light of extraordinary new research it is becoming apparent that most vegetarians are in fact less healthy than their non-vegetarian peers. By "peers" I mean people of a similar socio-economic and cultural background. Any valid comparison between vegetarians and non-vegetarians must compare apples with apples. For example, any study that compared an affluent health-conscious vegetarian from California with an impoverished meat eater from the slums of Calcutta is not likely to be meaningful.The scientific studies that are now coming to light are clearly showing that compared to their non-vegetarians peers, vegetarians are more at risk of cancer, eating disorders, heart disease, infertility, obesity, and mental disease.Several studies have compared health-conscious vegetarians with health-conscious non-vegetarians from the same demographic (the same...more
