Aluminum Selenide Reaction With Water

Do you know nutrition?: Conventionally grown vs. organic, which is better?

By Phylis Canion

I always hear that eating healthy is more expensive, but each visit I make to the store and price what I call "junk" food, I think it is pretty expensive as well. Do organically grown foods contain more nutrients than conventionally grown foods?

According to studies presented by J. Balch, M.D., here is a breakdown of the healthy minerals contained in organically grown foods: boron, 70 percent higher; calcium, 63 percent higher; chromium, 78 percent higher; iodine, 73 percent higher; iron, 59 percent higher; lithium, 118 percent higher; magnesium, 138 percent higher; phosphorous, 91 percent higher; potassium, 125 percent higher; selenium, 398 higher; and zinc: 60 percent higher.

As compared to toxic minerals in conventionally grown, aluminum is 40 percent higher, lead is 29 percent higher, and Mercury is 25 percent higher.

More than 1 billion pounds of pesticides and herbicides are sprayed on U.S. crops each year. Organic means foods that have not been sprayed with synthetic chemicals and have been grown in safe soils. Because baby foods can be contaminated with pesticides and chemicals, more of the well-known baby food brands are now selling organic as well.

While it is so hot these days, I find myself drinking more water without even being aware of it. What is it about water that quenches my thirst better than sodas and tea?

All living things must have water to survive - there are no substitutes. Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water. Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones and chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Water makes up approximately one half of your adult body weight and can only survive a few days without it. (Did you know that at birth, water, accounts for approximately 80 percent of an infant's body weight?) While soft drinks, coffee and tea are almost entirely made up of water, they also contain caffeine. Caffeine acts as a mild diuretic, preventing water from traveling to necessary locations in the body and performing its important job of delivering beneficial nutrients and eliminating toxins. If you are interested in reading more about the benefits of water, I would suggest an excellent book titled, "You Are Not Sick - You Are Thirsty," by F. Batamanghelidj, M.D.

For an aquarium fan like me, a source of clean water is essential. I live in a desert town in CA. The city water could be the dirtiest in the country. The TDS meter reads 300-500 ppm in different seasons. I have tried carbon and PP filters but none of them could reduce the PPM to below 200. With some basic education about water treatment, I found Reverse Osmosis is the only cost effective solution. I spent some time researching RO filters on Internet and bought a WATTs unit three years ago. It did the work but later replacement cartridges cost me a leg. Then I found this wonderful seller. Its unit is very similar to WATTs. The seller implied it is made in the same factory that provide OEM for brand names. Both the unit and replacement cartridge are at fraction cost. With that in mind, I purchased one unit and a set of pre-filters-of-three. It worked like a charm so I came back to order another two for my mother and sister. The package arrived quickly than I expected. The cubic box is well packed and includes all parts and accessories, including the upscale chrome faucet, which I like the most. The one that came with WATTs has black plastic handle and looks cheap. I got a local plumber to help me hook it up. With the attached manual, installation is quite straightforward. I found the flow chart is very helpful in understanding how the tubes are connected, although the tubes are colored already. We were confused a bit by the flow-restrict valve that controls the clean/waste water ratio and so called 4-way valve that split clean and waste water. We called the seller and quite surprisingly, the phone was answered right away by a real person. She gave clear instruction. In less than one hour, I got clean water from faucet with a stronger flow than my old Watts. I could not wait to take out my PH-TDS meter. It reads PH7.0 AND 18ppm! This PPM is ideal as pure water is actually not that good for your body. The water tastes great. The full glass looks crystal clear with some cute air bubbles, with absolutely no odds and cloud. I feel it tastes even better than Arrowhead bottle water. My fishes and water plants are happy with the water too. It produces 50 gallons clean water out of about 150 gallons waste water a day. This ratio is much better than WATTs’ one out of six ratio. I understand waste water is the nature of RO technology. Besides not buying any bottle water, I use the RO waste water to irrigate my lawn and make myself even a “greener” person. I hope the concentrated minerals would help reduce fertilizer use. Over all, this is the best RO filter at this price in the market. I would recommend to anyone.
