ROFL: Thanks for the solution
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, January 03 2013 @ 09:45 PM EST

I have a few movie/game cases where that sticky stuff makes a mess of the surface.

I think I'll try that solution next time I see a case like that.

peanut butter the miracle food
Authored by: celtic_hackr on Thursday, January 03 2013 @ 10:35 PM EST
It also removes bubble gum from hair and leaves it with a nice shiny look and a
wonderful nutty scent.

And lots more uses!

Well, Peanut butter has long been touted for removing gum from hair, so that
makes sense.

If you are curious, just a bit, about what is in food... ??
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, January 03 2013 @ 11:34 PM EST
PJ - if listed as a natural or artifical flavor, they don't have to list what that is, can stay as a "trade secret", but only if it is made from "generally recognized as safe" stuff (that, for natural flavoring, can be made from anything that is either from a plant or an animal - meaning, the list of elements in that broad range of products, could be included in the flavoring, and does not have to be listed on the label.

PS - If you want to wonder about what is in the food, down to the most basic elements, in modern food...?

Then, check t his video link out.

At the least, from an intellectual point of view (for anyone with a background in the science this is covering the details of the topics discussed by the medical professionals), the methanol information as it relates to multiple sclerosis (and the locations and rates it is at the highest, and the connection that is made in the interview, is worth taking a serious looking at), because the data supports it, and the years of research supports what is mentioned as well.

Then ask, what is a label, but something that the lawyers argue about, and what gets listed, is what is negotiated.

Monsanto: genetic modification - just say no

PJ:
I don't like those kinds of peanut butter; not only do they have hydrogenated
vegetable oils (those are like Crisco, in case you hadn't made the connection),
they also have added sweeteners. Why??

I have eaten natural peanut butter (contains only roasted peanuts and
(optionally) salt) for at least 25 years. Yes, it does separate, but I'd much
rather have to deal with that than put all that other garbage in my system.
Only thing is, if I end up with GM'd peanuts, that's a bad thing that I can't
control.

One thing about peanuts: About half the oil in them is mono-unsaturated, which,
from what I've read on the subject, is supposed to help lower the
"bad" cholesterol, for those concerned with that. Poly-unsaturated
oil isn't supposed to affect cholesterol; and saturated oils are supposed to
increase the "bad" cholesterol. Bottom line: Peanuts are not bad for
you (barring allergies); but, your Jif, Skippy, etc. ARE!

Non-GM oils
Authored by: artp on Friday, January 04 2013 @ 01:13 AM EST
I'm down to peanut oil and olive oil for home use now.
Corn oil - the corn crop is over 90% GM in Iowa
Soybean oil - 99%
Canola - 99%

That leaves peanut for non-GMO oil that is affordable. There
are still lots of specialty/gourmet oils that are non-GMO:
any of the nut oils (peanuts are legumes, not nuts),
safflower oil and sesame oil as "safe" oils. Sunflower oil
is still safe, but there is work in progress to make a GM
version of sunflowers.

BTW, any peanut butter you buy that doesn't require refrigeration has
hydrogenated oils in them. However, anything marketed as Peanut Butter must
contain 90%
peanuts, with no artificial flavors or coloring.

The amount of hydrogenated oils are likely to be very small.

But, the only alternative is natural peanut butter, which will go bad sitting on
your shelf, unless you eat a lot of it daily. If you eat enough PB to go through
it in less than a month, you're much better off with natural PB. It tastes
better for one thing.

Beware of things that have the word "spread" in them. They are NOT
peanut butter, and may only contain little more than half peanuts. This goes
really for anything with the word "spread". Like cheese spread. Cheese
spread != cheese. "Spread" is a special word for the FDA, as is the
word "product". Like "cheese product" which is also not
"cheese". Which is what 90% of all packages of individual sliced
"American" you find marketed for sandwiches. Very hard to find
"American cheese", and almost none of it is individually wrapped. In
fact, I haven't seen ANY individually wrapped American cheese is a very long
time.
