The Un-realized Health Hazzards of Plastic Water Bottles

Dear Readers,

I just received an e-mail which was very informative and quite alarming regarding the growing health and environment hazards posed by the use of plastic water bottles.  It is definitely worth a quick read, and has some great information on safer alternatives...  Here is a link to the website below.

Food Handling Safety Tips Everyone Should Know

I just completed an on-line learning program about food handling which is required for all food workers in the Washington State because I will be up there helping out on a retreat.

Even though I have taken numerous courses during my years of medical training and have passed tests before for food handling in my teens and twenties for summer jobs, etc., I can't believe how informative this 30 minute on-line course is.

There are so many opportunities for contaminating food due to our incomplete understanding of correct practices in the kitchen, I recommend everyone in your household who is involved in preparing and storing food watch this excellent presentation!

At the end of the course you are asked if you want to receive a Food Worker's Card good for WA State, but you obviously needn't apply for one.  This is just a very good education to keep you and your family safe from food borne illness which can produce chronic intestinal problems and serious diseases.

Click on the following link to begin the course... it's truly worth a few minutes of your time ;-)..
