Super Sand & Cactus Gum (GlycoProtein)
BY ARIEL SCHWARTZ Jun 28, 2011
Sand is a cheap and easy to find water filter. It's also not a very good water filter. But a new development--coating sand in graphite--could make it possible for everyone in the world to have easy access to clean water.
Nearly one billion people lack access to safe drinking water. There are creative ways to purify dirty water when a Brita isn't handy, to be sure--people living in areas with plentiful sand, for example, can pour water through sand and pebble-filled filters. But while the sand quickly filters water and removes large particles, it is, not surprisingly, ineffective at removing heavy metals, pathogens, and other toxins that find their way into dirty water.
A newly developed "coated sand," uses graphite oxide--a substance used in the chemical process for making pencil lead (or graphite)--to filter out the contaminants that regular sand can't touch. It could be cheap to produce and almost as plentiful as plain old sand.
When Rice University researchers ran two model contaminants (mercury and Rhodamine B dye) through the super sand, they found that the coated substance removed contaminants as well as commercially available active carbon filtration systems. The big difference: The super sand is cheap. Graphite is inexpensive (waste graphite from mining operations could even be used), and the coating process can occur at room temperature.
Rice explains:
Nanosheets of graphite oxide can be tailored to have hydrophobic (water-hating) and hydrophilic (water-loving) properties. When mixed in a solution with sand, they self-assemble into coatings around the grains and keep the hydrophilic parts exposed. Adding aromatic thiol molecules to the coatings enhances their ability to sequester water-soluble contaminants.
Coated sand could, in other words, be at least one solution to our growing water crisis--along with cactus gum, the Tata Swach, and fog-harvesting devices.

Sucrose Warning, Al list of problems it can cause.
Sucrose Warning
Studies show that sucrose can cause or contributes to: obesity, diabetes, infectious diseases, the body’s ability to handle fat and cholesterol, promotes LDL, increased blood pressure, enlarged liver, increased liver fat, suppressed the immune system, hypoglycemia, upset mineral relationships in the body, hyperactivity, anxiety, crankiness, rise in triglycerides, ages skin, tissue elasticity loss, chromium deficiency, cancer of the ovaries, copper deficiency, absorption of calcium & magnesium, weaken eyesight, raise the level of neurotransmitter’s: dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, an acidic digestive tract, rapid rise of adrenaline levels in children, malabsorption, premature aging, lead to alcoholism, tooth decay, risk of Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, arthritis, asthma, yeast infections, heart disease, osteoporosis, salivary acidity, lower vitamin E in the blood, decreased growth hormone, triglycerides, kidney diseases, drowsiness, interference with protein absorption, food allergies, toxemia during pregnancy, cardiovascular disease, alters gene expression, change protein structure, headaches, including migraine, pancreatic cancer in women, learning disorders, reduced learning capacity, contributed to Alzheimer’s disease, increased platelet adhesiveness, hormonal imbalance, dizziness, increased production of free radicals and oxidative stress, feeds cancer, increased the concentration of bile acids in stools and bacterial enzymes in the colon, increased estradiol (the most potent form of naturally occurring estrogen) in men, destroys alkaline phosphatase enzyme, risk gallbladder cancer, an addictive substance, exacerbate PMS, worsens ADHD, adversely affects urinary electrolyte composition, slowed adrenal glands, slow or stop oxygen to the brain, dehydrates newborns, low birth weight babies, increased risk of breast cancer, induced salt and water retention, contributed to mild memory loss, caused constipation, caused brain impairment in prediabetic and diabetic women, increased stomach cancer risk, metabolic syndrome, increased neural tube embryo defects, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), caused liver tumors, caused myocardial infarction.

Overing eating (Gluttony) Bible verses
GLUTTONY
1. 'Deut 21:18-21 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.'
2. Prov 23:20-21 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
3. 'Prov 25:16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.'
4. 'Phil 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)'
5. 'Matt 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.'
6. 'Luke 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!'
7. 'Luke 16:19-26 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from '
