The Five Greatest Nuts of All Time

You have to be nuts not to be eating nuts (pun intended)! Nuts are super-nutritious for you, easy to carry around, and delicious. With so many varieties of them, it’s hard to tell which ones are the cream-of-the-crop when it comes to nutritional punch.
We did the research, and we picked out the 5 “core” nuts that you should be eating daily to give you that daily punch you need for maximum energy at minimum cost.
Raw Almonds
Want to have “wolverine” like energy? Take about 40 raw almonds a day. Avoid the salted kind.
Brazil Nuts
Brazil nuts cover your daily selenium (a powerful antioxidant) requirements by 7 fold. No, literally! One ounce of brazil nuts will cover your track by 777%. Are you feeling lucky?
Cashews
Asides from being able to use cashews for stir fry dishes and other delicious meals, cashews are heart-friendly. Low fat content, and the fat that is contained is of extreme health benefit to the heart.
Walnuts
Also super good for the heart and circulation.
Hazelnuts
Good as a source for Vitamin and generally good for the heart and muscles.

Greenwashing: Do You Know a Real Green Label from a False One?
By now, we all know of those pesky businesses that partake in greenwashing—claiming their product is green, organic, or eco-friendly without much proof. If you aren’t familiar with greenwashing, then you might want to familiarize yourself with the Seven Sins of Greenwashing. However, while the sins cover careful label reading and researching on products and companies, this article is to offer help on one particular sin: The Sin of Worshipping False Labels. When you shop for green products, you’ll most likely...
Whaling Compromise Reaches a Dead End at Florida Talks
Last week, 25 nations met in Florida to discuss ongoing whaling issues. The main focus of the meeting was a compromise that would allow Iceland, Japan and Norway to hunt whales openly (despite a 1986 ban on commercial whaling); but in turn the 3 nations would be required to greatly reduce their quotas over a 10-year period and their whaling activities would also be closely monitored by the IWC. The meeting resulted in absolutely nothing. No compromise was struck and...
Green Party party! UK Greens get first MP
In an historical UK election that has left many frustrated and probably no one satisfied, there was a silver – or if you'll forgive me – Green lining to the Conservative cloud that swept the nation. No, it wasn't named Clegg either, though one can only help that the Liberal Democrat Deputy Prime Minister will have a positive influence on the Cameron-led Conservative government. Caroline Lucas, head of the UK Green Party, made history by being the Party's first Member of...
Fall Foliage: Why Leaves Change Color and Other Useful Information
Fall is here, which means the leaves are starting to change color. This is the last season of color we get before the world turns to a drab white, brown, black and grey. It’s also one of the most spectacular times of the year to go for a hike. Whether you live near the Swiss Alps or the Rocky Mountains, sometimes nothing is more amazing than walking amongst the trees as their leaves turn to pumpkin orange, golden yellow, or...
Urine + Ash = Fertilizer?
One of the more strange methods of creating home-made fertilizer has come with some surprising results. A recent study conducted at the University of Kuopio in Finland showed that human urine combined with wood ash can help the growth of tomato crops. Separately, these two ingredients have been used in fertilizers for centuries, but no one ever thought of combining them until now. Surendra Pradhan and Helvi Heinonen-Tanski collected urine, stored it at 45 degrees F (23.4 C) for 6 months...
Climate conference highlights health and security
A series on meetings entitled ‘The Health and Security Perspectives of Climate Change – How to secure our future wellbeing’ was held yesterday in London at the headquarters of the British Medical Association. The view put forth by both human health and military experts at the conference is that climate change is the biggest current threat to both public health and security. Climate change is driving mass migration and resource depletion, both of which can cause and exacerbate armed conflict, as...
Severe Storms Attack Australia’s Coasts
It may have seemed like the end of the world for residents of Perth, Australia, this week. At least 160,000 people were left without power on Tuesday as golf ball-sized hailstones, floods and landslides attacked the town. Falling trees took out power lines and damaged homes, while flood waters ran into hospitals and schools. Some patients even had to be evacuated from one hospital’s emergency room after the roof collapsed. Colin Barnett, premier of Western Australia, figured the damage bill to...
BPA is Lurking in More Than Plastic Bottles–You May Be Surprised Where
We’ve all heard that BPA is bad for us, that we shouldn’t use any product—especially plastic bottles—that may contain BPA, and that we definitely shouldn’t expose infants or toddlers to BPA products, either. BPA, or Bisphenol A, has been linked to cancer, thyroid issues, obesity, neurological issues, and can even affect the growth, development and reproduction cycles of marine species. Given this knowledge, many people probably figure that all you have to do is avoid the plastic products that contain...

New PETA campaign: don’t buy dogs!
Ethically it always bothered me that dogs are for sale. Even being a “dog owner” annoys me. Often, when I talk about our Labrador Flex, I’ll refer to myself and my husband as his “baasjes”, a common Dutch denominator that is hard to translate but means something like “little bosses of”. And that’s how I see us, as the people responsible for his well being, health and happiness. Although I know he has no “real” freedom and is in essence...

wow I love nuts….When I was a kid coz I really love eating nuts , I had numerous anecdotes about nuts,
In our ancestral home the house was surrounded by many different fruit bearing trees and one of those is the cashew tree ( local name-kasoy ). I was only 5 years old then, and I’ve observed well, I’ve noticed that after my aunts and cousins finished eating the cashew fleshy fruit they would gather all the seeds into a net bag and hanged it to the pantry near the furnace like oven.
I could not keep my eyes off those seeds, which I think was weighing less than 5 kilos hanging just there untouched. One morning when my grandmother was feeding the coop they were 50 of them, along with 10 hens. Out of my cravings for those cashew nuts , I’ve roasted 10 pcs. all of a sudden, I’ve heard commotions and my grand mother was yelling and running towards me and took all the cashew nuts off the amber and placed it inside a bucket full of water and covered it fast..
As a kid I was horrified and asking myself what was going on, and what trouble did I make at the time. I was totally clueless coz no one ever told me that the fume of the roasted cashew nuts is a poison for the chicken. It’s like a tear-gas. that night I was so guilty coz one chicken had died…….
