... Jay, Not quite. It is an abstract. Abstracts are notoriously wrong, sometimes even intentionally misrepresenting the study. It is sheer folly to draw any...

Tom, I hate to get technical, but Vitamin A is found only in animal products. We use the concept of vitamin A in fruits and vegetables very carelessly, and how...
Kris: "Vitamin A is only found in animal products". I was under the impression that carrots for instance as well as dark greens are loaded with vitamin A....

... Justin, No it doesn't. That we can't know until the full study is read. ... It could be misleading or the researchers could simply be mistaken. This...
... Preformed vitamin A is found only in animal foods. The carotenes in plant foods are *precursors* to vitamin A and thus they must be converted in the body...
Laurie, you're welcome to join and post but the group deserves some background on the most famous skeptic in the Kingdom of Brix. :) Folks, Laurie is a...
There were some comments to my message (pasted below), but no one posted any references to their assertions. I agree that high Brix tastes better to both cows...

Tom, Unfortunately calling beta-carotene vitamin A is standard practice in the nutrition world - it simplifies things! There is a conversion factor they use to...
Sylvia, That very common error in thinking is why I mentioned the fact. There is no true vitamin A in carrots or dark green vegetables - only the precurser...
Hi Jay, A question for you. Are you a genuine seeker of truth? If you are you will find that many times truth lies outside of higher education sponsored ...
On Wed, 30 Nov 2005 16:30:03 -0500, manoreason1 <manoreason@...> ... And why not ALWAYS. What are the 3 possibilities? I think there can only be the...
Kris, ... And if you want to get even more technical, it's not even a vitamin since the body makes it. Vitamins are supposed to be substances that the body...
... Laurie, Is this true? I haven't bought a brixmeter yet (it's on my Christmas list!) but once I get one I'm very interested in testing this concept out...
Mr. Frank, I am a genuine seeker of truth, are you? All I am asking for here is for someone to show any objective testings that this higher Brix (sugar)...
On Fri, 02 Dec 2005 16:29:13 -0500, Jay Caplan ... Sorry about that, but Laurie has proved to me that he knows nothing about farming, animal feeding, or any...
... Thanks. A couple of quote from the paper, and my comments: "Results showed that from all plots and experimentation, carotenoid content decreased during...
Laurie, So Laurie to clarify what you are saying. Reams says that high quality food for humans should be high in brix and that high brix food is the most...
... Note: Justin was kind enough to privately forward me the reference to his post that never made it to my mailbox. For whatever reason it disappeared into...
Children and plenty of adults can eat all kinds of beta carotene and still be vitamin A deficient, because they don't make the conversion readily. Hence it is...
Hello Rex, Been reading all the "oddments" about brix and science argument. Arden Andersen says that scientist cannot get a good brix reading with NPK...
Forest, ... but that is correct ONLY if ALL solutes have exactly the same light-bending attributes, and since that is highly unlikely, that all-inclusive claim...
