Kenya is renown for its wonderful gastronomy and array of exotic and international cuisine. Keep to established hotels and restaurants for meals. Drinking water from the tap is considered risky. Hotels and lodges usually furnish safe water in a thermos flask in guest rooms. Bottled mineral water is available in every hotel and supermarket.

Aside from a few cups of black coffee, I drink nothing but water all day. I love it and it's great for me. I drink about 1.5 gallons of water a day. Back to index

Yes, because from scientific data and clinical test studies which where held by US FDA, it is found that Plantago Ovata (Psyllium Husk), the active substance of Vegeta, can reduce the risk factor for heart disease and lower cholesterol levels in the blood.

Food and water supplies most likely will remain safe. However, any unpackaged food or water that was out in the open and close to the incident may have radioactive dust on it. Therefore, do not consume water or food that was out in the open. The food inside of cans and other sealed containers will be safe to eat. Wash the outside of the container before opening it.

Panama has excellent food with some of the best seafood in the world. There are a variety of international restaurants to keep you energized. The water quality varies in Panama, so we recommend bottled water to just be on the safe side.

The Department publishes advice on how much fish people can safely consume due to contaminants. Fish consumption advice for Lake Michigan trout and salmon species is the same whether those migrating species are caught in Lake Michigan or in one of its tributaries. A special study was conducted and showed that for Lake Michigan trout and salmon migrating into tributaries, the fish do not accumulate additional amounts of contaminants after entering the river or stream.

JDRF has received generous donations from local and national companies to help feed our walkers at this year s event. Water will be available before the Walk. Additionally, there will be snacks, juice and water at the half-way point located at the Preble Street parking lot. Directly following the Walk we will be holding a BBQ sponsored by Hannaford Bros.. Please be advised that due to the large number of walkers expected at this year s event we will have to limit the amount of food per person.

No. This can be dangerous because the temperature will vary according to the accuracy of oven regulators and circulation of heat. Dry heat is very slow in penetrating into jars of food. Also, jars explode easily in the oven.

Often people think that they can save money by buying larger containers of canned food, transferring the contents (or leftovers from the first use) to smaller jars and re-processing it. Others wonder if this is a way to save leftovers from any size can for a longer time than they will keep in the refrigerator. We have no safe tested processes to do this.

Use your common sense. My understanding and impression is that the food industry is tightly controlled by health authorities, who regularly take probes for germs and bugs. I've never been sick from eating out except for cases when I overindulged. Most food poisonings are, of course, due to meat and as a vegetarian you don't have much to fear. I mostly eat on the street, and have been doing so since '94, and seem to be alive and well, physically at least. Lucky you are to have come here.

Answer: As much as possible. At least a liter and a half, or 64oz. a day as an even better goal. Flavored water drinks (Propel, etc.) are counted as water, even though they have a very small amount of calories. Drinks should be essentially non-caloric, and should have no carbonation, caffeine, or high levels of citric acid. You can count half the volume of your protein drinks toward your water requirement.

Do not consume alcohol until you are familiar with the effects of SEREDYN. In general, consumption of moderate amounts of alcohol is safe while taking SEREDYN. SEREDYN may increase the sedative effects of alcohol, so avoid drinking large quantities of alcohol while taking SEREDYN.

Yes. It would be extremely difficult for a bioterrorist to contaminate our drinking water supplies to cause widespread illness. Huge amounts of water are pumped daily from our reservoirs, most of which is used for industrial and other purposes. Anything deliberately put into the water supply would be greatly diluted. Poisoning water supplies would require truckloads of biological or chemical agents that are difficult to produce and relatively easy to detect.

Intentional contamination of the water supply is thought to be highly unlikely. Water treatment facilities routinely filter the drinking water supply, add chlorine in order to kill harmful germs and regularly test for contaminants.

NO. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), children under 1 year of age should not receive infant formula made with fluoridated water. Babies exposed to fluoridated water are at high risk of developing dental fluorosis - a tooth defect caused by fluoride-induced cell damage within the teeth. Other harm is also likely. According, for example, to the US National Research Council, “it is apparent that fluorides can interfere with the functions of the brain.

Different treatment is used depending on the source of your water. Ground water taken from wells has been filtered through rocks, so it is usually quite free of particles. It can still contain chemicals and organic matter that must be taken out, though. If your water comes from a surface-water source, such as a river, some work must be done to get rid of particulate matter.
