"pfjw@aol.com" <peterwieck33@gmail.com>: Nov 26 11:01AM -0800 A banana is an edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa.

That number is almost 1% of the dry weight of the banana--if the soil isn't rich in potassium, where is it going to come from?   Cheers   Phil Hobbs   -- Dr Philip C D Hobbs Principal Consultant ElectroOptical Innovations LLC / Hobbs ElectroOptics Optics, Electro-optics, Photonics, Analog Electronics Briarcliff Manor NY 10510   http://electrooptical.net http://hobbs-eo.com

The obscene medical costs in the US, WHO GETS THAT MONEY ?   Reputable scientific sources recognize 24 minerals as essential, that means needed, for human life. Potassium is one that we need alot of, and it is a good thing that ALL plants have alot of it. sodium, at needing about 600-700 mg. is another large requirement, if you don't get enough, other than fainting spells guess what you got - HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. Fancy that.   It is not dodgy but the real information is hard to find. I have a database on the subject with those references at the bottom, the little numbers etc., and I checked out a few and they were legit. So there is no bullshit here. In fact even the USDA recognizes those same 24 as essential but they do not publicize it. You guess why, that instead of telling people what they really need they would rather push carbs and allow things that run up the heart disease and diabetes rates.   >"Nutrition 'science' is largely a cargo cult."   Well I am 58 and my health does nothing but improve and I eat a variety of foods, based on my theories of mineral nutrition. I drink bacon grease and use buckets of salt, eat fat and all that shit and my numbers would make a soy boy drool in his alfalfa sprouts. I mean BP like 115/60, cholesterol 138 at 1.89, (that's right one point eight nine) and about seven months after the accident I beat their stress test and didn't hit target heart rate with everything they could throw at me. I don't get sick, my back only hurts where there is a fracture at L1 from the fall, and I have again started to shadow box with hand weights, used to use 15s but now use 10s. The 15s got broken actually... And I still have all my teethe and hair. Very little gray. (I think it was tin (Sn) deficiency that turns hair gray as well as affects the hearing. My hearing DOES suck though but I used to listen at 136dB for a long time. (I shit you not) My eyesight always sucked.   Many years ago I lived on fast food, pizza n shit and my knees were so bad I couldn't walk DOWN a flight of steps without excruciating pain, I also had chronic back problems. Once I learned how to really eat right, and the USDA has no clue, I improved drastically. Even my roids are about gone. The only broken bones I have ever had, despite the fights, car wrecks and all that shit were ribs and fingers. I used to lay on the floor and have a full grown Man stand on my chest as I smoked a cigarette. I used to work out with a cigarette or a joint in my mouth hitting it, not breathing as "they" say and now my ECG shows a prolonged QT, I don't know if that caused it or not, but it is possible. With my BP, the pulse pressure is so high it's like I have the heart of a 19 year old, and up until recently when I got a hardon I could probably hang ten pound on it.   If I had done what "they" say,I would have had knee replacements, possibly even hips, fused vertebrae, root canal and all the other shit Men my age need.   But I don't.   If you want my database email me and I'll send you a ZIP file with 25 web pages in it all written in HTML1, no chance of a virus or anything, not one character that wouldn't show up properly in Notepad.   Then you can decide who to believe.

