Greetings and thank you for reading A Natural Environmental Health Facts ezine!

As I see clearly now! :-) Still basking in my great vision improvement but shocked at the price of glasses with one plain lens or not? I cannot believe the price of lens and frames have almost doubled since I bought my last pair just 4 years ago and the frames are so small now! Half the frame for double the price! Shocking to say the least! I hit every ocular shop in town and found them all to be basically the same... So get your Master Formula orders in today so I can say I paid for them with my own hard earned money! :-)

"Today's Health" column is a bit different than usual but one that points out a problem in the medical world with the rich getting richer at the expense of the less fortunate... "Something To Think About" doesn't look like a medical related article but by reading it you will find out that it is... FYI...

Something To Think About
============================

Does your skin shrink in water?

If you spend an hour in the pool or bath, you'll notice, of course, that the skin on your hands and feet becomes shriveled. That's not because the skin is shrinking, however. It's because the skin is expanding from the absorption of water. Skin over the hands and feet is thicker than in other places and when these areas of thicker skin become saturated, they expand. Because of their denseness, wrinkles appear and the skin becomes whiter from the increased water content. Thinner skin elsewhere in the body has more room to absorb water, so wrinkles take longer to appear. Interestingly, skin does not wrinkle from seawater because seawater is so similar to the fluids in our body.

Instant Tea May Have Too Much Fluoride
Jan 26, 2005
By CHERYL WITTENAUER

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Instant tea may be a source of harmful levels of fluoride that can lead to bone pain, researchers discovered after they looked into the case of a woman who drank one to two gallons of super-strength tea daily.

Scientists say it's not the country's biggest dietary problem. But it does make the point "all things in moderation," said lead researcher Dr. Michael Whyte of the Washington University School of Medicine.

He said the study tested 10 brands of instant tea at regular-strength levels in fluoride-free water; they didn't test brewed or bottled tea. Fluoride levels ranged from 1.0 to 6.5 parts per million. The maximum level allowed in drinking water by the Environmental Protection Agency is 4 ppm.

Fluoride is absorbed naturally into tea plants from soil and rain water, and varies from "year to year, harvest to harvest and hill to hill ... and among regions of the world," Whyte said.

Swallowing high levels of fluoride boosts bone density, but also makes bones more brittle. It can lead to skeletal fluorosis, which causes bone pain, calcified ligaments, bone spurs, fused vertebrae and difficulty in moving joints. It's a rare condition in the United States, Whyte said, but in some countries is more common than osteoporosis.

He said regular consumers of high-fluoride brick tea made from old leaves, berries and plant twigs in parts of China and Tibet suffer aching, dense, poor-quality bones.

It was this rare condition that prompted the Washington University study. Scientists wanted to find the cause of a middle-aged woman's spinal pain. Tests revealed high levels of fluoride in her urine. She then disclosed she drank one to two gallons of double-strength instant tea each day.

Now she drinks lemonade. Although her fluoride levels are back to normal, her bone density remains high but her pain has eased.

Aside from pointing to the need to drink tea in moderation, the study suggests more research into tea's fluoride content is needed. The findings were in the January issue of the American Journal of Medicine.

Fluoride is added to most major cities' drinking water to help prevent tooth decay. A British analysis in 2000 of numerous fluoride studies found no increased risk of bone fractures among the elderly from adding fluoride to drinking water.

Joe Simrany, president of the Tea Association of the United States, said "drinking tea is an entirely safe proposition. You'd have to consume so much tea for it to become an issue."

Dr. Michael Kleerekoper, a professor of medicine at Wayne State University who conducted a five-year, nationwide study of fluoride treatment for osteoporosis in the 1980s, said Whyte's study shows that anything consumed to excess is not good, whether it's "four gallons of pop or two liters of whiskey."

"Of all the dietary excess in society today, this is probably not the biggest culprit," he said. "I'm not minimizing his work, but the problem is one of excess."

LENA'S COMMENT: I have to say anyone who would drink a gallon, much less two gallons of instant tea a day has a huge problem with control and I suspect she has a lot of other problems beside fluoride poisoning! Water at two gallons a day, unless you weigh 500 lbs would create a problem as well! She was the canary in the mine for the rest of the world with her excess... That is definitely in excess but fluoride in tea is a problem and should not be ignored! I have a problem with the statement; Swallowing high levels of fluoride boosts bone density, but also makes bones more brittle. Are they trying to justify fluoride safety while saying it's bad? That's my guess - A contradiction in terms there!

I'm missing those nice little orange, yellowish green fruits that use to grow in our back yard in Southern California. It was easy to walk out and pull a few off the tree and eat them as a snack during the day or put in a bag to take to work for a morning or afternoon snack. We had two different types; the normal kumquat – small yellowish orange colored - and Limequates – greenish yellow color, both the shape and size of bird eggs - growing in our back yard that were absolutely refreshing and different and were ready for picking throughout the winter months. I loved slicing them into fruit salads as well as fresh off the trees as a snack. Tangy insides with a sweet peel, so different from other citrus that require peeling before eating.

