1. No short term fixes

- Nagging

- Bribing (with unhealthy stuff)

- Smacking/shouting

- Punishing

- Even hiding vegetables

Many people don't like drinking tap water because of the taste, especially in my home town of Adelaide where the chlorine taste is pretty strong. But the real reason not to drink the tap water may be your health.

Have you ever wondered what effect chlorine has on your body? Well chlorine is present in the water because it is good for killing bacteria and so helps to remove diseases from the water supply. Unfortunately unlike your immune system chlorine is unable to differentiate between beneficial and unhealthy bacteria.

For most Australians, when you are drinking your tap water, you are really taking medication. Yes that's right: our water has been medicated by the addition of fluoride. But that's OK because it's good for our teeth, right?

Well, perhaps not.

Whenever I speak to people about the excessive amounts of processed carbs, breads, grains and cereals in our modern diets, I invariably get the question, ‘What about wholegrains? They're good for you, aren't they?' Well, the answer is a little complicated, but worth going through here.
