Another mission accomplished! Just finished watching Full House. 宋慧乔 is so pretty wor.... And the male lead, Rain...ahem.

Still think Love in harvard is much better 'cos has 金来沅. HOO! Full House is really not bad lah....quite a funny show, but very typical Korean drama involving 2 guys + 2 ladies and double love triangle. And Rain....he really reminds me of my ex boss. See -->



Alamak. Everytime his face shows on the screen, my ex boss's face oso pop up in my brain. Terrible leh... How come they both look soooo alike?!? Even the figure oso....yah my ex boss's figure is quite good for a 50+ year old uncle. But like what I told some friends, my ex-boss look like a fox with super small eyes and a bit inverted triangle face shape. Not not good-looking leh, just purely look like fox.

IMPT NOTICE: Does Brushing teeth MORE often & drinking bottled water contribute to Tooth Decay? Read on...

Fluoride helps strengthen teeth and prevent tooth decay. Mass fluoridating of municipal water supplies, started in the 1940s, has been called the most effective public-health measure ever made to improve oral health. But the growing popularity of bottled water has brought concerns about adequate fluoride levels.

Some home water-treatment systems that put tap water through high levels of filtration, such as reverse osmosis, may also take fluoride out, the ADA says. Now, a growing number of bottled-water producers are adding fluoride to brands and packages aimed at kids. Nestlé Waters North America Inc., a subsidiary of Nestlé SA and the largest bottled-water company in the U.S., introduced new fluoridated lunchbox-size versions of its popular spring-water brands this month. The 8-ounce bottles of Poland Spring, Deer Park, Ozarka, and other brands contain levels of added fluoride from 0.17 milligram to 0.21 milligram, says Jane Lazgin, a spokeswoman. That is within the optimal range for fluoride in drinking water of 0.7 milligram to 1.2 milligrams per liter, as set by the U.S. Public Health Service, and within the government's limits for bottled water. (The differences in fluoride levels vary by local air temperature.)

Dannon's "Fluoride to Go" spring water, owned by Danone SA and marketed and distributed by Coca-Cola Co., is also marketed in a kid-friendly 8.5-ounce bottle. The brand contains 0.25 milligram of fluoride per bottle, also enough to meet optimal fluoride guidelines, according to a Coke spokesman (Since when Coke started to market water huh??)

Overall, about 20 bottled-water makers now add fluoride to some of their water brands in bottles and home and office coolers, according to the International Bottled Water Association. (Is it really true? Words can be twisted...)

Fluoride, a naturally occurring compound, helps inhibit and even reverse tooth decay by "remineralizing," or strengthening weak areas of the teeth that are beginning to form cavities. It is especially critical during childhood, when teeth are forming. Children are normally exposed to fluoride through the drinking water if their community has it, through toothpaste, and fluoride treatments when they visit the dentist.

Bottled water is scarcely the largest perpetrator of cavities in children and teens. A bigger factor is inadequate brushing, along with poor diet, such as heavy consumption of sugared soft drinks.

While most bottled waters don't contain enough fluoride, it isn't clear at what point consumption of bottled water over fluoridated tap water would start making an impact, says Scott Presson, a dental officer with the CDC. Little research has been done on the use of bottled water and risk of tooth decay, dental experts concede.

Dentists also caution against too much fluoride; ingesting too much toothpaste or taking too many fluoride supplements under the age of 8 years old can leave children with chalky white spots on their teeth -- one reason dentists say parents should make sure their kids don't use too much toothpaste and help them brush their teeth.

Company officials and dental experts say the bottled waters with added fluoride have the same amounts that are in tap water. "

While many big bottled-water brands -- such as Coke's Dasani brand or PepsiCo Inc.'s Aquafina, which are produced by a high-tech purification process -- don't contain fluoride, some bottled-water brands do have plenty without having to add it. One of the springs that is the source of Nestlé's Arrowhead bottled-water brand (Drink Arrowhead!!) has about 1.2 milligrams per liter, Ms. Lazgin says.

something to thing about
1. how about water coolers and boiled water?
btw, does boiling water kill flouride??
2. dun drink too much of everything.. 25% water cooler, 25% tap water, 25%
boiled water, 25% bottled water.
(Spread out the risks!!! just like they do in stocks & shares)
