Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 I'll buy some. Do I get them at Michele's potluck on Saturday? It seems like that would be the easiest pickup method for all involved. Also, I was going to buy at least one more case of organic cherries at this Saturday's U Dist. farmers' market. Everyone at Zita's loved them. The price worked out to $2.5/lb. I expect the price to be the same this Saturday too, but we'll see. I'm pretty sure there will be quite a few of you who'll buy 'em off me. Will I have enough buyers to sell an amount equivalent to a 20 lb. case? If so, I think I'll buy two cases. Hopefully I can get Bing _and_ Ranier. I'm going to do an extended fast soon, so I plan to eat just fruit for about a week or so before cutting back to plain H2O. I'd like to know the extent of the cherry demand so as not to run too low on my own share. The bananas will also come in handy during the pre-fast week. Thanks Paula.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 Paula – at that price I’ll take 10# of each and meet you at Michele’s on Saturday.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 Hi Liz, The symptoms you are describing are not a cleansing response. They are more typical of a reaction to the bananas. Try organic bananas and see what happens. About 99% of the time, it is usually a reaction to a pesticide or fumigant they are using on the fruits that people react to.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Someone sent me this information on Bananas. I thought I would share it with you. Pauline Bananas.....very interesting.... Doctors: Bananas are a quick fix for flagging energy levels. Containing three natural sugars-sucrose, fructose and glucose- combined with fiber a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. Depression: Bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood. Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit! Brain Power: Research has shown that the potassium packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body. Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood-enhancer, tryptophan. Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water- balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, there by reducing our potassium levels. These can be re-balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. Strokes: According to research in 'The New England Journal of Medicine' eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%! When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, " A banana a day keeps the doctor away!