I couldn't find anything specific on the equipment or methods that the FDA uses to populate the ubiquitous nutrition facts label except that its derived from a database maintained by the US Dept of Agriculture: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrition_facts_label> <https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/> Only 928 different banana foods lists. Ugh. Selecting a raw banana from the list, I find: <https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/09040?fgcd=&manu=&format=&count=&max=25&offset=&sort=default&order=asc&qlookup=banana&ds=&qt=&qp=&qa=&qn=&q=&ing=> containing Potassium between 290mg and 806mg per 100gram banana depending on how it's pre-processed. Click on "full report" button for a list of accepted values and long lists of data sources.   A similar discussion: "How do they measure the nutritional data of food? How accurate are the labels?" <https://www.quora.com/How-do-they-measure-the-nutritional-data-of-food-How-accurate-are-the-labels> <https://www.quora.com/How-are-the-nutrition-facts-on-food-labels-verified> In the majority of cases, the producer of a food product looks up each of the ingredients in a food database, and determine the nutritional contribution of each ingredient in the recipe based on it's weight. The USDA maintains a large database of foods (raw and processed) for reference.   Perhaps you're correct. The USDA data might be garbage, assuming the database was originally populated with inaccurate data, and that no effort has been made to fix the problem. Maybe just add a few more significant figures to the data so that it looks more accurate.   Banana: <https://www.checkyourfood.com/ingredients/ingredient/62/banana> Not high in potassium as popularly thought but still good for your immune system and mood.

jurb6006@gmail.com: Nov 27 07:14AM -0800 >"Rodale died on-camera just after claiming he would live to be 100. "   You mean Dr. R.J. Rodale ? Well he was wrong.   If he can be wrong so can others.   If this is the one I am thinking of he was into purity and no additives and all that shit, and one day he started getting dizzy spells. Supposedly found out that a neighboring farmer had used pesticides on his crops and the fumes or whatever were affecting him adversely.   Avoiding all the poisons without paying careful attention to what you DO need to eat is not going to work. And all the poisons are not avoidable so forget it - to a point. Still avoid GMOs but not because you might grow a third arm or some shit, but because GMOs are developed pretty much to survive more potent poisons, i.e. pesticides. That would specifically be glysophate or however they spell it. Those vegetables grown with that shit all over the are porous which means it will soak in and there is no way to wash it off. It is a known carcinogen. In fact that was found a long time ago but Monsanto had the research quashed. The current class action lawsuit serves them right and I hope they lose big, motherfuckers don't care if they kill us to make money. That pesticide also wrecks the soil for non GMO crops. The residue will kill anything not GMOed to survive it.   If you are healthy, and that means like up to 70 trace minerals in the proper proportion, you can withstand many additives n shit, but not Monsanto's poison.

Phil   Does this apply to TV interference too? My TV works only on some channels and the rest show "no signal" or severe pixellation. Also, the trouble is intermittent. What can I do? Is there some sort of filter to fix it?

Look165 <look165@numericable.fr>: Nov 27 10:17AM +0100 I thought AM was released on the prehistoric era !   Anyway, perturbations might come from AC mains, solar eruption, neighborhood electric signals, HV lines, AC generator...   To be sure, try to move this AM receiver somewhere else (a friend ?)   Don't forget to check the antenna and/or the orientation of the receiver.   Sometimes, a single 1m wire hanging downward is a good antenna.   Another experiment is to move the receiver near the TV cable disconnected fromthe TV set.   Since it is an old apparatus, it might be a misalignment of the receiving part and/or IF section.   A simple cause can also be the loudspeaker (visual check is generally enough).   If you are lucky, there can be the electric diagram inside.   Peter Jason a écrit :

You need a larger antenna, raise the elevation of the antenna, amplification, or moving nearer to the TV transmitter..

Look165 <look165@numericable.fr>: Nov 27 03:26PM +0100 No, no relation between AM and TV   For TV check the antenna.   As I said, try it somewhere else.   For the AM receiver, it must be a failure of the AM set (Receiver and IF section) ; with time (48 years) some inductanes change their value and condensators too.   John-Del a écrit :

"Paul Hovnanian P.E." <paul@hovnanian.com>: Nov 26 08:50PM -0800 I've done a couple of them. As long as there is no need to repair or replace the cone or detach it from the coil or spider (I think it's called), I didn't have to shim the coil. The spider held it centered well enough that as long as no lateral load was placed on the cone during the foam glue setup, the air gap remained OK.   -- Paul Hovnanian mailto:Paul@Hovnanian.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than the men who mention it.
