I can't say that I have been here to tell you how great it is but fashioned of the teachings of Ann Wigmore, it has to be effective and educational.

I say give it a go, at least you don't have to fly to Pueto Rico to find out!

Are Nuts Seeds? That is the question

Nut is a hard shelled fruit of some plants that has an indehiscent seed. While a wide variety of dried seeds and fruits are called nuts in English, only a certain number of them are considered by biologists to be true nuts. Nuts are an important source of nutrients for both humans and wildlife.

Nuts are a composite of the seed and the fruit, where the fruit does not open to release the seed. Most seeds come from fruits, and the seeds are free of the fruit, unlike nuts like hazelnuts, hickories, chestnuts and acorns, which have a stony fruit wall and originate from a compound ovary. Culinary usage of the term is less restrictive, and some nuts as defined in food preparation, like pistachios and Brazil nuts,^[1] are not nuts in a biological sense. Everyday common usage of the term often refers to any hard walled, edible kernel, as a nut.

My question was; can you sprout a walnut or a pecan or a macadamia... ?
I have seen almonds sprout but is it possible to have a pine nut start growing on you?

Well Nuts are indeed seeds but once treated for consumption most will not actually sprout, yes even raw nuts. When a nut comes from a tree it is wet and fibrous inside and very vibrant and viable. To eat them they are dried, mostly at below 100^O F, but dried never the less. Are they dead? Not really, the enzymes and living force is still there but other conditions for germinating and sprouting have all but gone.

To get the skinny an all nuts (that we eat anyway) I am going to send you to my friend's website where all that typing has already been done.

New Danger in Flying everyone needs to know about

It seams as though up to 60% of all flights can be a sickening exposure to PCBs. Protect yourself with a personal Air Supply. The Gaiam or Wain look like the best choices on the market that I could find

Something fishy in every store in the US

OK here we go again. Lies Lies Lies. When will the human race get out of this idea that it is acceptable to out right lie in order to sell us things we would not otherwise buy, especially when it comes to our health and well being? This is for our families, friends our children our future and our karma. What we put out into the world will always and inevitably come back to us in some shape or form. Is it really that much more difficult to do things the right way? Are we crocked or lazy, are we lost or delusional, are we naive or just plain stupid? What is wrong with doing things right? Yes perhaps the FDA should be on top of this more but really, come-on. We simply can’t put an inspector on ever box of food that comes into or out of our food supply; that is just impossible and we shouldn’t need to. The focus here on eliminating the problem is in the wrong place. What we need is a worldwide education and awakening of the huge over all affect the food producers have on the world and their omnipotent responsibility. The must feel there place of importance and respect the laws of nature and respect their selves enough to hold grandeur to this position. Yes they are godlike in their power over the people of this planet and should be wanting to do what is best for human kind, not focusing so much on their economic position. As soon as something becomes about money, its true value is lost.

Whole Foods Organics can not be trusted

 A livestock drug banned in 160 nations and responsible for hyperactivity, muscle breakdown
and 10 percent mortality in pigs has been approved by the FDA.

The beta agonist ractopamine, a repartitioning agent that increases protein synthesis, was recruited for livestock use when researchers found the drug, used in asthma, made mice more muscular.

Ractopamine is started as the animal nears slaughter.

How does a drug marked, "Not for use in humans. Individuals with cardiovascular disease should exercise special caution to avoid exposure. Use protective clothing, impervious gloves, protective eye wear, and a NIOSH-approved dust mask" become "safe" in human food? With no washout period?

The drug is banned in Europe, Taiwan and China, and more than 1,700 people have been "poisoned" from eating pigs fed the drug since 1998, but ractopamine is used in 45 percent of U.S. pigs and 30 percent of ration-fed cattle.
