The Air Force said its nuclear missile capsules were safe. But toxic dangers lurked, documents show

WASHINGTON (AP) — A large pool of dark liquid festering on the floor. No fresh air. Computer displays that would overheat and ooze out a fishy-smelling gel that nauseated the crew. Asbestos readings 50 times higher than the Environmental Protection Agency's safety standards. These are just some of the past toxic risks that were in the underground capsules and silos where Air Force nuclear missile crews have worked since the 1960s. Now many of those service members have cancer.

Juice your fruit!

MaryJane's Everyday Organic

If you have yet to sip fresh fruit juice first thing in the morning, you don't know what you're missing. The taste of fresh juice is positively brilliant, made even sweeter by the fact that you know exactly what went into your glass. According to recent news reports, testing by the Environmental Law Foundation (www.envirolaw.org) tested nearly 150 common juice and packaged fruit products, and they found that 85 percent contained alarming levels of lead. In some instances, individual servings of juice harbored lead levels substantially above the Food and Drug Administration's daily limit. This is really scary when it comes to kids, who can suffer developmental problems from even minute amounts of lead, but it's not a matter to take lightly no matter your age. The solution is simple (and simply delicious): Take the fruit juice out of the factory and bring it home to your kitchen. Maybe you have a surplus of fruit from the summer's harvest, or maybe you have a favorite local source of organically grown produce. Either way, I'll bet you have something fresh on hand right now that you can squeeze for a superbly refreshing drink. Savor it spur-of-the-moment, or store for later use.

Grind your own grain

Most of us have been buying commercially milled flour for as long as we can remember. It's just not something we think about much these days. I'd venture a guess that most school kids have only a foggy idea where the powdery white stuff in the pantry originated (before the supermarket). The real shame of buying flour from the store is that freshly milled flour is rich with flavor and nutrients that get stripped away during large-scale processing. It all started during the Industrial Revolution, when mass food storage and shipping became the rage. To this day, commercial milling removes the "germ" of the grain, which contains healthy and flavorful fatty acids, in order to extend the shelf life of flour. Soon after whole grains are milled, those wondrous oils start to spoil, whereas degerminated flour can technically last for years without going rancid. The secret that many of our grandmothers understood, however, is that storage isn't a concern when you make flour at home, and the payoffs from grinding your own grain are plenty.
