Is this stuff in our genes?
square shooter:
The herbologists will tell ya that herbs give off a vibration. Many people
will tell ya they have foods last longer in the refrig by keeping the fruit
separate from the vegies. Some specialists have taught that people shouldnt
eat fruit within fifteen minutes of vegies, as they take diff juices to digest,
'cause they're so diff. People have been napping when hunting, only to wake
up and stare right into a does' eyes who was staring right into theirs.
Ya, how do the deer know? And how does the alfa wolf know to take the heart?

Square Shooter, actually fruit gives off a gas. If you have a starfish cactus, or a torch plant, and want to speed up the blooming process, just put a slice of apple or such, in it, and cover it with a plastic bag, and it will start ferminting, and producing a gass, which I forget at the moment, and it will induce the plant to start blooming. As for different juices for digesting, it takes acid to digest meat, or other protein, and a base, to digest starch. So if the vegetable is a starchy food, then it will take a base to digest it, but I believe it will also digest fruits and other vegetables, but so will the acid. The reason you feel so bloated after a meal of meat and potatoes, is because you are using both an acid, and a base. Vinegar, and baking soda reaction. Try eating meat, and non starch vegetables, or eating potatoes, and veggies together,and see the difference. Beans have both protein, and a starch. Which is why the lower venting process occurs...... :P

The gas is ethylene gas, given off by fruit as they ripen, I think to facilitate simultaneous ripening. Bananas give of a crapload of it, so if you want an avacado to ripen quick, stick it in a bowl with bananas. on the same note, it will cause vegetables to spoil faster. Orange growers used to think it was the heat in the ripening sheds that made the oranges ripen faster, then it was discovered that it was ethylen given off by the kerosene heaters that was responsible. Beans contain starch and protien together, and they also contain substances called starch blockers, that reduce the ability of your intestine to absorb the carbs, leaving them for the nice methane producing bacteria in your gut to feed on, leading to even more gas :P That can be reduced by tossing the soaking water, boiling the beans 30-40 minutes, then tossing the water they were boiled in. Cuts the cooking time of baked beans by about an hour too, you just have to reduce the liquid a bit from the recipe, cause the beans are precooked.
