Flowers which change color often do so based upon the acid or base content of the soil.\n\nThis might be the situation in your case.

I can't remember the mineral, it is there in my small little brain but I can't find it at the moment. Any way, the mineral is mixed with corn starch and formed into sticks under pressure. The corn starch prevents the powdering that causes chalk dust, but is still soft enough to allow the chalk to write on slate, etc.

Wow, that sounds like a whole essay. One example is BT cotton which contains a toxin from the bacteria Bacillus thurengensis (spelling?), this prevents cotton plants from being eaten by boll weavils. Valuable/beneficial because the cotton can be raised without having to spray chemical insecticides on the field which can then spread into water supplies. There are another line of crops called Round-up Ready, which allow you to spray weed killer without killing the plants you're trying to grow. You could probably check out the Monsanto website and find some good info there.\nOh- another good one is Golden Rice. It contains genes to make beta carotine to prevent night blindness in children in developing countries

For the mentoes to shoot out, some guess must be produced. \nIn food, the most common gas producing substance would have to be carbonates. \nSince pepsi is an acidic solution, probably the acid reacted with the carbonate on the surface of the mentoes to rapidly produce a huge amt of carbon dioxide. \nThe carbon dioxide then propelled the mentoes out of the bottle.

Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi contain aspertame which can hinder your progress if you're trying to lose weight on a low carb diet.  They both also contain a lot of caffiene which can constrict blood vessels (not good!).  \n\nYou're probably much better off choosing another beverage with less preservatives and caffiene when it comes to your health.  Of course, if you drink them in moderation, I'm sure not much harm is done.

pepsi. Pepsi has more variety

WTF!!! Thats awesome, I've never heard of such a thing but not only do matches contain sulfur, they also contain potassium chlorate which is used as a pesticide and is to be handled with care when mixing other chemicals, which in better terms could be best understood as to why they would "ingest/consume" them. From what I recall, parents of soldiers and marines here in Texas have special request items such as gatorade, magazines, books, cd's ect. wanted by sons and daughters serving in that country they call "Iraq", and one of the top items requested by many of them was suprisingly dog/cat flea collars. I asked one parent and she mentioned they have a problem with the sand fleas and some other insects and so they wear them around the wrists and ankles to solve that problem and to me that would seem like a more safer and SMARTER alternative than to swallow some chemicals not knowing what could happen to them in years later on in life.

I prefer Pepsi products. Pepsi has a sweeter taste to it than Coke, and Mountain Dew frickin' rules!

Use as fertilizer or mulch\n\nBanana peels, like the fruit itself, are rich in potassium -- an important nutrient for both you and your garden. Dry out banana peels on screens during the winter months. In early spring, grind them up in a food processor or blender and use it as a mulch to give new plants and seedlings a healthy start. Many cultivars of roses and other plants, like staghorn ferns, also benefit from the nutrients found in banana peels; simply cut up some peels and use them as plant food around your established plants. \n\nAdd to compost pile\n\nWith their high content of potassium and phosphorus, whole bananas and peels are welcome additions to any compost pile -- particularly in so-called compost tea recipes. The fruit breaks down especially fast in hot temperatures. But don't forget to remove any glued-on tags from the peels, and be sure to bury bananas deep within your pile -- otherwise they may simply turn out to be a meal for a four-legged visitor.

yes,but its just soil. earthworms are decomposers so they release nutrients back into the soil

diet drinks have aspartame in them which causes symptoms of fibromyalgia... which is a muscular disorder.

