Re: Corn gluten meal = herbicide

[Guest guest]

Corn gluten meal is a pre-emergent which means it must be applied during the

time your specific weed or weeds are beginning to germinate in your local area.

It doesn't harm already established plants. Be careful not to apply it while

broadcasting grass or garden seeds because, AFAIK, it doesn't distinguish

between which seeds it affects. It is supposed to break down into a mild

fertilizer as long as you don't apply too much. Garrett in Dallas/FW

talks alot about corn gluten meal, but then he talks alot about some organic

issues in an almost metaphysical sense.

So gluten is poisonous to some living things...at least in some

stages of development...?

Hmmmm....

I've been wondering that, too. If you look into the conventional

explanation of mad cow disease, it says that prion proteins don't get

degraded during rendering and end up in animal feeds that contain

animals byproducts. The assumption is that they don't get degraded

in the next animal's digestive tract, too, I guess, and end up in the

brain. If that's so, that would make some proteins pretty persistent.

I'd like to know whether totally grassfed beef or milk would cause a

gluten-intolerant person to react, the same as grainfed beef or milk

might.

I'd also like to know if a person with proper intenstinal bacteria

and excellent digestion (adequate hydrocholoric acid, etc.) would

still leave some problem proteins undigested.

Do any listmembers know?

I just found something that says not all proteins get digested.
