Thank goodness you are paying attention.I had a busy day yesterday and had soooo much energy I didn't write what I was supposed to.
The baster thingy has measurements on both sides - one side is mls. When it is full it holds 28 mls. The other side is ozs and when full holds one fluid oz.
So - to set my calculations to a more correct measure - my glass is full at five fluid ozs. Thank you for noticing my blunder and giving me the chance to correct it. Truly - I was so excited at having so much energy yesterday I just did as much as I could all day!!
Hope this helps.
Much Peace...
It was originally thought the two vitamins would protect against cataracts because they are powerful antioxidants. It was supposed that they would fight the process of oxidation, which destroys cells in much the same way as rust rots a car. However, it is now believed that, in large quantities, vitamin C may actually cause oxidation by upsetting the natural balance of proteins in the eye.

I just read that too much vitimin C can cause cataracts. Not sure if this has been covered in this thread but here's a link...

It was originally thought the two vitamins would protect against cataracts because they are powerful antioxidants. It was supposed that they would fight the process of oxidation, which destroys cells in much the same way as rust rots a car. However, it is now believed that, in large quantities, vitamin C may actually cause oxidation by upsetting the natural balance of proteins in the eye.
However Professor Yit Yang, from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, said:
‘It is not possible to establish from this study that vitamin C caused cataracts, as there may be other factors which were not accounted for."
‘In 2010, a randomised control trial designed to investigate specifically for causative effect of high-dose vitamin C did not find one.’
“We found that cells in the retina need to be 'bathed' in relatively high doses of vitamin C, inside and out, to function properly,” said Henrique von Gersdorff, Ph.D., a senior scientist at OHSU's Vollum Institute and a co-author of the study. “Because the retina is part of the central nervous system, this suggests there's likely an important role for vitamin C throughout our brains, to a degree we had not realized before.”
Decreased vitamin C levels in the lens of the eye have been associated with increased severity of cataracts in humans. Some, but not all, studies have observed increased dietary vitamin C intake (34, 35) and increased blood levels of vitamin C (36, 37) to be associated with decreased risk of cataracts. In general, those studies that have found a relationship suggest that vitamin C intake may have to be higher than 300 mg/day for a number of years before a protective effect can be detected.

This is always what I find is the problem. There are always contradictions either way and in the end who do we believe?

Serrapeptase is a fibrin-buster and was found to improve fertility in a study monitoring its effectiveness against clogged arteries. Fallopian tubes can be obstructed by fibrin. I am not aware of any negative effects from serrapeptase.

So i received my liquid sunflower lecithin for the azure place today. Good timing too as i just ran out of my last batch. So i made a new batch this afternoon, followed the same formula except that i used 2 tablespoons of the sunflower lecithin instead of 3 that you would use with the soy. Everything else was the same, dissolved 1 tablespoon vita c in 1.5 cups water, put in blender, added the 2 tablespoons of sunflower lecithin and blended for about 5 minutes.
everything looked good and blended, put in the sonicator and sonicated for a little over 30 minutes, almost all of the bubbles were gone. Put it in my jar and put it in the fridge and after a couple of hours it looked like this.....

does it look OK???? is this normal for the liquid sunflower lecithin?? if not any ideas what i did wrong?
