Hi: I'm located in Seattle with a maritime climate. I have a group of asian pears with no information as to an accurate brix chart readings. Could anyone...
Hi All, Any raw vegans on this group that have tried the 80/10/10 diet or 811rv? The general idea of it is to eat two large fruit meals per day followed by a...
Say goodbye to your teeth. I did this diet for close to 2 years. Veganism doesn't really work, and low-fat is an absolute disaster. Dr. Graham is and idiot...
... Guys, this group really is about food quality and we are stepping off the end of the gangplank when we shift over to dietary fads. We have raw meat eaters...

Mike, This is the new frontier in nutrition. The article you cite is one I wrote. The one conclusion I have come to is that the USDA database very closely ...
Hi Jon, this brings up some intriguing prospects. I am interested in knowing how the vitamin contents of vegetables were discovered if indeed the cost is...

Here is a photo of a non-rotting tomato that Lana, a former member of this, list exhibited on another list. Although she was wanting folks to understand why...
Hi all! I just went back to mail on this group. I would like to brix this tomato, but I don't want to break the skin and risk contaminating it. I didn't...
I guess this tomato doesn't have those coatings... because the black spots you are asking about are sprouts! I've been dying for them to break the skin so I...
Make that 100% certain. I sat it atop a flashlight and they are definately sprouts. Tried to get some better pics, but my digicam just doesn't seem to be up...
Lana, ... accurate reading? I was thinking the seeds growing in it might have changed the brix. I've never seen seeds grow inside one of my tomatoes. Just...
Kris, ... the USDA tables is some kind of average. The nutrients in high brix foods would vary a lot from one food to the next, all be it they would be higher...
For some reason, this message never ended up in my inbox? (I found it on the yahoo site.) I added two new pictures of the tomato - one with the skin removed...
I had a tomato I bought, just a conventional one from the local grocery store about 8 years ago, that the seeds had sprouted inside. I noticed them when I cut...
Here's a couple of websites I found when I googled for sprouted tomatoes. They have pretty good pics, but their not nearly as far along as Lana's. The purdue...
Interesting! Now I know why I've never seen seeds sprouting in tomatoes. Not really a good sign. It's amazing what you can find on the web! Thanks for looking...
