Bottled Water and Snake Oil

So the emperor really isn’t wearing any clothes. Last week PepsiCo announced that the label on its Aquafina brand of bottled water will soon carry the words “public water source”, instead of simply the innocent looking “P.W.S.”. That’s right: Aquafina is to all intents and purposes tap water. Coca-Cola is under pressure to follow suit with its Dasani brand, though so far it is refusing to do so. “We don’t believe that consumers are confused about the source of Dasani water,” Diana Garza Ciarlante, a Coca-Cola spokeswoman, said. “The label clearly states that it is purified water.”

No doubt Coca-Cola still remembers what happened in Britain in 2004, when the press made a stink over the fact that Dasani was simply filtered tap water. The company became a laughing stock, as readers were reminded of an episode of a popular TV comedy, “Only Fools and Horses”. In it Del Boy, a decidedly dodgy businessman, decides to bottle tap water, selling it as “Peckham Spring”, named after the unprepossessing inner-London borough. No sooner had the initial furore died down than Coca-Cola discovered that some of the water had been contaminated betwixt tap and bottle, and decided to admit defeat. Dasani was axed in Britain a mere five weeks after it was launched.

Will Pepsi’s new label have a similarly disastrous impact on sales of Aquafina, which is now the market leader in bottled waters in America? It is by no means inevitable.

The success of bottled water is in many ways one of capitalism’s greatest mysteries. Studies show consistently that tap water is purer than many bottled waters - not including those that contain only tap water, which by some estimates is 40% of the total by volume. The health benefits that are claimed for some bottled waters are unproven, at best. By volume, bottled water often costs 1,000 times the price of tap water. Indeed, even with oil prices sky high, a litre of bottled water can cost more than a litre of petrol. And on top of that, there are the environmental costs of transporting bottled water and of manufacturing and disposing of the bottles.

Yet sales of bottled water have been booming. In 2006 Americans spent nearly $11 billion buying 8.25 billion gallons (31.2 billion litres) of the stuff, an increase in volume of 9.5% on a year earlier. The average American drank 27.6 gallons of bottled water last year, up from 16.7 gallons in 2000.

Quite a business model. In Britain, despite the failure of Dasani, sales of bottled water have soared from 990m litres in 1998 to 2.28 billion litres in 2006 - worth $3.3 billion and accounting for 15% of the total soft-drinks market. Its share is forecast to rise to 21% next year.

Moreover, drinks companies are betting heavily on the future growth of bottled water, including popular new varieties with added “healthy” ingredients. In May Coca-Cola paid $4.1 billion for Glaceau, the company that makes vitamin water.

To many, all this is the ultimate proof that consumers are daft and easily manipulated by retailers to buy things they don’t need. Indeed, a campaign, “Think Outside the Bottle”, is now under way in America, aiming to wean the public off bottled water. It is winning influential converts. Having successfully popularised gay marriage, San Francisco’s charismatic young mayor, Gavin Newsom, is now trying to achieve the opposite impact on bottled water: his ban on the use of city funds to buy the stuff took effect on July 1st. Other mayors are starting to follow his lead.

Even so, there may be good, rational reasons for the popularity of bottled water. It is convenient, much more portable than a tap. Also, some consumers suspect, perhaps correctly, that there is a “last mile” problem with tap water. It may be pure as driven snow when it is tested at the plant, but is it still so virginal once it has passed through old pipes in homes and offices?

Above all, consumers may be buying bottled water because they believe it is fundamentally safer, less likely than tap water to become contaminated - a growing worry nowadays, thanks to terrorists. And, if it is contaminated, that contamination is likely to be spotted and neutralised faster and more effectively by a bottler than by government regulators or a water utility.

The contaminated Dasani water in Britain brought bad publicity, but the dirty water never reached the public. Likewise, the impressive way that Perrier handled its benzene contamination scare in 1990 - immediately recalling its entire output of bottles - is a case study in how to manage such a problem.

