ORAC midnight madness
G'day G'day Folks, When I looked in the fridge I had the passing thought, "How many prunes would one need to eat to get one's entire recommended ORAC intake for the day?" The suggested intake is 3000 to 5000 ORAC units per day with a US official suggesting adults should endeavour to get 3500 per day. The... 6 Feb 2006 14:09

Rich Murray causes insanity, depression, madness and obsession with foil-clad headgear :-)
Seriously, though, this nutcase is doing here what he did on one UL forum some years back -- he's talking at us instead of with us. Since he clearly doesn't respect our views, why does he expect us to respect his? And am I the only one who reckons that his flooding these two NGs with frequent (and long, and bor... 19 Jan 2006 16:35

Elegant food
G'day G'day Folks, This morning for breakfast I had some yoghurt with a few hazelnuts and a couple of tiny Mission dried black figs. We had, had a friend dining with us a couple of nights ago and had served some pickled manderins (manderine oranges) in a raw fruit salad; green melon and a little pineapple. ... 20 Jan 2006 14:30

Dr. says my iron is low
If things don't apply to me at the time, I don't really pay attention, so if this is a common subject, forgive me. But my dr. says my iron is low and that I should take an iron supplement. I am a meat eater & so I'm a little confused about this. Is this another thing that some diabetes go through? I haven't ... 13 Jan 2006 19:16

Need protein ideas.
Now that I know of my food allergies, egg (severe), milk (and all dairy) and almonds, these things are out of the question. My typical breakfast had been cottage cheese. I quit eating eggs shortly after Thanskgiving because I seemed to be having violent reactions to them. Now I know why! At any rate, I am stum... 13 Jan 2006 16:40

Itchy lower legs
For well over a decade, possibly two decades, I've suffered from occasional bouts of very itchy lower legs and ankles, which in the right foot also spreads to the upper surface of that foot. Scratching makes it much worse. It will persist for days, sometimes weeks, and then disappear for months. For years I tried... 12 Jan 2006 19:47

SORE FEET - Newbie
Hi all, My name is Graham. I am 49 and live in Adelaide, South Australia. I was diagnosed with Type 2 about 8 months ago and take 2mg ofAmaryl a day. I have been having problems with my feet. Initially, I thought that the pain was due to my new job, where I stand all day. The pain became localised and so I ... 12 Jan 2006 14:34

A miracle!!
When my daughter came in yesterday with a wonderfully-smelling bag of warm cinnamon donuts, I just had to do the experiment. This would have to be my favourite food (even better than super supreme pizza with anchovies, fried ice cream or fish'n'chips from Doyles at Watsons Bay - Sydney folk will understand the last... 5 Jan 2006 01:59

FREE METERS AND STRIPS
I already tried posting this once, so here's the short version. I have two new in box Ascensia Contour Meters new in box, as well as one slightly used Ascensia Contour Meter that I'd like to give to someone who maybe doesn't have insurance and is in need of a meter to test. I'd include some strips with the meter... 9 Jan 2006 17:32
