Sorry to go off the topic of homeschooling but I thought this was important enough to mention.
There have been some concerns coming to light recently about the widespread use of Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) and what it means to our families. I've researched this extensively and it seems that this potent substance can be lethal to humans in even very small quantities.
Even though Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is used as a powerful industrial solvent, it's still allowed widespread use in our food production! In fact, food producers have been getting away with using DHMO even in foods labeled "all natural." This is a serious concern because studies have shown that, even after careful washing, food and produce that has been contaminated by DHMO remains tainted by it.
Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, possibly a bloated feeling or feeling of lack of energy, nausea, vomiting, and body electrolyte imbalance.
I'll post some more later when I have more time, but I wanted to at least give everyone a heads up. There is a DHMO.org Web site that has been set up as a clearinghouse for information regarding the substance and possible government and media coverup. (Despite a direct query for information, the EPA refused to deny the existence of a coverup.) Anyway, that Web site is the best source of information I've found so far. I would encourage everyone to at least look at their facts page at http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html for a good overview of the issues.
