    Default Apparently Life is BAD for you

    Do you ever get tired of people always telling you how bad things are for you? The food we eat, the air we breath, and now apparently the water I drink.

    I had some one pull me aside today and tell me how bad it is to drink water out of a plastic bottle. I have large plastic bottle that I refill with water several times a day. I also wash it everyday. Well, according to them because I do this I am going to get some sort of bacteria that will make me infertile.

    Ummmm, excuse me for trying to drink my 64 fluid oz of water per day. Isn't that "good" for me?

    Grrrr...so what are we supposed to do...live in a bubble ??

    *end rant*

    This 'toxins' crap is getting to me bigtime. REMOVE THE TOXINS WITH FOOTPADS. DON'T DRINK WATER. TRY THIS REALLY FUCKED UP DIET.

    Y'know if we all lived in a perfect clean bubble we'd get sick the SECOND the outside came in. Might as well get used to it so your body can fight it.

    ALSO THE AIR IS BAD FOR YOU SO STOP BREATHING.

    Well actually regular plastic bottles DO break down and secrete the toxic chemicals into the water. And no matter how well you wash it, you'll never wash it well enough with it having such a narrow top. That's why it's recommended you buy a real water bottle that you can wash thoroughly.

    But anyways, yeah I see your point. Everything nowadays causes either breast cancer or heart disease for woman! If it doesn't add risk to one, it adds risk to the other! Fuck it all, I'm living life!

    I recently found out that cadbury's easter creme eggs are in fact good for you.
    So is cherry pie...which was a huge relief.

    ^ Well, actually it is a real water bottle . It's a plastic sports bottle. I wash it in the dishwasher every day. According to the person I spoke to drinking out of ANY sort of plastic container will make me sick and I should only use glass. Never mind all the other pollution in the world ! It really drives me up the wall. Can't I just live my life without fear of something always being bad for me haha! I like your philosophy at the end there!

    Well, again, it is true that plastic water bottles leech estrogen-mimics into your water...just sayin'.

    I understand the sentiment of 'everything is bad for you' being annoying...but it's not really like that..more like "most things that have been articfically created in the last 100 years are likely to be bad for you in at least one way".

    But yeah, you pick and choose what you're going to be alarmed by. I still drink out of plastic.

    When I was little, my friend's mom had me convinced that I would get a brain tumor from standing too close to a microwave. Ugh, and does anyone remember those chips people were selling for you to put in your cell so that it doesn't give you cancer?

    I've dealt with this my entire life. And to be honest I am also the biggest hypocrite! My mom has always been the most up to date as to what is the most harmful. I mean, really, I didn't enjoy black pepper until I was 21, because it is supposed to be carsonigentic (wrong spelling, I know). Now I am the most intense smoker and drinker (even though, I still insist on eating organically as much as possible), yet I still yell at the bf to eat better to resist heart attacks and cancer, lol! I think that all the worrying might be genetic and more harmful than anything I put in my body, lol!

    I agree...I think stress is pretty much the worst thing for our bodies. So worrying about what might be "slowly killing" us is just as bad as any toxin, in my opinion.

    All the bad pollutants and carcinogens and whatnot that are out there, are in the water, food, and air we consume. Our bodies are just like the earth.
    I don't think you can realisticly avoid it. Imo
    Healthcare advances and knowledge in general have greatly increased our life expectancy, even in the presence of all these hazards.

    It's supposedly true! There are "free radicals" in the air we breathe that makes us age etc etc ... or something along those lines. So yes even breathing will kill you!

    I guess I didn't think the person was lying to me...I figured what they were saying about drinking from plastic did hold some truth.

    I just thought it would like if I went up to a jogger in the park and said "hey you know being out here in the sun can cause skin cancer, right?"

    You are right though, you pick and you chose.

    I do believe the one about cell phones, I think. We're going to see a shocking rise in brain tumors over the next several decades. I'm working up the nerve to get rid of my cell phone, but until then my phone phobia is helping me to not use it very often!

    Hadn't heard that about the plastic and estrogens, that's interesting. I've been spazzing lately because there is way too damn much soy in my diet and I'm concerned about the phytoestrogens. I love tofu so I'm still eating it, but I'm switching to different kinds of milks other than soy and trying not to have soy every damn day like I've been doing. I think that's where the trick is - being aware of the risk and minimizing it, but not to the extent that it has a negative impact on your life. Everything's a tradeoff.

    Whenever I have someone get on my case about something, I just say ,"pick your poison!" It is annoying though!

    The only thing I go up and warn complete strangers about is when I see a really young person with earbud headphones on a volume so high I can hear it. Because going deaf in the prime of life really would suck for anyone.

    I've had people be annoyed with me for that, but what the hell.

    Otherwise I mainly keep to myself. Except when someone starts talking about their health problems. Then I usually start ticking off a list of things they might want to check out. For example, if someone was saying they had thyroid problems, I might tell them to cut out soy, because most of the people I know who have trouble with soy are people who have thyroid problems. Or for mysterious sudden-onset stomach and nervous system problems, I'd say cut out Splenda/sucralose.

    Mostly I believe that your body will tell you what to eat. Mine often tells me that bottled water which has sat on the shelf in the heat is bad; I get a flavor from it that makes me gag; I assume from that that it's bad for me, because my body is telling me not to drink it. But I don't assume that it's bad for anyone else, just that I'm sensitive to it. Everyone's got a different genetic makeup and metabolism.

    Seriously, pretty much everything can give you cancer or make you sick some how. Toast, mobile phones, soy, plastic, microwaves, blah, blah...

    I don't know about the rest of you but I'm not going to drastically change my entire life and spend everyday worrying about getting sick when I don't know what fate will determine.
    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    The effect of stress is probably overall the leading cause of aging and death (aside from living, which is obviously the leading cause of death). I try and live as healthy and clean as I can. I try to observe what I eat and partake in my vices with moderation. I think that is enough for anyone. Frankly, the added stress from trying to live a "perfectly" healthy life is probably a greater cause of illness than any of the little toxins we take in from food, water, etc.

    That's my two-and-a-half cents on the subject...just live baby!

    I do hot yoga 3-5 times a week. This is yoga done in a room heated to about 90-95 degrees. This means I sweat alot. I mean ALOT ! So I really do need my eight glasses of water a day. Other people might not need that much water... but I do!!