Perhaps the popularity of bottled water is an indictment of the waste inherent in capitalism. On the other hand, maybe it is testimony to the good job that capitalism, in the form of bottled-water producers, has done in developing quality controls and safety protections that are more reassuring than those put in place by our governments and regulated utilities. The difference may be small—but big enough to get those who can afford it to pay a substantial premium for what is, after all, the stuff of life.

The Supreme Machine

How much value would you put on a machine that is so special that there are no others like it, no spare parts and yet it must run continuously without stopping for up to 100 years?

The machine, of course, is your body. The value assigned to it is up to you. But before you decide how much your body is worth, you should appreciate a few things about it. You ask it to do some phenomenal things, including process huge amounts of information, both input and output, on a daily basis; interface with others on many different levels; produce another human machine for continuity of the species; and under certain circumstances, perform feats of strength and courage.

Those things your body does because you tell it to; but what about all those things your body does every day, day after day, year after year, with little or no thought or decision on your part? Consider this for a moment - if you are an adult of about average weight, here's what your body does in 24 hours:

    Your heart beats 103,689 times.
    Your hair grows .01714 inches.
    You breathe 23,040 times.
    You eat 3 pounds of food.
    You perspire 1.43 pints of liquid.
    You speak 4,800 words.
    You turn 25 to 35 times in your sleep.
    You lose 7.8 pounds of waste weight.
    Your blood travels 168,000 miles.
    Your nails grow .000046 inches.
    You inhale 438 cubic feet of air.
    You drink 2.9 pounds of liquid.
    You move 750 major muscles.

It pays to take care of this fantastic, one-of-a-kind machine, since there are no spare parts!

Now that you have some idea of what this superb creation does, do you properly take care of it? It relentlessly performs its daily functions and asks only periodic attention, proper fuel, some rest, exercise, and an occasional checkup. Now that you know a little bit about what your body does and its minimum requirements, what is it worth? Of course, it is priceless, so be sure to maintain it with the basic requirements of proper nutrition, sleep and daily exercise.

Backslider's Corner - 12 Steps to Raw Food

Backsliding but progressing is NOT about feeling guilty about slipping. Even if you weren't 100% raw this week, how much better are you feeling than when you were on the SAD?

Some good advice from Victoria Boutenko - The 12 Steps Program for Raw Living Fooders:

Step 1  – I admit that I have lost control of my addiction to cooked food and my eating is becoming unmanageable.

Step 2  – I believe that live vegan food is the most natural diet for a human being.

Step 3  – I shall gain necessary skills, learn basic raw recipes and obtain equipment to prepare live food.

Step 4  - I shall live in harmony with people who eat cooked food.

Step 5  – I shall stay away from temptations.

Step 6  – I shall create a support group.

Step 7  – I shall find alternative activities or hobbies.

Step 8  – I shall let my higher self lead my life.

Step 9  – I shall make a searching and fearless inventory of the real reasons for seeking comfort and pleasure from cooked foods.

Step 10 - I shall let my intuition help me.

Step 11 - Through clarity I will gain happiness.

Step 12 - I shall provide support to other raw fooders.

75% of Americans overweight by 2015 - If Lifestyles Don't Change

Americans across all age groups, genders and races are getting fatter, and if the trend continues, 75 percent of U.S. adults will be overweight by the year 2015. Obesity is definitely becoming the norm. Read more - http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/07/20/75-percent-of-the-u-s-population-will-be-overweight-by-2015.aspx.

USDA Plan to "Pasteurize" Almonds Postponed

Plan postponed to March

CORNUCOPIA, WI: Small-scale farmers, retailers, and consumers are renewing their call to the USDA to reassess the plan to “pasteurize” all California almonds with a toxic fumigant or high-temperature sterilization process. All domestic almonds will be mandated to have the treatments by early next year. The plan was quietly developed by the USDA in response to outbreaks of Salmonella in 2001 and 2004 that were traced to raw almonds.

