Pollutants normally stored in fatty tissues could be released into the blood, researchers say

hmmm... this may qualify as the most useless article of the entire week. Someone decided there were too many articles focused on eating healthy and exercising? Maybe it would be good to drop an article in once in a while that encourages you to stay fat by creating an irrational fear of some obscure, inconsequential factoid blip that losing your blubber could increase disease onset? Moronic.

I choose to believe that THIS article is the real deal. Now gimme a bacon samich - I'd hate to let any of my toxic fat break down and kill me!

I give up. I can't win. If I stay fat, it's bad for me. If I lose weight it's bad for me. I say a huge bah humbug to it all. I'll do what I feel is best for me...keep losing weight that I've been slowly losing (so I won't gain it back). One week this food is good for a person. The next it's not. Maybe we have too many scientists in this world with nothing to do, so they do ridiculous studies instead of using common sense.

This is possible, they use way to many chemicals in water purification.

This explains why it is so important to DRINK LOTS OF WATER! Water helps flush the pollutants out of our bodies as we loose weight.

Eight glasses of water a day is the standard recommendation. How many of us actually do it?

Coffee and tea are dehydrating, the more cofffee and tea you drink the more dehydrated you become.

Dehydration also causes low grade headaches - see: http://www.healthy-happiness.com/headaches-from-hidden-dehydration.html

This is also the reason you should sweat, sweat flushes out more pollutants than drinking water.

I was going to point out the same things. I'm glad someone beat me to it! I drink at least 64 oz a day.

You got to be kidding - no matter what you do - it is going to kill you. There will never be an end to the endless articles on how bad everything is for you. They want to keep the public in a state of panic to control what people do or don't do... think about it... the more people lose weight the healthier they are - the less they go to the doctor - so there is a loss of money for them. so create a panic... can't loss the excess pounds or i may get something. Come on people start to think for yourselves. Do what is best for you and never mind what everyone else is saying. Stop watching the news and see how much better you start feeling.
