Be happy to. My nutrition books are packed somewhere in the garage, and would be too laborious to type here the chapters on this subject. However, let me try and find a web page that states what we know. ----- Okay, here's a decent one. http://www.teeccino.com/ArticleDetails.aspx?ArticleID=15 "Metabolic acidity is a condition that creates a high demand for minerals to rebalance the body’s natural alkalinity. All foods must be buffered so that the body’s tissues, blood and other fluids are maintained at the normal slightly alkaline pH of 7.3 to 7.4 – quite a specific and narrow range for optimal health. Alkaline minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium are the buffering agents that the body uses to achieve this alkaline balance. If your diet is acidic and doesn’t supply adequate minerals, your bones and teeth will become the reservoirs the body uses to get the minerals required to readjust the acidity to alkalinity. A simple yet accurate definition of “acidic foods” is those foods that don’t supply alkaline minerals. Both regular and decaf coffee, tea, meat, sugar and refined carbohydrates are all acidic foods that can cause your body to be robbed of minerals if you don’t have an adequate supply in your diet. Although most fruits and vegetables are alkaline because they are high in minerals, lemon juice, for instance, is an acidic food because it doesn’t have a high mineral content to balance its low acidity pH of 2.2-2.3. As we age, the body becomes more acidic because the digestive tract becomes less efficient at absorbing minerals and its mineral reserves may be depleted. Metabolic acidity can make you susceptible to illness and disease, including fatigue, digestive problems, bladder infections, Candida yeast infections, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, colds, flu, and allergies. Thus if you are eating highly acidic foods, make sure you include foods and beverages high in the alkaline minerals calcium, magnesium and potassium so your body can maintain a healthy alkaline metabolism. " --(btw, this was confirmed by a very good friend who was found to have breast cancer several years ago. They wanted to do bilateral radical mastectomies. She started studying and found the fact I quoted above. She completely changed her lifestyle, including giving up her multiple cups of coffee in the morning (coffee being acidic), and when tested again 6 months later her cancer was completely gone!. Spoke volumes to me. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Actually, in taking nutrition classes it is well known that vitamins and minerals cannot be absorbed by the system when there's caffiene there. Rule of thumb is to take your vitamins/minerals at least 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after drinking your coffee in the morning. Otherwise you're just pissing your nutrients away. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Did a little googling, and was interested to find this: "Interestingly enough, the drink does not provide calcium—one of the key minerals said to be lost when caffeine is consumed." http://www.brandchannel.com/features_profile.asp?pr_id=338 ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Well, okay. Rick -looks- that old, but it's probably just from his constant sunbathing. I sent an e-mail with the picture off to Jim Wallace. Let's see what he says... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Change the first part to "keep" instead of "return" and you'll have part of the conversation that occurred around the table this weekend here. One of my dear friends lost their son in Iraq this past month. On May 28th to be exact. They were immigrants to this country and waiting until August to be granted full citizenship here. Their son joined the U.S. Army to serve his new country. On the 27th he wrote he was okay and would be on base for a few days not to worry. On the 28th he was dead. His troop was sent on a mission to rescue a downed helicopter and a road-side bomb incinerated their vehicle. His father served in the Afghan war (they were immigrants from Russia). They have a very different view of the world than those of us here, protected from that lifestyle. They agree that Sadaam was what kept that part of the world in check, dispite the evils he perpetrated. It was a very somber weekend, here. The grief was immense. Oh, and btw, their son was granted citizenship and the papers presented to the family at his graveside service... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Funny you should ask. Decided to relax outside with a good book today. Umbrella overhead, protecting the face and eyes. Legs got a good base-coat though. Now where's the aloe vera! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

So, this collector of valuable documents and letters passes away. His family doesn't know what he had in his possession! What is found, in his laundry room is astounding! Letters from Winston Churchill, Peter the Great, Mahatma Gandhi, Alexander Pushkin, John Donne and Queen Elizabeth I. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/06/04/britain.letters.reut/index.html My favorite quote was written by Ernest Hemingway to the American poet and critic Ezra Pound in 1925, explaining why bulls are better than literary critics. "Bulls don't run reviews. Bulls of 25 don't marry old women of 55 and expect to be invited to dinner. Bulls do not get you cited as co-respondent in Society divorce trials. Bulls don't borrow money. Bulls are edible after they have been killed." ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Directe joined you guys... We had a meet of our own in Eloy. Small turnout, but good fun nonetheless. Yes, Directe did along with (on round 2) Johnnie "Broken" Eagle (again). Instant canopy on that round. The Eagle was on ice the rest of the day... Good thing they thought of an team alternate! Then wasn't there a few AZ swoopers who came for that competition as well? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

As per Jeff Levy, yes the disc has to be finalized before it can be viewed. Heard it on his radio show just this past weekend. sidenote: He also recommends that people -don't- buy the DVD camcorder due to its poorer quality of footage (already compressed). He continues to recommend the miniDV tape cameras (like we all like to use here).

I've been talking to others outside this forum (about this video) and I've got to say...at least from my perspective...you've got the correct take on the subject matter. Thanks for summing it up so well. It' nice when someone can sit back and look underneath the layers... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