Kumquats, also called Cumquat, kinkan or Fortunella crassifolia or as Chinese call them

Gold Oranges, are the fruits that are produced from small family of evergreen trees, similar to an orange tree, that grows to a height of 10 - 15 feet. Our kumquat and limequat trees were miniature and only about 5 feet tall but never failed to be loaded with fruit… Kumquats are truly the tiny jewels of the citrus kingdom. The bite-size fruit, which are eaten skin and all is a wonderful combination of tangy and sweet flavors unique to themselves. The seeds, similar to the seed of the orange with a distinctive green color, should not be eaten, but contain pectin, which can be removed by boiling for use in making jams and jellies.

Kumquat is a small little fruit that is said to be native to China and Indochina, where the trees can grow up to 10ft, and are much appreciated for their beauty and fruits. Dwarf kumquat trees are specially cultivated in pots for the Chinese New Year celebrations, when its fruits are used as edible decorations. In the U.S. they are mostly cultivated in California, Florida and the Gulf Coast. Slightly bigger than a Brazil nut, they have a thick sweet peel and a tart pulp. Excellent in marmalades, jellies, crystallized, minced or whole. They make an interesting addition to salads or in sweet and sour dishes.

Has the minerals that most citrus contain such as; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium along with the Vitamins C, B-6, B-12, A, E, folic acid, niacin, Thiamin and riboflavin. Making it very citrus but also a calming soothing food. So when you are out of sorts have a few kumquats!

Winter fruits that can brighten up a dreary winter day. Compact and bite-sized, you can eat kumquats as you would a grape. Just wash them and pop in your mouth. They're also nice in salads or as a garnish in drinks. They have a tangy citrus flavor and can be used in any dish that calls for oranges or grapefruit. Kumquats are high in fiber and vitamin C. There are variations of kumquats such as orangequats, lemonquats, and limequats. So no recipes as we like them raw…

If you live in an area where you are privy to having access to the kumquat family take advantage of these healthy little citrus fruits.

Making a Fortune by Wagering That Drug Prices Tend to Rise
By STEPHANIE SAUL
January 26, 2005

Stewart Rahr's new $45 million East Hampton estate, the most expensive house ever purchased in New York State, is just across the pond from Steven Spielberg's. Mr. Rahr plays golf with Donald Trump and practices putting on an indoor green in the basement of his warehouse in Queens. He and his wife, Carol, last drew attention in 2003 when they bought four works of art, including a Renoir and a Picasso, in one sitting at Sotheby's.

But as he becomes increasingly visible as one of New York's wealthiest men, Mr. Rahr, a 58-year-old law school dropout, is girding himself for the elimination of the system that helped generate his fortune. His success offers a rare glimpse into a lucrative but little-known corner of the pharmaceutical industry - the once-mundane business of delivering drugs from manufacturers to pharmacies.

Over the last 20 years, the packing and shipping of drugs evolved into a game of arbitrage, called speculative buying, with distributors like Mr. Rahr wagering on drug price increases.

This common industry practice seems more fitting to a casino than a distribution warehouse. And in the 1990's and the early years of this decade, with prices far outstripping inflation, it was a sure bet.

Knowing that drug manufacturers typically increased prices at the same time, often in January, drug middlemen like Mr. Rahr, the sole owner of Kinray, which is based in Queens, made millions by overstocking their warehouses before manufacturers announced price increases. By acquiring extra inventory at the lower price, distributors made quick profits once they sold the drugs at higher prices a short time later to retail pharmacies.

Prescription drug prices are a combustible political issue, and manufacturers feel intense pressure to restrain them. With their historically large profits threatened, and with regulators questioning aspects of the speculative buying system, the manufacturers have taken steps to shut it by limiting distributors to just one month's worth of inventory. Drug manufacturers have also begun using special software to help detect speculative buying.

Mr. Rahr would not disclose exactly how much he made through speculative buying. Goldman Sachs estimated that the distribution industry, which is dominated by three large public companies, made 60 percent of its profit, or $980 million, from speculative buying in 2001, when the practice was at its peak. More recently, Goldman Sachs estimated speculative buying's contribution at 40 percent of profits.

Mr. Rahr, who honed the practice with the help of a computer program, said that his profit from the practice never reached 40 percent.

LENA'S COMMENT: Another form of gambling with legal drug! Poor man never reached 40% profit! Wall street drug pusher at the top! Drugs are not only big business in dark corners but in the world of high finance gambling as well . He is no better than the street drug pusher in my books... Who can sink so low as to get rich at the expense of the people who can least afford it? Legalized drug pushers and pharmaceutical companies that's who!
