in 1993 i stumbled upon the following in " nutritional influence on health", by dr. m. werback, ucla school of medicine and gave it to the wto, dr. carlton, chief of staff wallkill infirmary :.
ingestion of 100 grams of orange juice significantly decreased the phagocytic index in humans.. .
the study went on (in lay terms): after 5 hours of drinking orange juice, control subjects still showed immune cells (that engulf and digest bacteria ) had not gained original speed of activity.. orange juice increases the chance of infection.
I think too much of "anything" is, at a minimum, not good for you. I heard not that long ago that drinking too much water can dilute your fluids too much. So maybe everything actually isbad for you.

I hate how these things keep changing.

by now many of you know i'm studying wicca, am in contact with a high priestess of a coven who's graciously answering many questions i have, and i'm also studying tarot cards online.. this past weekend the exercise with lesson three on the tarot was to do some sample readings.
some odd things have happened since then.
i bolded them for easier finding.. since then, my youngest daughter and i have heard a scratching sound that i took to be birds on the spouting, though we couldn't see it.
SATAN
Sorry but demonz and spiritz don't seem any more real than God to me.
my compultion is locks.
whenever i leave my house i have to turn the doorknob two, three, four and even five times to make sure it is locked.
i have done it so much that my door knob is getting loose.
I can do odd O/C things now and then. But I had a girlfriend with a mild form of OCD:
She sometimes carried hand sanitizer and washed hands as soon as she got in.
Didn't like to touch metal (unless handcuffs ) especially anything rusty.
Didn't like to touch cold, wet foods or any food in the sink.
Arranged movies categorically and alphabetically (of course she had a lot).
Arranged clothes categorically and chromatically.
Liked bottle labels all pointing forward.
Didn't like her routine being messed with and often needed to "emotionally prepare" for certain things.
Drove me nuts sometimes!
ok yesterday i was talking to my dad (moe's thread reminded me) he said something about how bad satan was...and said, yeah but "wasn't it eve and adam's fault?
i mean yeah satan laid out the sales pitch but they could have said no.
you know gone home, talked it over with god, it wasn't even that high pressured a sales pitch.
Joe Alward: If the god described in the Bible exists, then that god evidently just decided not to know the future--all of it, in order to give man free will.
Joe, does knowledge remove free will? What of the prophetic nature of the Bible? Or does God not know the future, but just shape it the way he wants?
Personally, I agree with Funky's 1a, that the Bible suggests:
God is omnipotent and could have created Adam and Eve in a way that they would not sin, and still retain free will but chose not to do so.Not only did he choose not to create them in a way that would avoid sin, he purposely placed a catalyst before them (The Tree) so they would fail soon after. Same goes for Satan.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE047!!!
Downer post for a birthday though.I strongly believe that the meaning to life is what we individually want it to be. If you feel that contributing to the world brings more meaning to your existance, there are plenty of volunteer programs that you can help with.