"The almond ‘pasteurization’ plan will have many harmful impacts on consumers and the agricultural community," said Will Fantle, research director for The Cornucopia Institute, a Wisconsin-based farm policy research group. "Only 18 public comments from the entire U.S. - and all from almond industry insiders - were received on the proposal. The logic behind both the necessity and safety of the treatments processes has not been fully or adequately analyzed - as well as the economic costs to small-scale growers and the loss of consumer choices."

Last Wednesday, the California Almond Board suddenly requested that USDA delay the treatment mandate until March, 2008—it had been scheduled to take effect on September 1. "We support this request for a delay," said Fantle, "but a delay, due to the industry being unprepared, isn't enough. The USDA must also re-open the rule for public review and comment so that those who have been shut out of the decision-making process can have input into any almond treatment plan."

Although foodborne illnesses have garnered headlines in recent years, including contamination of California-grown spinach and lettuce, raw produce and nuts are not inherently risky foods. Contamination occurs when livestock manure or other fecal matter is inadvertently transferred to food through contaminated water, soil, or transportation and handling equipment. Raw foods can also be infected by poor employee hygiene and sanitation practices either on the farm or in processing facilities.

"All fresh foods carry some chance of risk," notes Bruce Lampinen, a scientist at University of California, Davis, who studies almonds, "but there is no more risk now than there was thirty years ago."

And the fear in the farming community is that this will competitively injure smaller sustainable and organic growers. "This will put American farmers at a distinct disadvantage in the U.S. and abroad," says organic almond farmer Mark McAfee. Fumigated almonds are banned in the EU and many other countries. McAfee worries about the impact of the rule on his business. Seventy percent of California's crop is exported.

Several domestic companies that use California almonds are already investigating foreign sources for their needs. After buying almonds from local producers for over 25 years, Living Tree Community Foods, a Berkeley, CA-based natural foods supplier, will soon begin buying almonds from Italy and Spain. Dr. Jesse Schwartz, the president of the specialty retailer, believes the rule, if implemented, will be a travesty for American agriculture. "California almonds are the heritage of the American people," he says, "they are superior in every way."

Jason Mahon owns Premier Organics, a company that produces raw almond butter in Oakland, CA. Mahon is also looking to foreign suppliers and believes the rule is an unnecessary "fear-based decision of the Almond Board, that is clearly trying to protect itself from bad press and lawsuits."

The equipment to meet the new USDA mandate is very expensive, ranging from $500,000 to $2,500,000. Farms can outsource the pasteurization process, but Hendrik Feenstra, a small-scale California handler of organic almonds, believes that to do so will still be prohibitively expensive for modest-sized growers and handlers. "Because pasteurization companies often charge a flat rate no matter the quantity of almonds, it could be four or five times more expensive for small-scale almond producers to pasteurize almonds than it will be for industrial-scale producers," Feenstra says. And modest-size marketers are concerned that increased transportation costs will also add to their burden

Organic farmers also question the science behind the rule. They believe that the sustainable farming methods they use, such as mowing and mulching, rather than controlling weeds by chemical herbicide applications, naturally prevent the spread of harmful bacteria more effectively than treatment after the fact. According to almond grower Glenn Anderson, "An organic farming system fosters biodiversity and creates an environment where Salmonella cannot survive. This rule ignores the root causes of food contamination - the unnatural, dangerous, and unsustainable farming practices on industrial farms."

An important segment of the agricultural community feels that requiring small-scale and organic farms to comply with this rule is unwarranted and premature, as Salmonella outbreaks have only been traced to a very large industrial farm, and there is currently no published research pinpointing the causes of the harmful bacteria. "With the costs involved, and the implications on trade, they are recklessly experimenting with the livelihood of farmers," Fantle added.

Furthermore, there is a lack of evidence supporting the use of the chemical fumigant, propylene oxide (PPO), and steam as the only effective treatments to reduce risk of Salmonella. The most common method of sterilizing almonds is by PPO treatment, a genotoxic chemical recognized as a possible carcinogen that is banned in the European Union, Canada, Mexico, and most other countries. Many chemical-free and heat-free alternatives are being researched. "The Almond Board has not released any of the scientific research justifying their treatment choices," asserts Eli Penberthy, a policy analyst at Cornucopia. "This rule should not be implemented until alternative technologies are thoroughly explored."

