WTF is an "organic" banana? I mean, you peal the skin off, so no contaminants, right? yet they charge 50% more for the label.

there is a big difference between the organic label, and growing food naturally, as "god" intended. organic food is still shipped all around the globe, stored in large containers, exposed to vermin and insects. If you were to instead buy from local growers that grow naturally from small family farms, you are way ahead of the organic label game.

Second, it is impossible to remove oneself from our toxic environment.

However, steps can be made to minimize some of the impact.

So, yes, we have a good water filter we drink from the house, instead of bottled water.

I eat whole, unprocessed foods for the most part, although sometimes I slip.

I try to only drink water, although sometimes i'll drink other things.

I detoxify for six months every two years with NAC. This eliminates much of the heavy metal accumulation in my body.

I don't smoke tobacco, nor anything else for the most part

I take a variety of meds to promote a healthy aging process, such as chol and BP.

I take resveratrol regularly for about ten years now

I am on hormone replacement therapy



My point is, you can attempt to retake some control of your life, or you can shrug your shoulders and say "no one gets out alive" and just leave it at that
Roman, I understand the points you have made. What I mean by the no one gets out alive thing is that you can worry about every little detail about your health, and probably be unhealthier for it due to the added stress, or live your life in a healthy way and enjoy it. From the looks of it you don't stress about it, you just prefer to do things to maintain that health, which I am in fact a huge proponent of. Be in control of your life, because it's yours. But don't let little details cause you to forget to live it.
