As promised, we will occasionally select health related articles for your consideration. From the perspective of my experience as a professional critical care nurse, psychotherapist and nutritional consultant, information that is highly significant or urgent on the "health radar" will be published here.
Hopefully, this additional focus upon your health will be of value to you. Many of the articles I have curated on this site have taught me this truth: Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Spirit. To that goal I am dedicated.
"By now you have probably seen the ads for MiO Liquid Water Enhancer, Kraft Foods' new gimmick aimed at young consumers seeking "cool" new ways to stand out among their peers. Leave it to the food and beverage industry to find a way to turn your perfectly healthful water into a mixture of toxic chemicals. This latest craze has you squeezing brightly colored flavor drops into your water from a cute little purse-sized bottle, and watching the mesmerizing nebula of color diffuse slowly into the clear water".

"But if you take a closer look at the labels, you'll discover they're spiking your punch with a lot of unsavory ingredients, many capable of wreaking havoc on your metabolism, hormones, and other physiological processes—and some of which are outright carcinogenic...If you aren't already a label reader, it's time you became one, lest you fall prey to these clever marketing ploys".
Here is the ingredient list for the Mango Peach variety of MiO:
Artificial sweeteners are bad news for your health (they can lead to impaired kidney function, depression, headaches, infertility, brain tumors, and a long list of other serious health problems) and are unnecessary food additives—because there are SAFE natural sweetener alternatives. This is such a huge issue that I wrote a book about it called Sweet Deception. "
The market for designer drinks that appeal particularly to teens continues to explode and is becoming a health risk that children do not consider.

Water, Malic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Citric Acid, "natural flavor," Sucralose, Acesulfame potassium, Potassium citrate, Polysorbate 60, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, Potassium Sorbate (preservative).Basically, this is a scary mixture of TWO artificial sweeteners, THREE dyes, one preservative, and propylene glycol (PG)—a solvent that can potentially result in cell mutations and skin, liver, and kidney damage, if ingested in high enough amounts. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) rates propylene glycol as a moderate hazard.
