IMPORTANT UPDATE ON BENZENE: (AP) Cancer-causing benzene has been found in soft drinks at levels above the limit considered safe for drinking water, the Food and Drug Administration acknowledged. "The admission contradicted statements last week, when officials said FDA found insignificant levels of benzene.""In fact, a different study ound benzene at four times the tap water limit, on average, in 19 of 24 samples of diet soda" http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/04/06/health/main1476464.shtml TAKE ACTION http://www.consumersunion.org/campaigns/notinmyfood/learn.html ASPARTAME SAFE? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/04/05/health/webmd/main1473654.shtml With aspartame being increasingly contained in practically all areas of food items these days, it stands to reason that with as much lobbying power industry weilds in …

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE FIRE, SCARECROW? Arsenic may be called the king of poisons, but it is everywhere: in the environment, in the water we drink and sometimes in the food we eat.

Arsenic may also contribute to other life-threatening illnesses, including heart disease and diabetes, and to a decline in mental functioning."

Never mind this underlying architectural oversight but heaven forbid that the toilet seat ever gets left …

It's the woman that requires a nest, you see, and men are always willing to make certain sacrifices for women - particularly if those sacrifices will save them some hard …
