Amanda went to visit Tony from The Breath of Life. He gave a great explanation of internal human parasites (ewww, gross) for us.

Sometimes what looks like clean water isn’t clean at all. If it looks dirty because there are some minerals in it it may not taste good but might be perfectly OK to drink. It might also be poisonous even when completely clear and odor free.

To clear this up (pun intended) Rick got a lesson in water quality from Michael Christophetes from The Granite Inspection Group (http://www.gigrp.com/). Mike is a home inspector and tests people’s drinking water often. In this short video he explain’s to Rick the what, where and how of what he usually finds out along the way… and then Rick drinks something that looks nasty.

Don’t do that at home unless you have professional water testing equipment!
-Enjoy!

Housecat’s are descended from desert hunters.  Should we be feeding them dry food with wheat and rice in it?  Many vetenarians are changing their opinion about this lately.
We visited our friend Dr. Michelle Yasson from http://HolVet.net for the straight story. We filmed a video so we could share with you.

This week we answer a question we got last week from Mike in Texas, “Why is milk white?” Some people will say that it’s because the fat floating in it (ewww) but they would not be telling you the whole story. IN fact, they are pretty far off base. We sat down and Amanda decided she could better answer this one.
