CELL MEMBRANES. "Every cell in your body is surrounded by a cell membrane, a thin, flexible wall made of fatty molecules that maintains the integrity of the nucleus and the rest of the cell's interior. Cells need a way to take in nutrients and expel waste across the membrane, and generally this involves lodging special proteins in the membrane. These proteins form holes that can open and close, acting as gateways to the interior." https://lnkd.in/e2sriga View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE this weekend is about cell membranes, related to soap bubbles and also to structured EZ water from the previous two Fragment postings. Cell membranes are often overlooked as some type of bag, whereas they are dynamic, complex and fascination preconditions to the life of every cell. View in LinkedIn

CHILDREN'S CHEWABLE VITAMIN C (Nature's Plus): free of additives, colors or preservatives etc etc. Number one listed ingredient: fructose. Go figure. View in LinkedIn

WHEN A SOCIETY knowingly poisons its children without reason, and does nothing to prevent it, perhaps then it deserves the awful consequences. There is barely a factory food nor personal care product that is free of toxins. View in LinkedIn

EAT SMART. "This is why the idea that you can lose weight by counting calories simply doesn't work. After fructose, other sugars and grains are likely the most excessively consumed food that promotes weight gain and chronic disease. This also includes food items that are typically viewed as healthy, such as fruit juice or even large amounts of high fructose fruits." https://lnkd.in/exrg2Cj View in LinkedIn

TREACLE GUTS. "The average American consumes 1/3 of a pound of sugar a day. That's five ounces or 150 grams, half of which is fructose, which is 300 percent more than the amount that will trigger biochemical havoc. And many Americans consume more than twice that amount!" https://lnkd.in/exrg2Cj View in LinkedIn

PERFECT STORM. "The societal changes over the past 60 years or so have created what amounts to a perfect storm; a confluence of dramatically altered food environment combined with reduced physical exertion and increased exposure to, and consumption of, a wide array of industrial and agricultural chemicals that have a detrimental impact on the human biochemistry." https://lnkd.in/exrg2Cj View in LinkedIn

"ATWATER FACTORS were inaccurate with low-fat, high-fiber diets. Although modified Atwater factors may be accurate under standardized conditions of zero-nitrogen and zero-energy balance, they overestimate energy availability from high-fiber fruit and vegetable and cereal diets when food intake is reduced spontaneously in addition to when intake is reduced voluntarily." http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/86/6/1649.full View in LinkedIn

THE ATWATER SYSTEM. "Caloric values are calculated by the Atwater System, a 100 year old method, that recent research shows can be inaccurate by up to 50%. It treats all foods as the same, which is not true." Like the RDU for vitamins, it needs updating. https://lnkd.in/erqrSbY View in LinkedIn
