Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Sure, Dave, you're welcome. Now that I think about it, these powders will certainly show a lot more nutrients BY WEIGHT than fresh produce, probably way more than 10 times as much. After all, most of the weight of fruits and veggies is in the water. But the water is there for a reason, IMO.

Hey Mark, well said, that is indeed very thought provoking and relative to the discussion, i hadnt thought about that , hmmm interesting thanks, dave @ <%40> , " Mark Hovila " <hovila wrote: > > Dave, > > > > You're right, they aren't going to tell you anything negative about their > products. > > > > But let's say you take Dr. Sheridan's powder to an independent lab sand they > say the stuff has got 10 times the Vitamin A, B, C, X, Y, Z, etc. that > fruits and veggies do.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hey Mark, Right now im eating the S.A.D way, so i figure eating the way i proposed with the Green Powders, if it gets me going in the Right Direction, its got to be WAY better than what im eating now. I mean if i cant eat the 'ideal' way now , than eating Organic Fruit and Fats with Lots of Green Powders has got to be WAY better than the avg american eats, so in that sense ill be gaining alot ! ill let everyone know how this all turns out once the Powders arrive which ive ordered already and i start on the program daily thanks, dave , " Mark Hovila " <hovila wrote: > > Sure, Dave, you're welcome.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hey Dave, I can tell you what my (now husband) did a few years ago when in a similar situation. He bought a mini-fridge at Home Depot and kept it in his room. You could take your stuff to the kitchen, make it there, then return your clean blender (assuming you choose to get one) back to your room. You could even put an extra lock on your bedroom door if your roomies are that disrespectful of your personal property. Good luck, I know what it's like to live in an uncomfortable roomie environment. Cheers!
