au Le Cadeau, colloidal gold bottled water

There's gold in them thar bottles of water!

ABC Dispensing Technologies, Inc. has launched their newest product, "au Le Cadeau", bottled water that contains gold, colloidal gold that is.

The company says that while gold is often thought of as a precious metal, many of its medicinal properties have long been forgotten. It seems that ancient cultures of the past consumed gold as an elixir, and these cultures used gold in ceremonies to access a higher state of consciousness. Today, modern medicine has found gold to be useful for pain relief associated with arthritis and other forms of stiffness.

How much gold is in each bottle of water? Not much. Just tiny little "nanoparticles", is how colloidal gold is dispensed. You'd probably get more gold consuming a bottle of dirt from the Sierra Nevadas.

But as simply just bottled water, it's a cool looking bottle. au Le Cadeau's water source is located at a mountain spring in the Pacific Northwest and is not purified or treated in any manner.

Too bad they didn't consult someone concerning the name before they launched the product. 'Au le' is a definite faux pas...and really bad french.

Well, if I decide to drink gold, I think I would prefer Geltwasser (or, as Froogle/Google insist, Goldwasser), a liqeur.

This company knows how to package! Perhaps the "au" in the name "au Le Cadeau" is the scientific symbol for gold? Le Cadeau means THE GIFT in French. I love it!!!

Just saw people going bonkers looking at the real sample bottle! Although the company is putting a high price tag on the stuff... they'll sell millions in Las Vegas alone.

Nevermind that gold is a heavy metal and poison. They should sell snake oil, too- they obviously have the market reach.

Gold is non-toxic. Many people consume gold nano clusters every day (ala, Colloidal Gold) in concentrations as high as 200ppm.

Get your facts straight!
