FUN FACTS

Plants and trees take in CO2 from the atmosphere to help growth. As CO2 levels increase from the burning of fossil fuels, volcano eruptions, ocean water temperature changes, and melting permafrost, plants and trees have been busy growing faster and larger. In fact this fun fact has lead to the re-greening of many non plant areas of the planet. NASA over the last decade has been measuring this effect from satellites in space taking pictures. article

So far, this re-greening has impacted an area twice the size of the continental United States with new plant and tree coverage. This will significantly slow down any climate changes as this new green area growth will absorb quite a lot of future CO2 emissions. This gives Nations more time to make and implement non CO2 energy changes. article

The Sun is due to flip poles within a year. Have to wait and see what the effects will be from the increased release of electromagnetic energy coupled with this event. Were the Northern Lights showing up in lower altitudes recently a beginning? article

Girl Scout Cookie Time

DateMonday, February 4, 2013 at 11:57AM

How can such a wonderful character building organization sell TRANS FAT laced cookies to raise money? Yes, I know the box lists O grams of trans fat, but the ingredients for some cookies lists a trans fat containing item; partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. If the serving size, in the case for Thin Mints is 4 cookies, contains less than one half gram of trans fat, it can still say 0 gm trans fat on the label. There is some trans fat in those cookies.  

SO, DO NOT EAT MORE THAN a couple of cookies A DAY TO LIMIT YOUR TRANS FAT INTAKE. Trans fat is added to keep the cookies fresher longer. To help block trans fats from being absorbed, eat the cookies with an APPLE. The pectin in apples works by combining with (trans) fat and preventing absorption.

The connection of trans fats to cardiovascular artery disease and cancers such as breast, prostate, and colon is pretty well established. Yes, it is a matter of quantity over time, and one cookie's content of trans fat is no big deal, but it all adds up together with the many other food sources plus restaurant meals may have even greater quantities unless in the States that have banned them. The catch 22 is also that you still have trans fats stored in your bodies from the past when trans fat food quantities were much higher, recall stick margarine.  ref
