[WikiEN-l] Sourcemonkeys

[Jay Litwyn]

Libraries already do this for us. At least mine does. There is a health 
database, for example. It was not what I was looking for. I was looking for 
a book summarizing the role of elements and vitamins, their greatest natural 
sources, manufacturing, their purpose in animals --had it in 1996-- quite a 
bit more interesting than Earl Mindell. Stuff like that is probably in the 
database, and it is nothing I can sit down and try to remember and then find 
support for. I probably could not read the whole database now at the library 
in my lifetime.

You can find about 135 hits in pubmed from a search on [[white cabbage 
ulcer]]. Red cabbage lends a more appealing colour to pineapple smoothies, 
and the pineapple's flavour completely overpowers the cabbage. Research on 
cabbage juice obscures the benefit of fibre in a recipe for morning 
sickness.
