Toxic Chemicals Found In Teas

[NANUXII]

lol I bet you do Sandy : 0)

heres some more on the use of Calcium Chloride

I think this can help reduce and extract the negative effects of Fluoride, i read that it helps reduce its half life over time. It takes about 8 years to get that stuff out of your bones etc.

Im looking into a suppliment , if anybody finds a good one please let us know.

N

another great article , lots of good info here

This is very interesting, not much info but still says a lot about fluoride elimination.

Calcium can counteract fluoride damage
SOURCE

Duke University Medical Centre

A study has found that an increase in calcium in diet can help widespread dental health problems caused by excessive fluoride consumption in remote regions of Ethiopia.

The areas have high levels of naturally occurring fluoride in the groundwater which harms tooth enamel and bones if too much is consumed.

An effort has been on treating the drinking water to reduce fluoride levels but fluoride levels were found to be too high for the process to be effective.

The study found that alternatively, calcium can be increased in the villagers' diet to help prevent fluoride damage.

Increased numbers of fluorosis have been reported around the globe, which highlights the importance of this study as global warming could worsen the quality of drinking water in upcoming years.

THis is quite interesting.

Avoidance of any fluoride from all sources, including hidden sources:
The following list describes things that you can start doing immediately. It will take a while, but slowly
your symptoms will dissipate. At some point or points in the detoxification of your body you may even
feel worse for a short time, but if it's due to the detoxification process, then it's a good sign and
should be short lived. You must be VERY careful not to expose yourself to fluoride in any form.
Unfortunately, in our world, this takes constant vigilance.
. If you are living in a fluoridated community, try to avoid drinking, cooking with, and even bathing in
that water as much as possible.
. Throw away that fluoride toothpaste!! Non-fluoride toothpaste can be found in health food stores
(but also try to avoid SLS - sodium lauryl sulfate - which is a chemical in many toothpastes, even
those found in health food stores).
. Avoid chicken baby foods, chicken McNuggets, Vienna sausages, and any other formed chicken
products. Any meats that are separated from the bone by a machine will get bone dust in them.
Bones, just like teeth, absorb fluoride. Studies shows babies can ingest too much fluoride simply from
eating chicken baby foods daily.
. Fluorinated pesticides on all foods is a problem, and washing does not remove all pesticides. Since
grapes have more surface area, grape juice can have very high levels of fluoride. Please start to
immediately buy and eat only organic produce.
. Any food or beverage that contains water and is made in a fluoridated area will have fluoride
content. Here is a list of some: http://www.bruha.com/pfpc/html/f-_in_food.html
. Canned and bottled soft drinks, fruit juices, beer and wine and some bottled water have a
fluoride content not listed on their label. If you use bottled water, call the manufacturer to find the
fluoride levels, if any. Wines made from non-organic grapes have especially high fluoride content.
. Even if you don't drink your fluoridated water, when you go to a local restaurant, the water they use
for their drinks, soups, gravies, rice, etc. is from the tap, so it's fluoridated.
. Many medicines, including several antidepressants and antibiotics, are heavily fluorinated. Always
ask about any medicines that are prescribed to you to find out fluoride content.
. Since the ocean contains approximately 1.4 ppm fluoride, ocean fish, such as tuna, contains fluoride.
Fluoride in any fish is especially concentrated when it is canned, especially because canned fish often
contains bones. Avoid all canned fish.
. Fluoride can be inhaled via ocean mist, air pollution, e.g. from coal burning buildings & aluminum
and many other manufacturing sources, and from cold water humidifiers if fluoridated water is used.
. Less obvious dental products like tooth-colored filling material and some cements, rubber bands for
braces and floss can contain fluoride.
. Avoid all pesticides, refrigeration coolants, fluxes, professional window washing chemicals, and any
other household or industrial product that may contain fluoride/fluorine compound in any form. If you
are not sure, study ingredients, call the manufacturer, or research on the web.
4. It's very hard to avoid fluoride, but ingesting recommended amounts of
nutrients is very helpful in counteracting fluoride's ill effects and the only
side effects are better overall health.
. Calcium, magnesium, vitamins A, C, D, K and probably more are required nutrients to prevent tooth
decay. Several of these have been shown to reverse severe fluorosis. Make sure your child gets his
calcium/magnesium requirements and eats the recommended amount of (organically grown) fruits
and vegetables each day.
. Calcium, magnesium, and vitamin C are essential in offsetting symptoms of fluoride poisoning. Try
to eat calcium and magnesium rich foods, including green leafy vegetables - just make SURE they are
organically grown/produced (including milk products, although milk itself should be avoided while
detoxifying). Vitamin and mineral supplements are useful and can be important – in theory. The
trouble with calcium and magnesium (and other) supplements is that they are very often
contaminated with fluoride, and one never can tell, as most labs do not even test for F content. (We
are working to find a good source of F-free supplements that we can suggest to people.)
. Buying and eating organically produced produce and processed foods is your best bet at being sure
that your food is as fluoride free as possible. To be sure about ingredients in your food, try to cook all
of your meals from “scratch”, so you are familiar with all the ingredients.

Tea is a subject with which I am somewhat familiar.

I was ‘trained’ by a 3rd generation Tea Master from a tea growing family from Taiwan.
He taught me about the how’s, where, etc. of tea appreciation and the art of it all.

And the world of tea is as complex and involved (and more so) than wine.
And like wine, tea has a commodity aspect to it as well.

But there is an exquisite side to tea that most are not familiar, unless you know someone who has been trained in the art of how to ‘properly’ make tea.

As to the poisons found in tea…
This is true for most ‘commodity’ teas but this situation is usually assiduously avoided by the hi-end tea growers.
And most every tea that comes from a box or a bag is a commodity.
Now this isn’t always true, but I have only run across 1 tea that was a hi-end tea, in a bag.
With one exception, that being the teas that Ten Ren sells.
http://www.tenren.com
This is a decent place to start with decent whole leaf teas, with plenty of room to explore not only different types of tea but also different ‘grades’ of tea as well.

Most all ‘good’ teas are loose leaf.
Again with a few exceptions (Pu Erh for instance) most of the tea grown in china is of the commodity type.
While Taiwan is where the ‘good stuff’ comes from, or can depending upon the source(s).

And as for the fluoride contents in tea, yes it is there, but in very differing amounts (depending on the particular tea), but also it occurs naturally within the plant, as in it is ‘buffered’ by the plant’s biochemistry itself.
And this version of this element is very different than the poison that is added to the water supply. This crap/waste by-product of smelting (among other sources), is in no way a naturally occurring substance.

In short tea is a complex subject and due to the continually changing dynamic that is involved with growing tea, it’s rather hard to determine how much of what chemical compounds are in what tea, as it changes from season to season and year to year.

And of any of the available liquids we have available for consumption including just good ol’ water, tea has proven itself over millennia to be quite help and healthful.

But I’d suggest that some degree of care and attention to detail be applied in choosing the tea and in preparing it.

Just my 2¢
