Lemon Egg SUCCESS

[Guest guest]

Hi Ian,

 

Thank you for answering these questions so completely.

I really feel we can all go out there and be experts

now and we can also have some fun experimenting with

the cracked (and very clean) shells as well.

 

I think between the Lemon Egg, Sesame Seeds, Oatstraw

and some other herbal infusions, as well as any other

wonderful calcium ideas that people might have, we

should all end up with some pretty wonderful, strong

bones.

 

Only one more question IF you know this, and this

might be a little hard: Do you know how much mg. of

Calcium, Magnesium, and Silicon the 2 oz. of Lemon Egg

might have???? This might REALLY be pushing my luck.

And it would be better if I would think of all my

questions at once.

 

Thanks,

Valerie

I take information about all foods at:

www.cs.princeton.edu/~ah/food/data

I download those tables, are very useful. But the tables not always are true. Organic food from rich soil = high levels minerals, vitamines and more.

But in lemon egg, I don't know. How calculate?

Few months ago, I asked "Instituto del huevo" ("Egg Institute") in Spain about the minerals in the egg shell. The answer was:

the egg shell contain:

1,6% water

3,3% protein

95,1% minerals.

From minerals total: 93,6% calcium carbonate

0,8% magnesium carbonate

0,8% phosphate "tricalcico" ( I don't know this word in english)

Calcium is un 37% from weight of the shell ( shell = 6 gr; calcium = 2,3 gr ), carbonate is 58%, Phosphor 0,35% and Magnesium 0,35%.

You can ask this question at:

If you write them, please send me the answers.

 

Now is late. Tomorrow, I will try calculate it.

>and thought someone might be interested since we've been discussing Lemon Egg and teas for calcium

In those tables you will find data very interesting. There are herbs and seeds with a lot of calcium. You said sesame seeds, poppy seeds too. I grinder 1 spoon of sesame seeds and 1 spoon of poppy seeds and 2 or 3 almonds in my green salad.

You can read in that site:

*seedsnuts.mineral

*spices.mineral

*vegetables.mineral

 

Calcium + Silicon is important for calcium intake. Horse tail (Equisetum) is a great source of silicon. You can take it in tea.
