    Golf is a nice walk in the outdoors that is ruined by a little white ball.

    In both the US and Canada, the country of origin of any or all of the ingredients makes no difference to the labeling laws. The label must conform to the rules of the country where the product is sold at retail. So your hypothetical case would be illegal. Here in Canada, I have seen a number of imported products with a Canadian label attached over top...

    The relevant US regulation is: USA Code of Federal Regulations Sec. 184.1444 Maltodextrin CAS Reg. No. 9050-36-6. It is a nonsweet nutritive saccharide polymer that consists of D- glucose units linked primarily by [alpha]-1-4 bonds and has a dextrose equivalent (DE) of less than 20. It is prepared as a white powder or concentrated solution by partial...

    Careful folks, this is a thread from 19 months ago recently brought back to life. Information in the first 17 posts is from 2006, and may no longer be useful. Campbell have a clear-disclosure policy, that is, if gluten is in the product then the common name of gluten grain will appear in the ingredient list: wheat, rye, barely or oats. Ingredients may...

    Happy birthday, Ken!

    The heat broke here last night, and temperatures are in the twenties today instead of the thirties. We had nasty thunderstorms and lots of rain as the front moved through.

    Never! You will always be welcome here, Amanda.

    I do indeed, and I remember his death (assuming he is, in fact, really dead). We keep hearing reports that he was abducted by aliens, and is now working the midnight shift at a 7-11 somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. I hear that Osama bin Laden may work the day shift there. This day is engraved permanently in my memory, but for another reason. Emily...

    Okay, everybody, make me feel old here. There are, as far as I know, only three of us over fifty, and only one older than me. I'm the oldest male here. Does that make me the Crown Prince of Silly Old Age? Oh, wait, I used to be the king. I am not dead, but I am not the king anymore. I must be Open Original Shared Link Oh, wait, he's dead too...

    HbA1c is glycosylated hemoglobin. Open Original Shared Link Since the red cells in the blood are constantly being replaced by new ones, it gives a good indication of your average blood glucose over the past three months (the lifespan of a red cell is three months). It is not affected by the timing of samples, as a meter is. The nature of the A1C is that...

    Well, I do have AC and it is needed in a three-story structure with a flat roof. It is a bit cooler than it was yesterday morning, but by afternoon it will be hot and humid with more thunderstorms. Open Original Shared Link The observations are taken at Buttonville Airport, 4 km due west of my home. I'm not near any flight path from there. The two runways...

    A number of years ago, the Canadian Diabetes Association stopped using the term "normal" to refer to blood sugar levels, and began using "optimal." This was in recognition of the fact that even in people without diabetes, significant fluctuations in blood glucose levels happen. It was learned that it was common for people without diabetes to have "abnormal...

    Well, another day in the life of a silly. We got up this morning and had a pleasant breakfast out on the deck. Then, as reported yesterday, we drove into downtown Toronto to visit Woofstock. We had never been before, and now we know why. It was crowded, dogs everywhere, and mostly vendors selling stuff. Much of the stuff being sold was the kind of things...

    Most people just leave their accounts dormant. There are hundreds like that. If you want the user to actually be deleted, send a personal message to that effect to admin. Deleting the account will not delete your posts, they will remain in any case.

    Technical discussion about telephone service follows. Skip this if you are not interested. This condition is consistent with an intermittent short in your line. When overhead wiring is involved, it can be sensitive to wind conditions. It can be related to moisture in any case, but more so with buried wires. A plain old telephone service (Open Original...

    Quiet here today. Where is everybody? Good to see you back, Sarah.

    There are two views you can have in the editor while composing your posts. In the standard editor, you will see the formatting codes as you type. In the rich text editor, most (but not all) formatting is visible. It isn't quite WYSIWIG, but it is close. To see exactly how your post will appear, click the "preview post" button.

    I have had an endoscopy twice, in 2000 and again in 2007. I was "sedated" both times, but I can't tell the difference from "general anesthesia" which I have also experienced twice, in 1961 and again in 2005. I did not remember a thing about the procedure either time. I did not experience any discomfort afterwards. In each case, I also had a colonoscopy...

    Emily, it posted all right. I'm not sure about people of a certain age wearing bikinis. Of course, I personally would never be seen in one. I totally lack cleavage and am really completely flat in that department. Something on the upside, but not silly. Jennifer has joined the team at our business and it looks like it will work well for all of us....

    What kind of surgery does one do for a heinous girl?

    A thread is the same as a topic--the words are synonymous. A new topic in the related disorders forum might be a good idea.

    Well, it has been an overcast day with rain for the afternoon drive time. The forecast for tomorrow afternoon is a temperature of 31oC, or 87oF. But with the humidity factored in, it will feel like 42oC, or 108oF. At least in Arizona it is dry, not 63% relative humidity, which is what we are expecting. Not much silly here today, but no dead animal...

    If you click on the number "33" (or whatever the percentage is) a pop-up will open showing the details. You should have been sent a note by the moderator (admin) who issued the warning. If you didn't get one, post again and I will send you a PM explaining it.

    This generalization is in false. In most cases, the meat sources used are from the same pool as our own food. Some people are confused when they see the term "meal" on a pet food label. Meal is meat which has had the water and fat processed out. Since meat is over 75% moisture to start with, the result is a much more concentrated form of the meat. Nothing...

    Good morning. Can't stay right now, back in a couple of hours. Sarah, where are you?
