    large quantities of X-ray could be harmful, and as a result many people suffered health problems. What do you think are some things today in our society that may one day prove to be very harmful to our health, but which we do not know yet?

    Teeth whitening.  I think it may be bad... the bleaching can't be good for you... and when you go and get it done in a clinic... those ultra violet rays are bound to do a person harm.


    Fake nails... there is another one.  Fingertips are going to fall off in the very near future.


    Tight jeans.... Oh yes... that was my generation!


    Baby carrots are not baby carrots.  They are ugly carrots sanded down and preserved with Chlorine.  That is why they turn white when they are not fresh.  Very bad for you.


    One more.... MSG.  Welcome to the allergy zone.


    I almost forgot... fake body parts.  You will be who you will be baby.... Celebrate!

    I've had many many X-rays. I'm still not glowing in the dark.

    Ive been told I am unable to ever have any more CT scans, X rays are also a last resort...but they did save my life,detecting very serious problems

    I hope you are doing much better Lambie. xoxox Fishie.

    I hope that someone will discover, in the very near future, that there are two things that are bad for us.......too much exercise....not enough junk food!!!!      :)

    you naughty duck, though I must admit I'm slightly addicted to KFC

    Yeah!!! I think its already been discussed that too much exercise can be a bad thing, especially high impact as in running. hips knees, ankles and spine will suffer in the years to come.

    Good...no more walking or working out for me!
    Now, how about that junk food...do I need more of it? lol

    Since the 1950s many compounds and chemicals have come into common usage without any testing of the potential of adverse effect in nature or man unless proven by those harmed by the effects of it’s use. Keytones in the Chesapeake Bay, Radium paint on wrist watch dials, Agent Orange on fish and wildlife, X-rays distruction of cartilage and connective tissues, Mercury in the dental fillings of children known to reduce intelligence and still in use. The list goes on and on and on.

    I agree. The Chesapeake Bay is in bad shape :(...for years chemicals from farms and waste products have been dumped into this amazing bay via the rivers and estuaries. Aberdeen Proving Ground and the Nuclear power plant have also increased to Bay "changes".

    Money over common sense and damn the effects. Financial bottom dwellers are expendable fodder to the grinding gears of progress. The only way out of this mess is for us to end the use or need for money.

    0H EVERYTHING`S DEEEMED BAD ....JUST ENJOY YOUR LIFE N STOP WORRYING!!!!....WE ALL HAVE TO SHUFFLE OFF THIS PLANET AT some time...me before you no doubt...but Im still making the most of it!!!!LOL!!:-))...LIVE LIFE  N ENJOY!!!....you die if you worry......u die if you don`t!!!...i`m just loving the life i have!!!!:-)

    If you constantly read these reports about everything that is bad for you you will die of malnutrition and possibly die of some disease because you will refuse treatment in fear its bad for you..  Forget all this and live your life.  There is no such thing as dieing healthy.  use common sense.  I have had many X-rays, no problems as i see although radiation is not a good thing fact is that the good outweighs the bad, if of course you were bombarded daily with rads, yes you will get sick.. But if all you ate was carrots every day you would also get sick..  use common sense.. and don't be afraid of living!  

    Radon, and all the stuff in our drinking water, also rain water (acid rain)

    I feel if we got back to living and eating  unprocessed foods it would go a long way promoting our longevity, I don't believe in diet drinks or artificial sweeteners, lite foods (chemical added rather than fat removed) low or no salt products, margarine artificial colorings etc, I worked in an institution awhile back, everyone was on low fat, low carb, low sodium diets, when health checks were done most were dangerously lacking in in a vast range of necessary minerals, sodium etc, a "normal"more natural diet was introduced, the clients health improved and so did their overall mood, over time graphing sedative medication for violent and adverse behavior had been noticeably reduced

    I agree with all except the low/no salt. We get way, way too much salt because it is added to almost everything...tomatoes, vegetables, juices, soups, etc. Sometimes when you check ingredients, you see that 1 cup (only 1 cup..not the whole can) of a product, gives you 40% of your daily requirement and that is just ridiculously too much salt for anyone! (P.S. KFC has been proven to be extremely salt soaked you bad lamby!!! :)

    I truly am a bad lamby,love salt and just found my new favorite cake, oozes coffee and chocolate cream,I'll soon be a very fat lamby if I don't behave

    I'm a salt freak too but developed high blood pressure a few years ago and salt is a no-no for that problem...yum to salt, coffee and chocolate cream...we had better not ever get together...bad influence on each other! lol!!!
    lambshank

    oh, but wouldn't it be truly enjoyable

    I dont buy processed food and only use seasalt. I refuse any X-ray that I know I dont need and dont use over the counter drugs. I plant my own vegetables and buy eggs from the farm. I use natural remedies for colds headaches and occational pain. Yes, too many X-rays can be harmful. There is so much information out there about what is harmful..I stick to what I beieve in and it makes me feel safer and also feel better.I think cellphones wii turn out to be harmful 10 yrs from now.

    Im like the majority of people in that ive got a mobile phone and its crossed my mind before that one day will they be blamed for damaging folks health?Does anyone remember (and im going back years here)something about microwaves causing cataracts?Come on someone with a better memory than me,remind me.....

    Ducky

    Moderator
    I absolutely do remember that microwave ovens were supposed to cause cancer...don't stand in front of them when they are on! Eeeeekkkk..run for your life!!!!!!
    I don't specifically remember cataracts but I'm sure there were lots of other illnesses "caused by microwaves" besides cataracts and cancer. :(
    And really...who knows?

    Car exhaust but I think that's a given............

    Acid rain...when it comes.....due to the last couple of hundred years of the Industrial Age...we'll have to figure out all kinds of ways to protect,well,everything...

    Thanks Ducky.I knew there was something but couldn't for the life of me remember what
