Candy, Weight-Loss Jabs Under Fire

From eNewsletter 2/18/2026

DID YOU KNOW that the state of Florida health department tested arsenic content in some of our most popular candies and found that it did not take much to exceed elevated levels?

They calculated how many pieces/servings it would take to exceed safe levels of arsenic. For example, they found that a child would only need to consume 6 pieces of Jolly Rancher Hard Candy Sour Apple in one year to exceed safe levels of arsenic. For adults, it would only take 15 pieces consumed in one year to exceed safe levels. Many kids and adults eat that many in one week.

If you want to peruse the list of candies screened for arsenic and how much it would take to exceed safe levels, please go to this page.

Sparkling Water Study Is Revealing

From eNewsletter 2/16/2026

DID YOU KNOW that naturally sparkling mineral water is not only beneficial for your bones, but a new study from Nutrients suggest benefits for skeletal muscles that support your bones as well?

The double-blind controlled study found that daily intake of one liter of naturally calcium and magnesium-rich mineral water compared with low-mineral water over 12 months reduced fall risk and improved muscle mass in adults 50 years or older.

The key here is "naturally sparkling". Naturally occurring bicarbonate from calcium and magnesium gives the water its effervescence. Most sparkling waters are infused with carbon dioxide for effervescence, which can have a detrimental effect on bones.

As you may already know, our favorite brand of naturally sparkling mineral water is Gerolsteiner. Others like Pellegrino are fine, but Gerolsteiner is the highest in mineral content.
