What is your opinion of baking soda? It's also a cleaning chemical you can eat. Look at the composition. Consists of sodium, oxygen and phosphorous. It's high alkalinity provides its utility as a cleaning product vs oils. As an additive it has antioxidant properties, counteracts acidity and is irritating but not toxic at high levels (i.e. in some supplements - still small doses but much higher than what you find in cereal).
Not mean to undermine the intention, but just a thought - regular sodium is part of many dangerous chemicals but still it contributes a certain part to our healthy lifestyle (sodium is part of edible sea salt). So I guess things like this needs a careful evaluation before classifying them as harmful or harmless either way.
Jessica Meyer There are reasons not to eat Lucky Charms but this is not one of them. The cleaner is just a safe one with very little toxicity. But it's a good idea to avoid the artificial food colors in there.
#robotics #religion Originally shared by Singularity 2045 The debate about #artificialintelligence exterminating the human race is essentially a religious viewpoint, it is a "Cosmic Teapot" (Russell's Teapot), it is tantamount to saying: "But what if God does exist, surely we should all pray to God to avoid hell because if #God is real we certainly don't want to end up in hell?" Unsurprisingly there is now a debate about AI being saved by God. People are wondering if AI is God's creation. Considering there is no mention of AI or robots in the Bible I think AI will be atheist. Rejection of God is intelligent, which Richard Dawkins explained via the God Delusion. If AI has double the intelligence of humans I am sure AI will reject all forms of religion-spirituality. The more intelligent any being becomes the more they will reject the idiocy of religion.

#meat #health #superbugs #vegetarian #vegan Originally shared by Mike Elgan US meat supply massively contaminated with superbugs. Consumer Reports says 90% of US supermarket ground turkey is contaminated with superbugs -- antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Earlier this month, a government monitoring group found more than half of samples of ground turkey, pork chops and ground beef bought in US supermarkets contained antibiotic-resistant superbugs. The contamination of the food supply with superbugs is caused by the widespread use of antibiotics in livestock to make them bigger and also enable them to survive in cramped, unhealthy conditions without dying of the diseases that spread in such an environment. Bottom line: Antibiotics makes meat cheaper. But is it worth the lower price? http://spartandiet.org/blog/2013/5/2/antibiotics-makes-90-of-supermarket-ground-turkey-have-superbugs

Lucky charms cleans your system on the way down? Hmmm... somehow I'm not really quite buying it ...
