Bio Nutrition Batteries

By Mark Isaac Thyss, Garden of Healing®

Sony’s bio cell, unveiled in mid-2007, uses glucose-digesting enzymes.

There soon will be other things that run on sugar besides you.  Here we’re talking about fuel cells - like a new battery prototype from Sony.

How’s that for eco-friendly: a battery that runs on sugar.

This power set, appropriately shaped like sugar cubes, was one of the seven winners of Time Magazine’s “Best Innovation of the Year” lineup in the Environment category.

The article in Time says that “Sony’s bio cell, unveiled in mid-2007, uses glucose-digesting enzymes to extract electrons from any sugary solution (as with other batteries, the electrons flow around the circuit to generate electricity). Connect four of the 50-milliwatt cells, and you’ve got enough juice to keep your MP3 player humming.”

Some of the other green contest winners were just as unusual, including Xerox’s erasable paper, an earthquake-proof bacterium, bricks made of mercury-laced ash, and other weird but useful inventions.

The UltraMetabolism Cookbook by Dr. Mark D. Hyman

Synopsis courtesy of the Publisher:

Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group

From the Three-Time New York Times Bestselling Author of Ultraprevention, Ultrametabolism, and The Ultrasimple Diet

In UltraMetabolism, Dr. Mark Hyman brought the new science of weight loss to the general public. By learning to work with the body instead of against it, you can ignite your natural fat-burning furnace and reprogram your body to burn fat and keep it off for good.

Simply put, eat the right foods and send instructions of weight loss and health; eat the wrong foods and send messages of weight gain and disease.

The UltraMetabolism Cookbook puts Ultra-Metabolism into overdrive with 200 convenient, easy-to-prepare, and, of course, delicious recipes for the right foods that will bring on a lifetime of good health and healthy weight.

The first part of the book reacquaints the reader with the UltraMetabolism plan and then offers a wide variety of delicious, easily prepared dishes for both Phase I — the three-week detoxification of your system — and Phase II, which rebalances your metabolism in four weeks and offers the way to a healthy metabolism for life!

Look your best, feel your best, perform at your best, and eat such fantastic meals as Roasted Shrimp, Turkey and Red Bean Chili, and Ratatouille. And that’s just Phase I!

As you progress through the UltraMetabolism plan and enter Phase II, you’ll add satisfying, flavor-packed appetizers — Curried Deviled Eggs with Cashews, anyone? — as well as many more new salads, meats, fish, shellfish, soups, poultry, grains, vegetables, breakfast foods, and snacks. And there are lots of plant-based options and bean dishes forvegetarians.

In addition to the clear, cutting-edge science and great recipes in The UltraMetabolism Cookbook, you’ll find countless ideas of how to integrate the UltraMetabolism way of eating into your lifestyle, from quick weeknight suppers to entertaining and holiday meals.
