But enjoy reading all the posts. I am just starting to make my own bath salts, and was wondering if there is a substitute for Borax. As I live in a small town & so far have not been able to locate any. And information will be greatly appreciated. Hugs ~wwd~ >> Go to the laundry section of your supermarket and get some BORAXO, that's what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 Good Afternoon! I have a question. There have been quite a few posts about Soy on this forum. At the moment,I am interested in purchasing a good Soy Lecithin. Just wondering if there are any of you who have come across information pertaining to a good non-gmo Organic SOY Lecithin? It would need to be labeled as such for my satisfaction. Information doesn't seem to be forthcoming on this. Hmmm...perhaps Monsanto is hiding something?

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 > " does a glass of water with lemon juice in the morning spike your > insulin? " It boosts all digestive juices, those from stomach, liver, pancreas also. That is why it is said to be causing Deepana(boosting agni or digestive fire) in ayurvedic texts. Regarding insulin, author suspected that it was also getting boosted, when liver detox was carried out by few diabetics! Their blood glucose dropped. And they showed weight loss more than non-diabetics. The scientific mindset will, however, demand blood insulin levels after taking lemon water. Let scientist study this in depth. After all journals/conferences/seminars must go on. Layman will argue that if hunger increases, person will eat more, digest better, so more blood sugar should result! So see how a question leads to many more questions! But lemon water should not be the mainstay of diabetes treatment. Dr Bhate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I am not aware that this happens. However studies have shown that lemon can reduce insulin resistance: " ...lemon polyphenols may help improve insulin resistance through the suppression of visceral fat accumulation. " (Y Fukuchi et al, Lemon Polyphenols Suppress Diet-induced Obesity by Up-Regulation of mRNA Levels of the Enzymes Involved in β-Oxidation in Mouse White Adipose Tissue, J Clin Biochem Nutr. 2008 November; 43(3): 201–209.) This would be helpful for people with various metabolic syndromes. Best regards, Gerald _____________________ " does a glass of water with lemon juice in the morning spike your insulin?
