		<description><![CDATA[Hello this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I&#039;m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does this sound 100% safe?

The National Academy of Science’s 2006 report Fluoride in Drinking Water is considered the most comprehensive, authoritative resource ever written on the toxicity of fluoride.

This 507-page volume, which took three years to complete, was researched and compiled by a blue- ribbon committee of 12 leading scientists. It thoroughly documents harm from fluoride exposure and cites numerous ways Americans could suffer adverse effects. Selected quotes from their report

(http://www.nap.edu/openbook.ph... (Just change the last digit here to the page number below and it will take you right to the selected quotes so you can read them in context.

Brain: “. . . it is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain and the body by direct and indirect means . . . .” p. 222

Cancer: “. . . osteosarcoma (bone cancer) is of particular concern as a potential effect of fluoride . . .” p. 336 (NOTE: The Bassin/Harvard study published a few months after the NAS report found a 500% increase in bone cancer in boys exposed to fluoride in drinking water - Cancer Causes Control, 2006)

Diabetes: “. . . sufficient fluoride exposure appears to bring about increases in blood glucose or impaired glucose intolerance in some individuals and to increase the severity of some types of diabetes.” p. 260

Endocrine system: “Fluoride is therefore an endocrine disruptor in the broad sense of altering normal endocrine function . . .” p. 266

Kidney Disease: “Portions of the renal system may therefore be at higher risk of fluoride toxicity than most soft tissues . . . . The effect of low doses of fluoride on kidney . . . functions in humans needs to be carefully documented . . . .” p. 303

Thyroid Disease: “The chief endocrine effects of fluoride exposures in experimental animals and in humans include decreased thyroid function . . “ p. 8 (NOTE: Over 4% of Americans have hypothyroidism (low thyroid function). Fluoride alone could put 41,000 people at risk who drink Portland’s water.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The statement &quot;Germany exceeded 50% solar in November&quot; should be clarified.  This in no way means they get 50% of their power from Solar, on average.  It means, on one particular high production low consumption day, it briefly hit 50%.  The long term average, however, is closer to 5%.  While impressive, it also highlights the extreme variability of such renewables.]]></description>
