Hey Tamukha,
A little bit of analysis before you jump to any conclusions might be beneficial
From the text:
The Department of Food and Agriculture tested the product and determined that the claim was true, but didn't order the company to take its product off the organic market until January 2007. "As a result," according to the SacBee, "some of California's 2006 harvest o

Hey Jodi,
I believe in a God, which we may call Bob, that killed your God, and all the other thousands of competing Gods, yesterday.
Please prove me wrong.
I hope this absurd example settles the issue on who has to come up with the burden of proof when making a claim.

Leafy greens have everything you can think of and more.
Beta-Carotene, Vitamin C and Vitamin K are anti-inflammatory, as are Omega-3 fatty acids, all of which are found in dark green leafy vegetables. They also contain many phytochemicals which are anti-inflammatory. Apples contain substances like quercetin, another phytochemical which is anti-inflammatory.
There is more information here a

No, of course not Jodi, it doesn't work that way. Think about all the silly things (like the Flying Spaghetti Monster) that people can postulate and can never be proved false.
You start with NOTHING, and have to prove EVERY assertion you make about the world. That is the rational approach which makes sense.
You can't prove a negative. You can only prove a positive. You assume a negative un

Hehe, that's a funny one arugula
Apparently, there's already been a schism in the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster", mirroring what happens in other religions pretty well.
More seriously, the point is well made, and should be obvious: if you are going to postulate that something exists (ie God), then it is up to YOU to come up with the burden of proof of that assertion, no

Hey veronique,
What you're dealing with sounds pretty serious, wish you all the best. Let me know if you need any more brainstorming or something. I can't really do much with the black soot at the moment, but I think next year I will move slightly closer to work, and start biking there. Lots of people do that already, its quite a cool place to work in that way. Our financial controller told me

Thanks bud, it was very interesting to learn about the extent of bromide spraying on fruits and vegetables, which competes with iodine for absorption in the body, and aggravates the iodine deficiency problem. Lots of other interesting parts too.

Yep, presently work in London, which is much more polluted than back in Durham. I notice I get black soot type stuff in my mucus from riding the tube, as does everyone else that uses it regularly for commuting. that's something I'm not very happy about. Our offices are very central, and very noisy too. I often have to listen to music to drown out this background noise so I can focus. We are actua

Hey Rocket,
Sorry to hear about that, hope you feel better soon. I would suggest wearing some kind of brace, if you're not already. As for natural pain relievers, the usual suspects seem to be best; dark green leafy vegetables. Try juicing broccoli, spinach and apple, for example. Finally, the mental aspect is quite important, maybe more so than you think. The perception of pain is largely a m

Hey arugula,
Nice to hear you are helping out those kids, they are very lucky to have you. Wish you all the best. I was curious about this comment you made above
Parts of your body are self-repairing, but not kidneys.
I wasn't aware of this, but perhaps you are referring to a specific type of damage? I thought one could allow for some healing to occur in at least some cases by reducing

Hey music bebe,
Sorry to hear about your ordeal, hope you feel better soon.
Here a list of vegetables high in iron
Fruits high in iron
And nuts/seeds high in iron
Remember that iron absorption is greatly increased by consuming plenty of vitamin c rich foods too.

17. Re: Physics Fun
Hey lightform,
Jose, to me this phenomenon illustrates our connectedness with the whole universe. It appears to demonstrate that our material world only exists as an aspect of the consciousness percieving it.. i.e you and I. To me, this is the same as saying "that I am what is everywhere", and that the concept of being this individual human body is just an idea. To me, this also su

Hey raw1228,
Hope you find your inner happiness. Alone is not a bad thing, we are our own best friend. Drunk is just a temporary state, it does not define who you are, or who you will or can be. Family is important, and can take many forms. Open your heart to the avenues that you think will make you happy, and your family will be a large one.
Best wishes to everyone,
J

I just saw that you posed me a question a long time ago which I never replied too. It needs some time so will do it soon.
For now, just wanted to post these interesting articles about how physicists and mathematicians have developed the art of origami into something with many interesting and varied applications. In many ways I believe physics and maths can only add to artisti

Hey sunshine79,
I definitely agree that minerals are a very important factor to good health, and generally lacking in people at large. It would be great to look into it in more detail, I'm sure there have already been many studies looking at minerals in relation to malnutrition, establishing sensible RDAs, etc... One of my vague longer term projects is to look at these things in more depth fro

27. Re: i love
Life without justice does seem more hollow, devoid of substance.
It might be argued that justice is to a large extent an emotional need, an ego driven response.
A search for order, a reassurance.
A quixotic duel with natures capricious whim.
On the contrary it might be argued that justice is the noblest of pursuits.
An almost physical law unto itself.
