Okay Is "person" the correct terminology for one with no caffeine tolerance? -

Hmmm i never delved into understanding soy lecithin, obviously many health freaks want to avoid it but its usually in such small quantities as to be irrelevant. Protein powders include some to prevent clumping yet some body-builders are so frightened of soy that manufacturers may elect to switch to sunflower lecithin. you're including a lot, it maybe warrants a bit of investigation...? and sorry, im still having a bit of an issue reconciling the dietary info i've gathered which aims for higher than average health with your goal of providing a degree of health to those who probably have unchecked diets and health problems. the studies where people eat tons of soy lecithin and receive x y benefits use a more refined product with less of the soy oil, more of the choline-whatever. hmmmmm you may use it on any of the three projects although feeding homeless isn't a cause im even slightly aligned to. the donation is for you to develop your own projects i guess. -
I dont mean to watch this or have an opinion, buuuuut, I saw on youtube that one of those crappy sunrise shows interviewed this director and tried lambasting her when it became evident they hadnt made any attempt to even watch the doco first!

i edited it out before posting but i was actually agreeing that such a format seems more realistic than chocolate... its more of an appropriate way to include different ingredients and create more of a nutritionally diverse snack -

ThunderIdeal replied to Alchemica's topic in Pharmacology, Chemistry & Medicine
been a while since i've looked at the ingredients since i personally shun this sort of thing nowadays (can't justify the prices)..... but bliss balls are composed primarily of stuff like ground nuts, almond meal, dates, and whatnot? its quite likely that instead of nut butter (yet another ingredient bereft of solid texture) you could decide on a seed or nut, whether or not it be roughly-ground... the chunkiness could come in handy to keep the thing together or provide crunch or whatever, PLUS, this provides your PUFA component in the healthiest way that i can think of. it's hard to go past chia seed as a superfood, don't recall the exact profile right this second.... not the easiest thing to incorporate in a delicious way though, especially if dry. -

and you can hawk them for like four dollars for something the size of your thumb! :D back to PUFAs, if you're gonna consume them, then in a mineral and antioxidant rich meal (such as you propose) is best. i can't help but think, all of the crap food that's everywhere is loaded with PUFA oils anyway, to the point that, ugh, you can hardly escape it if you try!!!!! nut butter would be the healthiest source. i would have to sniff around to determine which nut would be best. packaged nut butter is very expensive but it can be made cheaply i think. -

well, i'm not naysaying entirely. i'm suggesting that, an all-in-one super bar is a little optimistic even with money behind it. at least, in the case of commercial bars, they end up costing a lot of money for something the size of one bite, and having looked on the ingredients of many often going as far as sampling them, they usually have pretty major shortcomings. an obvious one is how to include significant protein (lets say no more than 40g since eating more than that at once poses an absoption problem). protein bars tend to eschew sugar, and the texture is dry and chewy. if you put a lot of fatty chocolate with it, that's going to go a long way to making it palatable if its done right. somewhere along the way it does need to be sweetened. since your target consumer is malnourished, rather than a fitness freak trying to reduce their calories, go for some kind of sugar why not? i dunno. i guess it's hard for me to get in the headspace of trying to improve the nutrition of somebody who doesn't eat properly. what is easier is honing in one one thing, like if you can say 'these people are all deficient in x, lets combat that specifically'. -

mmmm ^ gonna be a difficult undertaking i think. similar sorts of products on the market now are so expensive. i have doubts about this particular project. i mean the goal is to put dark chocolate in their bellies right? but how perfect can it be nutritionally with that as a starting point? maybe say "okay i'm putting dark chocolate in their bellies with all the benefits that bestows, and any other nutritional benefit i can work in there is a bonus". maybe focus on micronutrients that can feasibly be absorbed in the sitting? FWIW, and i don't know how this stacks up against alternatives, but blackstrap molasses is a liquid canesugar rich in minerals. -
Doctor Strangelove (1964) Dont let the date put you off like i nearly did. This black and white is entertaining and profound from start to finish, and while it was presented as a complete farce, history reveals it was more accurate than not. wow. so stimulating and entertaining. so, so very cool and novel. i'd really love to know how they managed to shoot some of those scenes here are the first two from director ilya which led to hardcore henry (nowhere near as good)

are you asking if we think that's a good idea, to create a cacao-based jar of superfood to be sold as food? i guess maybe? i sort of think people pursue a nutritious diet or they don't, and there are those in the middle of course... but i wonder.. is a single dose of superfood even going to have much benefit? ------- okay i've read the link and it makes more sense now. i have some input but it can be via pm. -

I know a little about glorious fats but don't let me lead your pharmacology astray ("yeah!" everyone shouts in unison) Not a fan of the hemp oil. rancidity can be an issue. Are PUFAs actually a good thing anyway? not in my books. Yes it has ALA if that somehow helps. You would want cold pressed and to consider storage requirements (no sunlight and suitable temp). Apparently these particular omega 6 acids are good for the skin! As for coconut oil thats the goodness right there, in my books. all saturated, very stable and two thirds MCT. but be sure to avoid like the plague any refined coconut oil. -

Coconut milk/cream? Pure MCT, if you accidentally get some in your mouth, is a kind of off-putting tasteless! -

Ahh! Now that makes sense to me as a starting point. That stuff can show you what it means to be a human. the synnergy between the chocolate and other things is beyond my ken. The heart is a tricky thing especially for those who operate from the head as their default mode. Even though i can summon thoughtfulness, empathy, generosity and guarded intimacy, i've often felt that to live through one's heart would be truly worthwhile...but it doesn't come naturally for me at all. I identify as my mind, yet, from a spiritual viewpoint or maybe even looking at the nervous system, the heart unites our powerful, resilient, martial, physical, sexual, surviving, thriving grounded beast of the earth nature with the yearning, learning, expanding, understanding, questioning, answering, whole and divided, god-seeking mental aspect. Heart ties the human being together from the perspective that we are a layercake of energies, and maybe from other perspectives too? -

This guy ^ has been so generous to me (and doubtless others) over the years. Also he's a mad scientist, trailblazer and guinea pig. Maybe he has discovered the ancient lost alchemy behind the food of the gods beverage? For those that weren't here or weren't paying attention, i've noted his presence since before the current username, his unfortunate backstory and quest to dig himself out of a dark hole. A gem if you ask me. Will provide some support not that i understand the chemistry being discussed. And screw the middleman. Now shutup and take my money. -
Is it cleared up then? Im not familiar with this "horizon always at eye level" argument, but it seems utterly wrong. Ive spent a fair bit of time gazing down from elevated lookouts and I dont recall ever deciding that I must be looking directly out at the horizon.

^ I wouldnt be the least surprised if there was such a work floating around about orbital harmonics or such, although it would probably be more hypothetical than not. I posted a video once that showed among other things a similarity between the van Allen radiation belts amd electron shells.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-06-13/video-emerges-us-allowing-isis-fighters-escape-safely-syria Tldr: Australia as a member of tha USA-led coalition, is a supporter of ISIS. The coalition doesn't want to hammer ISIS. Their intention is to "corral" Isis towards Syrian government held areas. Namely deir ezor. Which the coalition conveniently pounded from the air last year almost allowing Isis to overrun the enclave.
