Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 ---The first post didn't come thru in a timely manner so I thot it was lost. Sorry about the impatience. I sometimes wondered how Heidi could send 3 or 4 messages all within the same minute. And now I did it! That word " full " is a bit nebulous (as in vague)don't you think?

That word " full " is a bit nebulous (as in vague)don't you think? >Dennis " Nutrient " is nebulous too ... nutrient - any substance that can be metabolized by an organism to give energy and build tissue for instance: -- sugar is a nutrient -- protein is a nutrient -- trans fat is a nutrient -- other fats are nutrients -- vitamins are nutrients -- minerals are nutrients (? maybe? are they metabolized?) -- fiber is not a nutrient So which counts more, a food that is full of sugar (lots of good calories!) or a food that is full of good fats? Or one that is full of minerals? Or do vitamins count more than minerals? In regard to the " high quality soils " issue ... you can grow food that is high in sugar or starch, or is it better to have more minerals? Does fast-digesting starch count as more or less nutritious that slow-digesting starch? If the food has an allergen or substance that prevents digestion, is it then less nutritious? What if that substance only affects some people? If a certain soil increases protein content but decreases starch content, is that a good thing or a bad thing? I think in the normal lingo we are using the word " nutritious " to mean " good for you " but that is a really broad kind of definition (esp. since people disagree over " good for you " too! -- Heidi (throwing monkeywrenches ... ;--) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
