Seltzer and Sunlight

[Guest guest]

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.
