Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Evening Ron, >>Congratulations on your web site. >I didn't know that The Spotlight was still alive - if not well. >Lots of great links. >Well done. Thanks for the kind words. I do it all with an ASCII editor, no crutches or programs are used for building web pages. It is fun and I use it for all my reference notes. MY favorite list is so overgrown and bloated, I can find anything. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Wayne, Do you think it's possible that, with all the goods you have eaten that contain potassium, that there might be another ingredient eaten with it that inhibits your bodies ability to absorb potassium? It's just a thought - I'm a complete duffer in the area of how minerals are absorbed into our body and it was just something that crossed my mind when I read your post. I guess I'm thinking along the lines of people who need to take iron - they can take like thousands of milligrams of iron (ok slight exaggeration!) but if they take all this iron with a large glass of milk or any other calcium based supplement/food then that iron is going nowhere b/cause calcium can interfere with iron absorption...... A pondering thought....
