RE: High Water

in #esteem6 years ago

Oh I went through that for a while with an allergy to domestic wines. I was OK with imports. I wonder if California vineyards switched whatever preservative they were using to something that might be a little healthier because I no longer have that problem and can drink a glass of wine without sneezing and getting all congested. I'm not much of a drinker but I do enjoy a glass of wine with a nice meal or even sometimes as I'm sitting here before I go to bed. I have a bottle open right now left from the luncheon that I hosted on Monday and a glass right now sounds really nice.

Sort:  

howdy again melinda010100..oh how interesting, so you had something similar. Well we found out what the allergy was to, that compound that I can't remember...oh I just remembered, it's sulfites because that's what they add to keep them from spoiling so we went with organic wines but it has to be organic that doesn't add sulfites because most organic wines also add that stuff.

Sulfides. Yes, that was it. 10 years ago, I simply couldn't drink the stuff. It never bothers me now, which makes me wonder if they changed something. Maybe they figured out they were poisoning everyone
It was always so nice to be in France or Portugal or Greece and be able to drink the wine without additives.

Exactly. I learned that all the wine in Italy is organic because they refuse to use any chemicals or bad sprays in their vineyards. So it sounds like the other countries are the same way huh?

And then over here we have to soak everything in toxic chemicals.

Monsanto wins again. When I spent a month in France eating real food my MS symptoms almost went away.

melinda010100! oh wow! Well that's huge...so you can't eat that way here?

I try to, it's easier in the summertime when I get all locally raised organic produce, but it becomes a bit harder in Wisconsin in the winter when you often don't know how the produce was grown. But even our oats have roundup in them. It's hard to avoid the chemicals here, when my neighbors are spraying them on their lawns, and the farmers are using crop dusters on their fields.

yes it's crazy. I know that I read about a big study and the researchers were shocked to find out that almost every type of food that they tested off the shelves of grocery stores had roundup in them.
