The Five Greatest Nuts of All Time
Image courtesy of EthicalCommunity.com
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.

Gray whale sighting in Mediterranean baffles scientists
A gray whale has been spotted in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel. Gray whales, thought to be extinct in the Atlantic Ocean – what to speak of the Mediterranean – are large baleen whales previously believed to only live in the North Pacific. From a BBC News report: Once, three major populations of gray (also spelt grey) whale existed: in the western and eastern North Pacific Ocean, and in the North Atlantic. However, the North Atlantic population of gray...
Shanghai threatened by rising seas; climate change
Shanghai, China: city of the future. But could Shanghai’s future include increased flooding and dangerously high water levels? Flooding is always a hazard for low altitude coastal cities. Shanghai sits at only three meters – or ten feet – above sea level, as do other world metropolises also threatened by higher waters, such as New York, London, Miami, Tokyo, Mumbai and Amsterdam. Perhaps they should call it ‘Shang-low’. But seriously, rising sea levels are no joke. Warming temperatures due to climate...

Meat products and animal products such as milk and eggs, may have some residual amounts of veterinary drugs which...
Little Girls and Water Bottles Don’t Mix
The idea of bottled water started as a crazy idea. Then it became the latest craze. Now it seems to be driving little girls crazy; literally. Water bottles contain an organic compound called Bisphenol A, or BPA for short. A recent study published by Environmental Health Perspectives found that little girls who have heavy exposure to the BPA compound develop an increase in aggression and hyperactivity. The scary thing is most of the exposure was through prenatal transmission. The study took...

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…….
