Date: June 26, 2007 10:26PM Rosemary, your post reminded me of something kind of funny.
When our cat was still alive, he used to LOVE papaya seeds! He'd come after us every time we'd cut open a papaya. He didn't like the flesh or the skin - just the seeds! I don't care for them much myself, but I do remember hearing they were effective for birth control. That's just hearsay though, so definitely don't depend on it! Edited 1 time(s).

Date: June 29, 2007 09:13PM Rosemary, where do you get Hunza apricots? Are they at markets? I've read about the Hunzas and how they use the apricot kernels as a staple in their diets.
I remember reading that the Hunzas string apricot seeds and wear them around their necks to eat all day as they're working. The Hunzas are generally considered to one of the oldest living populations in the world! I agree with Bryan. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/29/2007 09:14PM by suncloud.
