The Fluoride Controversy: The Facts & The Fiction – by Paul G. Rubin, DDS, MIAOMT

There is a great deal of controversy about the effectiveness and the safety of fluoride, especially in the form of water fluoridation. The intent of this paper is to provide you with information you will need to make an informed decision about fluoride.

This information is based on valid scientific sources, and its basic premise of is that water fluoridation is ineffective at improving dental health, and does have the potential of adverse health effects (in other words, harm).

History of fluoridation

Water fluoridation began in the late 1940’s and 50’s after some preliminary studies were done that purportedly showed that a certain “optimal” level of fluoride (stated to be one part per million – 1ppm) in the drinking water led to decreased cavities in children. The testing protocols were quite flawed, and science gave way to politics.

Monster High Clothes For Kids – Inappropriate Kids Fashion Trends Sexualize Children

Everyone who has a child, whether an adult child or a young one, has experienced “bad fashion” for their kid’s age group at one point or another. Some of it I, personally, don’t think is too bad, but some of it DEFINITELY needs to go!

I read an article on Yahoo! News that had fashion trends for kids that they thought should go this year. It ranged from Baby Bikinis, to “sexy” Halloween costumes, to Monster High’s clothesline, to a couple other things. Overall, 2011 had some really bad fashion trends for kids that just need to go away. There’s currently a heated debate going on, about the appropriateness of baby’s in bikinis. A lot of people find them cute and adorable and feel that people “need to lighten up”. There are just as many people arguing the opposite, that it IS inappropriate for a baby to wear a bikini because of perverted people and sex offenders.

Nutrition, Teeth, and Good Health – by Dr. Tom McGuire

When most people think about good nutrition, they assume that the only important thing is what’s in their food. Well, chew on this: Teeth—that’s right, teeth!—play a critical role, too.

The connection may not be obvious at first glance, but if you have missing teeth or dental disease, you simply won’t get the maximum nutritional value from food.

Maybe you already know that unhealthy teeth and gums can contribute to serious diseases, such as heart ailments, osteoporosis, and even diabetes, and severely stress the immune system. The end result is that your quality of life and longevity may suffer. But I’m betting you don’t know how teeth also fit into the nutrition part of this equation.

Weston A Price Nutrition and Physical Degeneration – Reflections on Reading Weston Price

I recently read an extraordinary and thought-provoking book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price, DDS. In the 1930′s Price, a dentist from Cleveland, Ohio, became interested in the deteriorating dental and general health of his patients and of modern Americans. He noticed that each new generation seemed to have more cavities and more dental problems such as crowded teeth and narrow bridge formation, accompanied by an increase in other health problems, such as allergies, fatigue, behavioral problems and asthma.

Suspecting that the cause of this worsening dental and overall health might be nutritional and suspecting the many processed foods in his patient’s diets, Price decided to travel the world to examine firsthand cultures still eating their traditional diets, devoid of modern, processed foods. He eventually studied fourteen different cultures, including a remote island in Scotland, tribes in Africa, Eskimos in Alaska, Polynesian islands, and a village high in the Alps of Switzerland.

Baby Christmas Gifts – Personalized Baby Gifts – Christmas Gift Ideas For Baby Girls and Boys

Choosing baby Christmas gifts for newborn babies, or growing baby girls or boys up to age two, is pretty easy. The pictured Plush Turtle Ball Pit Baby Toy Playcenter is a great gift for babies 6 months to 3 years old. Sit baby inside the Turtle Activity Bag’s soft shell and fill it with the set of 25 Play Balls, or zip the turtle up to discover other fun activities on the outside of its shell.

Christmas gifts for babies and toddlers can be personalized in many ways, perhaps with a gift of a personalized newborn “babies first Christmas” ornament with the child’s name engraved on it, to be hung on the xmas tree or used as gift wrap decoration attached to a pretty decorative bow.
