Please tell me if I should consume sprouted soybeans and other beans?

Frequently Asked Questions
We don't recommend soybean sprouts as the toxins are still there and soybean sprouts were not consumed in Asia. They used mung beans for sprouting. Sprouting increases some nutrients but also some toxins (which protect the sprouts from animals eating them). Also remember that in traditional societies, the grains and legumes that were sprouted were then cooked. It is hard to say, we are suspicious of some of the additives and techniques used in commercial sprouted breads.

Does "lecithin" come from beans, such as soybeans, or is it from an animal?

Frequently Asked Questions - FOOD INGREDIENTS -- The Vegetar...
Lecithin is found in egg yolks, the tissues and organs of many animals, and some vegetables such as soybeans, peanuts, and corn. Lecithin is commonly used in foods that are high in fats and oils in order to make dissimilar substances, such as oil and water, blend and/or stay blended. We list it as typically vegetarian. Archer Daniels Midland Co., a major manufacturer of lecithin, extracts it from soybeans. Soy is the standard for lecithin in the food industry these days.

Could you tell me how much water a 19lb dog should consume on a daily basis?

Balgownie Veterinary Hospital: FAQ July 2003

How can I get her to leave it alone or what other method can I use to keep her from bleeding all over the place other than surgery? Thank you.

What's the difference between ground flax and sprouted flax?

Ruth's Hemp Foods
The main functional difference is bio-availability. Think about the flax seed - it wants to be disseminated, and one way this happens is through birds. It does not want to be digested, and is difficult to digest in whole or ground form. However once it is sprouted, the enzymes that create the miracle of life also transform the nutritive value of the flax, to make the nutrients far more bio-available.

Where do I find wheat berries? Can you buy sprouted ones?

FAQs on Homemade Baby Formula, Part 2
Most health food stores carry wheat berries--Whole Foods carries them. I don't think that the bulgur sold is stores will be sprouted--you will have to enquire about this. But you can purchase sprouted wheat flour on the internet and make bread with it. I don't think all the elements will be broken down as much as if you do sourdough but it is better than using plain whole wheat flour. Soy lecithin is a waste product from soy oil manufacture.

Why do my lima beans get so leggy and not have many beans?

Your Backyard Garden & Gardening FAQ's
You must pick the beans just as quickly as they mature. They want a sunny, warm location, with good drainage; very little food is necessary. Beans and peas are the best investment a gardener can make, as they give the biggest return for space and time invested. I wish to give the seed growers a pat on the back because they’re all working hard to develop varieties that will resist bugs and diseases and need less water, food, and care??"all for our benefit.
