With your BROTHER. How exciting, I should come and stay more often! Seriously though, did you edit out the parts where you continually try and kick each other in the balls? Coz that's important.

Way to post a one sided view of how it happened! For instance I don't think I've called anyone a nitwit for possibly all time.And why does clicking "Go back to Nutrition Study Homepage" on that table lead me to a 404 Not Found error? DOES IT EVEN EXIST? I'm not too sure. But my argument still stands, unless you can tell me how boiling a carrot in water (and a scientific study should be using purified/deionised water so as not to muck up the results with differeing concentrations of elements in tap water all over the world.) suddenly more than doubles it's sodium content, via the addition of the apparently magical H20. To deduce it down into a maths equation where x = sodium: x + 0(sodium in water)x = 2x Therefore; x = 2x Wait for it, waaaiiit for iittt! ... No it doesn't.

Also the devil is more impressed by the different colour scheme. Hand washing dishes ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!.. That the drought we keep hearing about or a lack of appliance ? If t'is the later i know some violent men in Hong Kong who could arrange for delivery of one. They'll take any white slaves that you have spare.

Whether or not you can absorb the nutrients available better after boiling is not in dispute! I am disputing the fact that they amount of said nutrients actually increases! Physically impossible I say! [/spittle] Bah! Whether or not you can absorb the nutrients available better after boiling is not in dispute!

Especially from people with a penchant for old worlde English. Damn it, I want in. Also, Simon, the world hasn’t seen such hauteur and spurious use of facts so freshly gleamed from schooling the paints still wet since I was a first-year. I even used the whole null-hypotheses argument when trying to explain to my own mum how stupid some crackpot research she was going on about was. I forget exactly what. It probably involved crystals or why being dead once in a while is good for you. Gods but I hate hippies. Point is, stop it. I don’t like you reminding me of myself, and I’m sure you could do without the parallel.

I don’t like your new page, but am so happy with the one you made for me I can’t bear to be my usual unlovable self and meticulously enumerate the reasons why. And turns out I was wrong, having my own page hasn’t stopped me from rambling pointlessly on yours. Live and learn.

They are the agents of Evil, sowing enmity amongst siblings. You crazy antipodeans. Jess is right though, there does seem to be a major part lacking.. Namely the good old "let's decide who's right by means of unnecessary violence". No need to censor that stuff, it's practically the best part of any sibling "discussion". Carrots!

Though I must say, having glanced at the chart of so-called "proof", it seems that EVEN IF the facts are indeed TRUE, then the proposed "nutrients" being altered from raw to cooked state of carrotude are doing so at the cost of vitamins and potassium, which some might argue are more valuable than the sodium and calcium whose numbers are boosted. In other words, the point is moot by anyone's standards, and the only way to establish a true victor is the proverbial BATTLE TO THE DEATH... with lions. Lions that shoot lasers out of their eyes. Go on, get. As a closing statement, let me simply pass on the wise words of a certain biology teacher I once had the pleasure of hearing about vicariously...
