Anyone ever tried this?

[shaws Administrator]

No, didn't know it existed. There'll now be a rush to grow/buy etc. Extract:Are there any food sources of PQQ?

PQQ has been found in all plant foods analyzed to date.1 PQQ-rich foods include parsley, green peppers, kiwi fruit, papaya and tofu.3 These foods contain about 2-3 mcg per 100 grams. Green tea provides about the same amount per 4 oz serving.

Hmmm Still not a good idea to eat tofu! But I just might drink more green tea...

Hello Greygoose,

Just wondering about your green tea suggestion, as I like green tea and know it has some very good health benefits, but stopped drinking it as I was told it has a higher fluoride content than black tea. Is this so ? In fact I cut down on my black tea because of the fluoride content.

[greygoose in reply to C70rol]

Yes, it is true. But... I think people get muddled sometimes about the difference between natural and man-made. There is natural fluoride out there and it crops up in certain things - I have no idea just how much there is in green tea, but a cup from time to time can't be that damaging.

The fluoride that is damaging is the stuff they put in your water and toothpaste, which isn't natural at all, but industrial waste, a by-product of the aluminium industry...

FLUORIDE, THE SILENT KILLER

by: Yiamouyiannis, John, Ph.D.

Dr. Yiamouyiannis received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Rhode Island and served his post-doctoral fellowship at the Western Reserve University School of Medicine. He then became editor at Chemical Abstracts Service, the world's largest chemical information center, where he first became aware of the health damaging effects of fluoride. He is the former science director of the National Health Federation; he is the executive director of Health Action and president of the Safe Water Foundation. He is a world-leading authority on the biological effects of fluoride and is responsible for ending the use of fluoride in many areas of the United States and abroad.

HARMFUL EFFECTS OF FLUORIDE Fluoride is used as an insecticide and a roach killer. Even at the level they use to fluoridate your public water supply, usually at the rate of about 1 part fluoride for every million parts of water (1 ppm) by weight, it causes severe problems. As little as one-tenth of an ounce of fluoride will cause death. It is more poisonous than lead and just slightly less poisonous than arsenic. No one will die from drinking one glass of fluoridated water, but it is the long term chronic effects of drinking fluoridated water that affects health. Dental fluorosis is one of the earlier signs of fluoride poisoning, appearing in mild cases as a chalky area on the tooth, and in more advanced cases, teeth become yellow brown or black and the tips break off. Fluoride in the drinking water leads to fluoride levels in tissues and organs which damage enzymes. This results in a wide range of chronic diseases. Fluoride weakens the immune system and may cause allergic type reactions including dermatitis, eczema and hives. It causes birth defects and genetic damage. Fluoride is likely to aggravate kidney disease, diabetes and hypothyroidism. The amount consumed in drinking water has been shown to lower thyroid activity in humans. It also causes the breakdown of collagen which results in wrinkling of the skin and the weakening of ligaments, tendons and muscles. There are a number of ways that fluoride can be administered. The most insidious way is through the drinking water. Some of you have it in your mouthwashes, or in your toothpaste, or you may take a fluoride supplement which is dispensed in pills or drops.

FLUORIDE A BY-PRODUCT OF INDUSTRY Fluoride is an industrial waste product, a by-product of the aluminum industry and the phosphate fertilizer companies who have mountains of fluoride that is polluting the ground water. They have to get rid of it, and the old solution to pollution is dilution - just put it in the drinking water. People living in the vicinity of aluminum, phosphate, steel, clay, glass and enamel plants are exposed to high levels of fluoride in the air. For instance, the Hamilton area shows extremely high lung cancer rates that decrease as you get away from the downwind plume of the steel mills. If fluoride was left with the phosphate and sold to farmers, it would kill their crops. That is what originally happened when they used this high fluoride phosphate, and the farmers said they were going back to manure.

I'm pretty sure a cup of tea with unfluoridated water doesn't contain as much as the fluoridated water some people are in constant contact with. However, if you have any sort of bad reaction to it, just stop drinking it.

I trust blueberries only at the moment Well maybe because blueberries are so freaking good. Oh well the second thing is that in studies they have proved that eating blueberries does not only reduce oxidative stress , but it prevents you to store fat around your midsection and/or burns the fat. Well I have lost some weight, but I always have fat belt around my stomach which has now gotten smaller. Maybe wishful thinking, but other people have confirmed it so blueberries it is for me

[greygoose in reply to Justiina]

Don't get a lot of blueberries in northen France.

[Justiina in reply to greygoose]

Unfortunately! Well one can always get dried/powdered blueberries/bilberries online, which are still beneficial.

[greygoose in reply to Justiina]

Can you? I've never thought of that. I shall have to have a look.

[greygoose in reply to greygoose]

Blimey! I've just seen the price! Think I can forget that. lol

[Justiina in reply to greygoose]

Amazon UK sells blueberry powder by Biokia good price. Dried blueberries are ridiculously expensive

Biokia is selling Scandinavian bilberry.

[Justiina in reply to greygoose]

Cannot edit my last message. The company is finnish and their products are sold over here so it is proper brand. Their other berry powders are good too. Linton berries are good for low stomach acid and buckthorn is full of vitamins.

So if someone wants to try I can recommend these ones.

[greygoose in reply to Justiina]

OK, I'll have a look. Thank you.

[Treepie in reply to Justiina]

Bilberrys or wimberrys in Manchester are tiny berrys different from blue berrys .No idea about relative merits.

[greygoose in reply to Treepie]

We Don't get much in the way of berries at all.

[Justiina in reply to Treepie]

Bilberry is wild blueberry. Blueberry grows in pushes ( , bilberries in twigs, they come from same "family", bilberries are many times healthier.

[Treepie in reply to Justiina]

I had not known they were the same genus. Blue berrys seem expensive and bilberrys are hard work picking to get sufficient . Are plenty of bilberry bushes not far from me.

[Justiina in reply to Treepie]

Yeah. This year was bad year for all berries over here. I usually pick 100 liters of bilberries, now I got 20. Fortunately 1 deciliter/day is beneficial.

Bilberries to me taste more than blueberries. Blueberries are pretty because of the size and color and sometimes to decorate a cake I buy some but rarely as they are way over priced!

[Treepie]

Been picking brambles ,well away from roads, terrific in a crumble with Apple. Thought there were lots of wild areas in France .

[greygoose in reply to Treepie]

There are. I just Don't happen to live in one of them.
