The Amazon which is called the earth’s lungs shelters many species of living things. Its massive green mushroom-like canopy produces air that the rest of the world breathes. Among its wild fruits stands out a small berry called Açaí that grows from a palm tree along the river banks of the Amazon river. Acai berry has become a fast-growing herbal therapy in the world. It’s acai’s rich concentration of anti-oxidants, among all the nutrients and vitamins it contains, that makes it a wonder medicine and super food too. In fact, it has been termed “super food” by the world’s anti-aging expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone. It contributed to acai’s increasing popularity other than in the US and Latin America.

There’s a new chemical player in water purification that we should all be concerned about. It may cause birth defects, genetic damage, spleen damage, and lowered immunity among other things. The biggest problem is that most water filters will not remove it from the water. The new chemical is chloramine. This chemical is engineered by combining chlorine and ammonia.

Creating safe drinking water has never been easy. Chlorine has been the inexpensive chemical of choice in the United States for many years. However, when chlorine comes in contact with organic materials, compounds known as THMs are created. People have registered enough concern with the government over THMs that the amount of chlorine is being lowered, but the new levels might be too low to do the job everywhere. That’s how chloramine started being used.

I found it from an on the internet recipe collection, and it turned out very delicious.

And here it is for you to like yourselves:
