Yeah Calcium is a metal, but the inorganic part of bones (bone is 2/3 inorganic matter and one third of organic) is made primarily of hydroxyapatite (85%), which is a crystallized form of the Calcium Phosphate salt. The rest of the inorganic part is Calcium Carbonate, and small amounts of magnesium, fluoride, sulfate, potassium, etc.

Chloride by itself is a deadly gas, sodium by itself is a very volatile metal. But if you get sodium chloride the result is table salt. In the same way, Calcium by itself is a metal and therefore would behave like one, but when it gets together with phosphate in the right combination you get the main component of bones.



>> ^ForgedReality:
Calcium is a metal? O.O Why doesn't everyone set off metal detectors then? How do people work around huge magnets, like in a wrecking yard, without being stuck to them? Why don't bones rust? Why don't bones make sparks when a bone saw is applied? Why in the hell do some people think it's a good idea to put onions in when making a tuna fish sandwich?

His stare is so fucking INTENSE. It's like he's looking right at me and thinking, "Now, for dessert..."

my family is in the medical field,im the slacker who went and took a spiritual path.my oldest has a doctorate in bio-chem and has been saying this for YEARS,of course not with the frightening boogah-boogah that you get from this video.
and mi1ler,you are correct,but i believe those statistics are global.the use of sodium flouride and mercury as a preservative and prevention tool are western specific.
the example i can use is,for sake of argument:
last year the US graduated 20,000 engineers.
india graduated 200,000.
while even taking in the population curve ratio,that gap is MASSIVE.
take the boogah-boogah out of this video and its really not a bad warning tool.
i do agree with most here,i dont appreciate manipulative media,no matter what the agenda.
so its up to us to research,discuss and get to the heart of the matter.then take charge of our own destiny.
that destiny cannot be done alone,nor can it ever be achieved by trusting a corporate owned,run and single-owned media.
that system only seeks to perpetuate its own relevancy,which is to say:
keep the status quo.
its a small club,and you aint in it.
in conclusion,admonish the boogah-boogah aspect all you like,i agree with you,but dont dismiss arbitrarily the facts of mercury and flouride based solely on the boogah factor.
till next time..peace.

Simple explanation is there is something in the water that reacts with the aluminum foil... such as bromine or sodium chloride....not sure what though.
All just a neat trick...

Everything in moderation SG, I am speaking of the extremes, I play the damn things ever once inna while, too.....How about playing a MMORPG for 3-6 hrs daily, when not watching television, or using it to drive the X-box?? Combined with a palrty fat and sodium rich diet, and the limited physical activity that accompanies this lifestyle, and about 8 hrs in a public school???...Then you end up with an adult that is worth fuck-all.....unhealthy, insectoid if their lucky, able to leap from paycheck to paycheck, in a spirit bound......I suggest more teens go camping, get naked, and eat mushrooms, and that young adults who find themselves out in their own for the first time, completely divorce themselves from any forms of media that they do not program themselves, and for crissakes, read some esoteric literature or reference.....Bone up on the planetary experience ya cretins, make some waves!!

Fucking team fortress, fucking GTA, fucking imbeciles.......Stretch Yer Brains OUT...these "skills" you have are useless indulgences in hind-brain tunnels, and deleterious to the very nature of being....

he had no sodium left or potassium.

Dag, you're right, however there is a difference between methyl mercury - which is the really bad stuff everyone thinks of when they hear the word "mercury" - and ethyl mercury. The difference being that ethyl mercury has been shown not to bioaccumulate, which means it is not absorbed faster in an organism than it is lost naturally. Methyl mercury is the opposite and does bioaccumulate.

This is why the ethylmercury salt sodium, ethylmercuric thiosalicylate, is used in Thimersol as a preservative.

Again, it is widely known that methyl mercury causes a lot of harm, but still nothing shows ethyl mercury to cause any harm.

*edited; I forgot to add "not" before "to bioaccumulate"!

I tend to drink a beer about an hour before bed, and 30 minutes after training. About every five days.

I hit the bad for about 90 minutes, sustained punching is difficult to keep rhythm especially with all this shit they sell in the stores that has fructose, extreme amounts of sugar, and but loads of sodium.

I know where you are coming from on the bike seats and ass problem. That's why I don't ride any more.

Time to order me some sodium acetate!

U-238 is 138 times more abundant than U-235. U-238 breeder reactors work, but are more expensive to operate than U-235 reactors. Reprocessing spent fuel to extract the half that's unused is currently more expensive than mining fresh uranium. But as oil runs out, energy prices will go up, and more expensive ways of generating energy will expand. Uranium power generation based on breeder reactors could power the world's current rate of energy consumption for at least a thousand years with current proven uranium reserves, but nobody's even bothered to look at more expensive ways of recovering uranium. In the long run solar will have to be part of the solution. The earth receives 4*10^24 Joules of energy per year from the sun, while our worldwide fossil fuel consumption in 2004 was 4*10^20 Joules.

Solar thermal generator plants can store energy via phase change to be more reliable. For example, Solar Tres stores 6,250 tonnes of molten sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate (assuming a density of 3g/ml that's about a 10m x 10m x 20m tank). This is enough to provide a 16 hour buffer for the generator (600 megawatt-hours). So it can generate continuously at peak capacity except in winter. Electricity demand is always higher in summer than in winter, because in the winter your random electrical appliance electricity use supplements your environmental controls (almost all used electricity is converted to heat) while in the summer all of your electricity use works against your environmental controls (generates more heat that your AC has to remove).

If about 0.1% of the surface of the earth were converted to solar power stations, that could supply all of our current energy use. But the rate of consumption is increasing exponentially as population increases exponentially and THAT MUST STOP. Who's going to vote for the global 2-child policy that will probably be necessary to avoid annihilation of the environment and subsequent annihilation of mankind? Mankind needs another big round of moral progress to save itself from itself.

Late again. I need to catch up - make mine a benzodiazepine with a sodium amytal chaser, please.

wtg snoozer. now you can mock the surgeons' bling with some of your own.

If you buy the vending machine size bag, it literally is just one handful (most of the bag is air).

btw, it's 13% of the maximum daily sodium per bag.
http://www.thedailyplate.com/nutrition-calories/food/doritos/nacho-cheese?which=sodium
My baked lays have the same amount of salt per calorie.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

What about all the sodium - can't you get your daily recommended sodium intake in one handful? Who eats one handful of Doritos?

Also MSG is a little different from naturally occurring glutamate as found in seaweed and other foods IIRC - something about the direction of the molecule. IANAMB - just saying.

potatoes = fail

top 10 would be
1. milk
2. hummus
3. guacamole (made from avocados, garlic, onions, tomato, lemon, and a bit of salt ONLY -- nothing else)
4. chicken
5. whole-grain pasta
6. salmon or tuna
7. bananas
8. supreme pizza in moderation
9. veggie stir-frys
10. canned soup (with potassium instead of sodium)
