Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 I'm by no means an expert and I've no studies to back me up but here's what I think: In a message dated 4/6/02 10:13:15 AM Central Standard Time, meuritt@... writes: > There is a lot of information out there about the negative effects of > milk.

Your Swede ate a traditional diet which would have included milk products in his foods. He might not drink a glass of milk but what was his cheese made of? I doubt it was soy! <G> One hint from a Finn, don't argue with a Swede! The baby argument usually leads to the " we are the only adult mammals who drink milk " which of course isn't true. All you need for that one is a trip to the dairy at milking time to see the cats trying to claw their way in.

Was your gymnast from Europe? I lived there for 10 years and the children I saw drank milk and water where the children I see here in the USA drink pop and juice. I think the sugar in the American child's diet is the problem. It was something I noticed while living in Finland and visiting the States. Lots of sugar, all over everything, things were too sweet for me after living in Europe for a while. > > So, what is the scoop on these two item.

Sure, you can use the heating mat for anything that needs a constant warm temperature to ferment/culture/incubate. So far I'm only using it for kombucha, but I may well wind up adding some other things to the incubator. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
