DANGEROUS ANTIQUES ! #1202
Between Antiques' Road Show, Martha Stewart and "How-To" cable TV shows, many people are buying old items like dishes, mugs, bowls, glasses, etc.
HOWEVER there is a caveat of danger.
Many of these items in use contain LEAD!! We all know about the dangers of lead in water, but glass and ceramics contained very high amounts of lead. Lead crystal for example. IN ADDITION, many imports still contain lead in pottery, kitchen items like glasses, dishes, etc.
There is a simple test to detect lead in antiques that are use. A simple stick from the hardware store rubbed on the object will change color in the presence of lead and perhaps make an antique something to enjoy by looking at instead of using.
I haven't heard of the dangers of lead in a long time, and the new generation of collectors may not know about this and many forget about it.
Informing the public could be a great lifesaver!

Incorporate flax into your diet #68
Adding a few servings of flaxseed into your daily diet is healthful for your heart and digestive system.
Studies show that the fats found in flaxseed may be good for your cardiovascular system. Flaxseeds contain alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that is necessary for blood pressure regulation. The seeds also contain lignans, compounds with antioxidant-like properties. Its high fiber content also keeps your digestive system healthy.
Be sure the flaxseeds are grounded so that the your body can digest it properly to ensure maximium absorption.