The Cornucopia Institute also contends labeling treated almonds as "raw" is misleading and deceptive to consumers. "People choose to buy raw almonds for a variety of personal reasons, including health, nutrition, and even religious beliefs," Cornucopia's Fantle said. "This rule denies them the right to control their food choices by making informed decisions in the marketplace."

In fact, some strict vegetarians who consume only raw foods rely on almonds to provide as much as 30% of their caloric intake, believing that they are a nutritionally superior alternative to meat in the diet. "Raw almonds are increasingly popular for their health benefits," said Goldie Caughlan, the Nutrition Education Manager at Puget Community Cooperative in Seattle, who estimates that the co-op sells 28,000 pounds of raw almonds every year. She said customers are already confused and angered by the implications of the rule, and worries how it will affect sales.

Fantle charges that the rule could very well establish a precedent for more governmental control of fresh foods. Says Fantle, "If almonds require pasteurization, what foods will be next on the list of mandatory sterilization, heat treatment, and irradiation? Truly raw, untreated nuts, fruits, and vegetables might no longer be legally available in the marketplace."

Public concern about the almond treatment plan has been growing. Over 1,000 comments opposing almond pasteurization have been submitted to the USDA since the plan was approved on March 31, and an online petition to stop the implementation of the rule has garnered over 15,000 signatures. (To learn more about the issue, go to www.cornucopia.org and click on the almond navigation button.)

The only exemption to the almond treatment regulations will be an allowance for growers to sell truly raw almonds directly to the public from farmstead stands. Unfortunately, this will give only a limited number of consumers in specific areas of California, the only state in the nation that produces almonds, access to untreated nuts.

Diets based on raw foods are integral to some religious denominations, such as Seventh-Day Adventism, so the rule poses a threat not only to consumer choice, but to religious freedom as well.

Renata on Raw

Sauerkraut, Meat and Potatoes

You would think that I knew how to make sauerkraut considering I come from a German background where sauerkraut, meat and potatoes are a staple in the daily menu. Not so. I learned it just recently.

I mentioned in a previous newsletter how I never liked being in the kitchen. It seemed such an effort: long hours of preparation for the meal, and long hours of cleanup after the meal. The meal itself did not last that long.

And then the digestion part. It took me hours to recuperate from a heavy meal.

In contrast, the raw kitchen is quick, easy and clean, no grease and heavy pots and pans. And the digestion takes care of itself since the enzymes are intact in raw living food, so the body can use its metabolic enzymes for their main function: tissue repair instead of breaking down food particles.

Well, let me get back to the sauerkraut part. Meat and potatoes have been cut out of my diet. However, the sauerkraut plays an important role, more than ever, actually. And why is that, you may ask?

Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage. Canned or bottled sauerkraut you buy in the store is pasteurized and has some ingredients your body's chemistry does not think as a valuable addition to your diet. So, what is the solution? Do it yourself. It really is not that difficult and you will be surprised about the effect of homemade sauerkraut on your body.

The enzymes in fermented foods stimulate the growth of friendly bacteria. These bacteria are like the Merry Maids for your internal tubing, they sweep it out and leave it clean. People with elimination challenges such as diarrhea and constipation might add a daily dose of homemade sauerkraut. The results will speak for themselves.

A rather pleasant side effect is clearing up of your skin. As you are aware, your skin is actually an elimination organ. If the primary elimination organs are stressed beyond capacity, the skin comes to the rescue and works overtime. Unwise dietary choices such as dairy (www.notmilk.com gives you an idea about the effects of dairy) can clog up the delicate pores and the skin will loose its ability to do its assignment.

So, with a little help from our friend the humble cabbage your intestinal life can get jump-started, and the elimination challenges will be eliminated.