http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/lookup/encyclopedia/so/Soil_pH.html\n\nSoil pH\n\nSoil pH is an indication of the alkalinity or acidity of soil. It is based on the measurement of pH, which is based in turn on the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a water or salt solution.\n\n\nWhen in balance (pH 7) the soil is said to be neutral. The pH scale covers a continuum ranging from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline or basic). It is however uncommon to find soils at either extreme of this range. Under many conditions soils tend to become more acid or alkaline over time if steps are not taken to maintain a balance. \n\npH is important for the organic gardener for several reasons, including the fact that many plants and soil life forms prefer either acid or alkaline conditions, that some diseases tend to thrive when the soil is alkaline or acidic, and that the pH can affect the availability of nutrients in the soil. \n\nTable of contents [showhide]  \n1 Nutrient availability in relation to soil pH \n2 Soils and acidity \n3 Soil life and pH \n4 pH and plant diseases \n5 Determining pH \n6 Altering soil pH \n7 See also \n \n \n\n\n\nNutrient availability in relation to soil pH \nThe majority of food crops prefer a neutral or slightly acidic soil, because the solubility of most nutrients necessary for healthy plant growth is highest at at pH 6.3-6.8. Some plants however prefer more acidic (e.g., potatos, strawberries) or alkaline (brassicas) conditions. \n\nWhen the pH falls below 5.5, most major plant-nutrient minerals (those needed in substantial quantities to promote healthy plant growth include nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulphur (S), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca)) and some micronutrients[?] (elements important to plant growth in very small amounts) become insoluble and hence unavailable for uptake by plant roots. \n\nMany cationic (positively charged) nutrients such as zinc (Zn2+), aluminium (Al3+), iron (Fe2+), copper (Cu2+), cobalt (Co2+), and manganese (Mn2+) are soluble and available for uptake by plants below pH 5.0, although their availability can be excessive and thus toxic in more acidic conditions. In more alkaline conditions they are less available, and symptoms of nutrient defficiency may result, including thin plant stems, yellowing (chlorosis[?]) or mottling of leaves, and slow or stunted growth. \n\npH levels also affect the complex interactions among soil chemicals. Phosphorus (P) for example requires a pH between 6.0 and 7.0 and becomes chemically immobile outside this range, forming insoluble compounds with iron (Fe) and aluminium (Al) in acid soils and with calcium (Ca) in calcareous soils. \n\nThis table indicates the availability of several nutrients at various pH values: \n\n  Acid  Neutral Alkali  \n  4   4.5 5   5.5 6   6.5 7   7.5 8   8.5 9   9.5 10 \nnitrogen, N       \nphosphorus, P         \npotassium, K         \ncalcium, Ca       \nmagnesium, Mg       \nsulfur, S     \niron, Fe     \nmanganese, Mn       \nboron, B       \ncopper, Cu       \nzinc, Zn       \nmolybdenum, Mo     \n\n\n\nSoils and acidity \nUnder conditions in which rainfall exceeds evapotranspiration (leaching) during most of the year, the basic soil cations (Ca, Mg, K) are gradually depleted and replaced with cations helds in colloidal[?] soil reserves, leading to soil acidity. Clay soils often contain Fe and hydroxy Al, which affect the retention and availability of fertilizer cations and anions in acidic soils. \n\nSoil acidification may also occur by addition of hydrogen, due to decomposition of organic matter, acid-forming fertilisers, and exchange of basic cations for H+ by the roots. \n\nSoil acidity is reduced by volatilization and denitrification of nitrogen. Under flooded conditions, the soil pH value increases. In addition, nitrate fertilizers containing cations such as Ca, K, or Na also increase the soil pH value. \n\n\nSoil life and pH \nA pH level of around 6.3-6.8 is also the optimum range preferred by

Subject: Beware of diet soft drinks  \nDiet Softdrink is doing it...\n \n \nPlease read this! It may help you or someone you know.\n\nIn October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out\nof bed; she was in so much pain.\n\nBy March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick...she just knew she was dying.\n\nShe put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughters name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of.. She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to FL (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.\n\nOn March 19th I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. (Multiple Sclerosis)\n\nI recalled an article a friend of mine E-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment... I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda !!! I E-mailed her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent.\n\nMy sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk!!!! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she sure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home.\n\nWell, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind...\nIn a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda... and literally dying a slow and miserable death.\nWhen she got to FL March 22nd, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery . and she is walking!!! No wheelchair!!!\n \nThis article saved her life.\n\nIf it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!\n\nI have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on "ASPARTAME," marketed as 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and 'Spoonful.'\nIn the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United Statesin 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant.\n\nI stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject. I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence..., methanol toxicity is!\n\nSystemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition.. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.\n\nIn cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly.\n\nThis also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia.\n\nDuring a lecture,

I dunno...though I've heard it said that Pepsi has more than Coke.  What is needed is an experiment.  One could obtain some small balloons.  Add a small amount (a few ounces--you may have to experiment to find the best quantity) of a soda to a container, and attach a balloon to it.  Then wait until the soda goes flat (a day?).  Do this for different types of soda.  The volume of the gas released can be determined by immersing the balloon in water and noticing how much water was displaced.\n\nComment:  The person who said that it's dependent only on temerature is wrong.  Colder temperature does increase the solubility, but so does increased pressure.  See:\nhttp://www.intute.ac.uk/sciences/reference/plambeck/chem2/p01182.htm

No, as the name suggests, it is genetically modified.  It has been through so much chemicals that its hard to tell if you will get essential nutrients out of it at all.  Maybe some kind of sickness if exposure will be for a long period of time.  Also, many farmers of organic products, like in India, are losing their only source of livelihood to these giant manufacturers of genetically modified foods, hence, it will be a nightmare in the future if all of what we eat are no longer produced naturally, but are made synthetically!!!
