Isn't that crazy?! > <humbly_snipped> That smell of ammonia is uric_acid, it's a common smell in weight lifting gyms when one digests too much protein. Actually it came to help me when I was trying to decide how much protein I really needed in my diet. Being a practicioner of " Bikram Yoga " which is done in a heated studio I am lucky in the fact that I get to sweat alot and detect this much easier. I have gotten to the point of noticing that having just one item too many in a day will push me over my protein limit. It never fails and it's an extremely accurate system if one can actually sweat alot and be aware of the odor coming from them. I actually can smell my workout shirt and detect, after the fact, how my diet is doing. -- |<---------------------- " Word-Wrap-At-72-Please " ---------------------->| Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ " UNIX, A Way Of Life.