Getting More Out of Your Exercise

Allowing time for a rest period during your workout burns more fat than exercising for one continuous session, according to a Japanese study that could change the way we look at exercise.

A Lifestyle for Your Genes

(CBS) She's a healthy baby girl, but Allison Upchurch has a rare genetic mutation that can cause protein to build up like poison - it's called gluteric acedemia type one.

Allison's mother Donna says the condition can be fatal, but, as CBS News Correspondent Wyatt Andrews reports, doesn't have to be.

The only treatment, Upchurch says, is diet.

"We just have to give her certain foods," Upchurch says.

Treating a genetic condition with food might seem low-tech, but it's cutting-edge medicine. Scientists have long known that genes influence health. What's new is they now believe that certain foods can influence a person's genes.

The science is called neutrigenomics.

Dr. Jose Ordovas, who runs the nutrigenomics lab at Tufts University, is studying how food and genes interact in heart disease. He wants to know if Patrice Rider's genes will lower her cholesterol - on a very specific low fat diet.

"I have to eat everything," says Rider. "I have to scrape the bowl and lick the bowl."

What Ordovas is learning is surprising. It turns out a low-fat diet will not lower everyone's cholesterol. It depends, Ordovas says, primarily on the person's genetic makeup.

Another Tufts researcher, Dr. Joel Mason, studies why folate, a nutrient found in greens like broccoli, gives certain people stronger protection against colon cancer.

"Some people, based on their genetic background, might require more folate than others," Mason says.

If they ate more folate foods, Mason says, "They might more effectively reduce their risk of developing cancer."

The promise of neutrigenomics is one day based on an individual's DNA, and the next day a person's prescription may be a list of foods.

"What we are learning is how to feed properly our genes as individuals, because each one of us will need different fuels," Ordovas says.

Which in a way makes us all like Allison Upchurch; we will learn, after a DNA test, where we are vulnerable and then customize a diet to extend our lives.

Raw Living Foods® Home Study Program

The Home Study Program about the Raw Living Foods® Lifestyle was developed from the teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore at Creative Health Institute. I started putting this program together when I was Director of CHI because many of the people I talked to either didn't have time to attend the two-week hands-on program in Michigan, or if they had the time, they couldn't afford the cost.

What sets the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods® Lifestyle apart from other raw food and detox programs is its thoroughness. Often when reading articles about other programs I laugh and say, "We have that!"

For example:
- The "Energy Soup Diet" - we have that.
- "Colonics and enemas for detoxification" - yep, we teach that.
- "Living" vs. "raw but dead" foods - yep, we teach about that.
- Wheatgrass juice? Yep, that's one of our cornerstones.
- Gardening, composting, sprouting, purifying water, lightly fermented foods, food combining, transitioning to living foods, yummy raw living food preparation, exercise, internal cleansing, colon health, lymphatic system health, nutritional & dietary balance, lots of greens, dehydrating, alternative medicine, cooked foods as an addiction and staying on the program...

The Home Study Program covers all of those subjects and more. It's like buying a dozen of the programs advertised on TV, only better!

In the 5+ years that I've been involved with CHI and Dr. Ann's Raw Living Foods® lifestyle I've yet to see as complete an approach to healthy living as that taught by Dr. Ann.

Starting with a file cabinet full of documents and research, and over 300 hours of videotape, we've distilled Raw Living Foods® Lifestyle instruction to a 350 page manual and 50 hours of video instruction.

Yes, that's a lot of study material, but that's what it takes to make an informed change to a lifestyle of erroneous information and habit patterns. Read the handbook, watch the videos, and it'll change your life.

Surrounded, as we are, by increasing toxicity in our food and environment, eating a pure and healthy diet is more important than ever. More and more people are starting to see that, and I believe that's why the Raw and Living Foods Movement is growing so fast. People see that the Standard American Diet and the current medical paradigm don't work.

The Raw Living Foods Home Study Program is available as a set or as a subscription. Please visit chiDiet.com for more information.
