Welcome to to the wonderful world of pickled foods!

That sandwich may be called the Reuben, difficult to resist but it's been years for myself. I'd have to make it homemade to have it again, substitute the dressing etc.

Us gardeners love to pickle our leftover crop. The one thing i never figured out is what nutrients may be lost or negatively altered in the pickling process ... the Dehydroascorbic & Ascorbic acid and B-vitamins in peppers? The excellent Thiamine in garlic? The chemical reactions Sulphur may undergo in the jar?

When used for cooking, it was noted that bell pepper prevented the oxidation of essential fatty acids

Interesting and useful to know if true.

Also, different colored peppers bring different benefits, and they look nice in the jar that way too.

Edit: freezing peppers:

Apparently freezing peppers reduced it's Vit-C content just a little bit, the blanching process did not. I don't ever recall hearing of diketogulonic acid (DKGA)?

@yerrag Sorry to hear about your troubles, I wish you well and a quick recovery!

Never trust GenAI about nuanced, subtle, or fuzzy topics. GenAI doesn't think or reason; it just makes statistical inferences between words.

In technical terms, fennel seeds can increase serotonin, but practically not - the amounts are insignificant!
(It is about weak MAO inhibitions)

The most probable mechanism is significantly increasing GABA, which should help with deep sleep.

BTW be careful with fennel it can also increase estrogen...

Substances known to potentially lower serotonin: S. Boulardii, lavender, Shilajit, beta-alanine, Ca, Mg, glycine, lysine, Tyrosine/DLPA + BCAA, Aspirin, vitamin B9, B1, quinones, caffeine, creatine, Schisandra, inosine, theanine, propolis, Siberian ginseng, PRL-8-53, LSD, and Manganese; avoiding PUFAs…

@Insomniac

I've long considered the benefit or harm from mere increasing or lowering of bp to be dependent on context. People in relative good health worry about rising BP, only to realize they haven't yet experienced the other side of the coin in poor health, where low BP is what needs to be concerned about.

MB causing high BP is more s function of MB increasing metabolism, and when that happens, there isn't much to be concerned about.

@xpat NAC helps as it thins the mucus and makes it less sticky and much more easily expelled or coughed out. As NAC increases the sulfhydryl bonds that make up GSH (or reduced glutathione), and when the GSH/GSSG ratio increases, the mucus becomes thinner and there is less resistance to the mucus being expelled or expectorated.

@Butter-Girl

Well said. I can't add much to what you said.

@jhp said in Is it true that the Book of Talmud is Not Translated Into English?:

careful goys, the forum is run by one of G-d's chosen people

I see him as as a kind person. I don't see him to be entitled as to consider Gentiles as less in the totem pole. Jesus himself is a Jew, so should I be careful lest I incur His ire? He himself was critical on some of his own tribe. Especially those in priestly garments. They make a mockery of the law. Then as now they use the "rule of law" not to serve man, but use men to serve their law.

@ThinPicking no real need for sodium. Taiwan already has moped battery swaps. The US is not doing it because of clinging to old culture. It's "gay" not to try to rescue the regular way of life.

Sodium will probably have the same specific energy once composite electrolyte is implemented.

His insights are quite novel and extraordinary

They certainly are.

@brad

and all posters that use both the app and a browser off your desktop pc-

the app lets you continue as another paragraph in the same post when you hit the "enter," so you can easily amass a long post, while, OTOH...

the browser treats the "enter" key as the end of a post, so the next character types begins a new post, so long posts don't happen (unless you want to write a very long paragraph devoid of a line break)

I was using my cellphone app when I exceeded the previously set character limit, but when I began using the chrome browser on my desktop PC to access the forum, I found myself writing many short posts instead of a single post that is very long.

But this doesn't seem to just be a browser on PC characteristic, when I use Telegram or Viber, the 'enter' key terminates a post and begins a new one as well.

@peatolish Thanks. Glad that it;s still around.

Her smart way of eating can also mean normies in the past have been wrongly enjoying the food that have kept them healthy and long lived while their blood sugar is spiking all over the place to no effect in getting overweight and obese:
