>Replace the couters immediately!

Recently there was a big news article in the New York Newsday (google

it) about radiation and granite. Seems granite is becoming alot more

toxic these days-they don't know why. But the guy who came to check on

this womean's counter in the story said that " well, its ok but keep

your pregnant daughter at least 10 feet away from the counter at al

times! " I couldn't believe that!

So get rid of it-I actually have a corian counter and its the BEST

thing in my kitchen-go with it!

It is not that it is more toxic, granite can include radioisotopes

naturally. It might depend on where it comes from. You know Uranium

comes out of rock, right? They mine it and concentrate it.

Might be the reason why most buildings are made out of sedimentary

rocks like sandstone, and limestone, at least around here.
