Ya, I lived in Florida too. You are right about Florida. NY and California, even Texas are better for food.

Reply to comment by doaardvarksswim in During digestion, does ethanol react with lipids to form esters, at a significant conversion rate? by spamarind_soda
Nope. Nearly all death is at equilibrium. Steady state with energy inputs is not equilibrium. Nerves, muscles, etc are constantly utilizing energy to avoid the equilibrium state.

Reply to comment by antiquemule in If collagen is a protein, and proteins are broken down during digestion, why would collagen or collagen supplements be beneficial? Is it just hype? by skepticated
No, but vitamin c is needed for collagen crosslinking, a process that strengthens your collagen. Deficiency leads to scurvy.

Head and neck surgeons do orchestrate some of the most complex and difficult surgeries though. You may have several teams doing different parts of a surgery and take turns. I have seen as many as 4 or 5 teams work together. Neurosurgery, ophthalmology, plastics, OMFS and ENT/ HNS all can participate on some large tumor resections and reconstructions. When actively involved you can get so focused that food, pee breaks, etc don't cross your mind for 8 to 12 hours. Then you finish and it all catches up to you.

Reply to comment by Cult_ureS in Will a bag of activated charcoal actually passively purify the air in a room? by gtmattz
I was going to comment that HEPA is for particulate filtration but won't be helpful for chemical vapors. A small amount might adsorb, but a filter designed for vapors (usually with activated charcoal in it) will be much safer.
