Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 , I'm not qualified to comment on the sunlight issue, but I know of two naturally carbonated waters that you might want to try. Apollinaris -- high magnesium (6% RDA/8 oz) Gerolsteiner -- high calcium (8% RDA/8 oz) I don't know if the availability of these is at all regional - I wouldn't think so since they're both imported, but they're both available at most of our local co-ops and upscale groceries her in the Twin Cities. As I understand it, both of these come out of the ground essentially the same as they are bottled. There also both very good tasting in my opinion. Neither is flavored, but I would think a slice of fresh lime, lemon, apple or strawberry would make it very tasty very quickly. Another one I just thought of that I'll have to try soon: smash a cranberry or two and pour the water over it in a glass.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 One thing on anything carbonated... A Norwegian farmer stayed with my parents one summer on a farmer exchange program. My mom had ordered a case of carbonated soda stuff that said all natural and organic etc.. He laughed saying, 'You Americans think you are eating so healthy, why are you putting carbon into your body. Ou body needs to be breathing in Oxygen and breathing out carbondioxide. We should not be putting any more carbon in than necessary!' I have never really looked into it much, but often wondered about it. Grace, a Augustine I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough ''Hello's " to get you through the final goodbye. --anonymous ----- Original Message ----- From: Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 1:11 PM Subject: Seltzer and Sunlight Hi everyone, Two questions: 1. I love seltzer water--the flavored kind (lemon, orange, clear and no sugar). I've been buying the really cheap stuff, but am rethinking my choice...does anyone know of drawbacks to artificially carbonated water? Would I be better off with Perrier (assuming it comes out of the earth bubbly)? Any other brands to recommend? 2. I'll be in Tucson AZ in a few weeks and I want to take advantage of all that sunlight. I've read to get D from the sun you need to not shower or go in the pool for awhile (ie have some natural skin oils still on your body) and to (obviously) not wear sunscreen. What do you all think--are the dangers of our depleted ozone and skin cancer too great to even consider this? How long should I stay in the sun to reap the benefits without burning myself (I am VERY pale right now)? Thanks. ps-this list continues to fascinate me! Thank you for all the info so far.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 If you were to stop putting more carbon into your body, you would immediately eliminate all food. I'm not saying that there isn't perhaps some validity to the idea that carbonation isn't good for you, but the explanation given by the farmer doesn't really seem like it has a lot of validity. Carbon in and of itself isn't a bad or toxic thing. -----Original Message----- From: a Augustine [mailto:professionalmommy@...] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 2:02 PM Subject: Re: Seltzer and Sunlight One thing on anything carbonated...

Any other brands to recommend? Gerolsteiner is my favorite. Trader Joe's carries it for $.99 a bottle. It is high in minerals and has carbonation from the same spa. >How long should >I stay in the sun to reap the benefits without burning myself As a sometimes-nudist who does not go out in the sun that often but who tans well I usually stay out for about 30 minutes at a time (Los Angeles summertime). Then I rest in shade for another 30 minutes. Then back out in the sun again. All the time I'm gauging how much sun I've gotten (press finger on skin, skin sensations, etc.). I can usually tolerate about 1 to 1 1/2 hour each day in the brightest mid-day sun. If it is the first exposure after wintertime of no sun, then you should halve those times - especially in Arizona where people there wear SPF 80+. It is best to not shower or bathe the night before or the day of tanning. It really helps to have raw fats in the diet prior to doing this (raw cream, raw butter, raw eggs, etc.) A bikini is best to expose the most possible skin for the vit. D - or au natural. Don't cover the eyes with glasses either - the eyes like the sunlight too. Regards, -=mark=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen both of them in NYC. I think Fairway might have one or both, though I'm not positive. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Professor Buteyko, Ray Peat, myself and many others agreee on this to varying degrees. Bottom line is drinking naturally carbonated water AWAY from meals is an excellent source of additional CO2 into the system. By all means have plenty of nat. carb. h2o.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 I meant carbondioxide in that second reference to carbon... Sorry I forgot the dioxide part. He just meant we breath out carbondioxide and why are we drinking it? Like I said, I have not looked into it at all and do not know anything about it, but if there is any truth to his statement it would be nice to know! Grace, a Augustine I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I can't find the precise reference but somewhere I had read or heard that nitrogenation of the colon occurs in people who drink naturally carbonated water. I don't know if this makes sense but I presume that this is a good thing. Anyone know anything about this? -=mark=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
