My family has worked very hard to deliver the safest and healthiest water to our home. We have done a great deal of research on the toxins in our city water supply and best ways to eliminate them. We ultimately decided on a whole house water filtration system. This way we are washing, bathing, cooking with and drinking the cleanest water possible. We also added a reverse osmosis system to our kitchen area for drinking water. Here is a great video and article regarding toxins in our water supply by Dr. Mercola.

The truth about raw almond regulations

For three years, a group of almond growers have been fighting to keep their products unadulterated! Did you know the almond growers in the USA are currently required to sterilize their almonds either through steaming, irradiation, roasting, or treating them with propylene oxide, a known carcinogen that’s been banned in the EU. Treated almonds can still be called “raw,” meaning health-conscious consumers who want unadulterated food are more or less being duped.

Good News: An exemption was made for small-scale growers.

Bad News: They were forbidden from saying their almonds hadn’t been treated.

Finally, these growers have won the right to take their challenge to federal court. They’ll be able to argue why the regulation should be thrown out, and it could mean big things for the  health of raw almonds if it is.

Stay tuned for the latest in the raw nut world!
