More than one in five private wells across the United States contains at least one contaminant that poses a threat to human health, according to a comprehensive study released Friday.
In New Jersey, some wells had contaminants such as arsenic, mercury, nitrates and volatile organic compounds that were found in levels the government does not consider safe for drinking.

Health experts talk about the benefits of eating fish and shellfish – they are good sources of protein, low in saturated fat, and contain omega 3 fats essential to the body. Eating fish and shellfish may help to lower risk for heart disease and is important for the growth and development of infants and children.

We all do a lot of things in the name of beauty, but would you pour laundry bleach on your face or smear arsenic (found in rat poison) on your body, in order to attain a lighter complexion?

Chelation therapy is a treatment that is used to treat heavy metal poisoning. It most often involves the injection of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) - also refered to as a 'synthetic amino acid' - that binds with (chelates) heavy metals, which include iron, lead, mercury, cadmium, and zinc. The term ‘chelation’ comes from the Greek word ‘chele’ which means claw, referring to the way the chemical grabs onto these metals. EDTA is a man-made amino acid, which has a particular affinity for toxic metals such as mercury, cadmium, aluminium and lead.

So pervasive are the chemicals in the food we eat, in the products we use to keep our bodies, clothes, and houses clean, and in keeping our lawns manicured that it has become impossible to avoid them.

"What? That high-fructose corn syrup is made from corn, has the same calories as sugar and honey, and may be contaminated
with mercury?"

The Environmental Health Journal recently published a study (1) finding that 9 in 20 samples of high-fructose corn syrup they
