Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Sat nam, ji. Just as soon as I praise NIH for hosting its annual Yoga Week, I turn around and see this story about NIH doing what the FDA does as a matter of course - pushing Big Business' agenda. In this new case, NIH has published a children's coloring book that encourages toothpaste with the extremely controversial fluoride ingredient, as well as non-organic milk with the highly questionable bovine hormone. Yogi Bhajan recommended a very pure alum-based paste for brushing (and gagging), and he was big on the untainted milk that is ubiquitous in his native Punjab. Yogis in general are increasingly seeking healthy food, nutrients and therapies, so posts about threats to natural food, nutrients and therapies are highly appropriate at this . It's great when NIH encourages pure, basic science; it's another when they push an agenda. Here's the story: ---------------- A bizarre new coloring book for kids issued by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development obsessively promotes the use of fluoride-based toothpaste despite the chemical's proven link to liver and kidney damage in children, cancer and the lowering of IQ, as well as another harmful product - Bovine Growth Hormone infested milk. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2008/060308_deadly_fluoride.htm Some yogis aren't going to like Alex Jones' InfoWars as a source, but in the Aquarian Age the Big Institutions and their so-called experts no longer can be automatically trusted. So spread your net and find your own truth. Amar Atma Kundalini-Yoga , " Charles D.
