[edit] The
The piece I wrote on nutrients in water quality is modified from a similar piece I wrote for my company at [1] and provided with appropriate permission. i wrote it during the 1980's. and then i went to the dog city and they took my dogs and the dog of the dog which were the dogs sons and they were dogs they also got stolen even though they wern't my dogs. Marshman brackets are usefull
Qaz -- um, what? Ethanol (unique among the simple alcohols) is a nutrient; humans can metabolize it for its energy content. The liver converts it to acetic acid which is a glucose breakdown product (see Krebs cycle). Why do you think heavy drinkers tend to get fat? Zack 19:48, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC) im in love with you
I'm not sure where the division of substances into two groups originated from. Although not "wrong", it is not really all that correct either. I've added a cautionary paragraph, but the whole top section could probably be rewritten. Maybe it just need to be clarified better? Metabolism is primarily energy production, so the terminology seems off - Marshman 06:00, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I don't see fiber mentioned on this page.
- For the same reason you do not see corn chips, t-bone steaks, or green tea. Fiber is a form that biological tissues take, it is not a nutrient per se. - Marshman 23:48, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Many people believe that boiling vegetables makes them lose nutrients. Wikipedia:Reference_desk#Boiling_veg So does it somehow destroy the nutrients, or just leach the nutrients into the water ? Boiling water is not anywhere close to hot enough to destroy minerals (elements) or amino acids or protiens. (Boiling water "denatures" protiens, but they curl right back up again after they cool off). If it's true that all nutrients can survive boiling water, please say that in the article. If some nutrients are destroyed in boiling water, please say which ones in the article. Thank you. --DavidCary 16:19, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Boiling vegetables in water will remove salts and minerals into the water and will alter proteins, so there certainly is some nutritional value destroyed by the process. But the caloric (energy) content is not changed - Marshman 02:19, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
yes ir remubes it
people don't know about this
[edit] A brand new beverage
Is it possible to invent a beverage that has all the necessary nutrients for human energy and metabolism in it, including water?--Lukeelms 21:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't see how that is relevant to this article... 121.220.222.175 09:38, 22 October 2007 (UTC)evilest_oreo
[edit] redirect from nutrient substance?
A nutrient provide us with energy; thus vitamins are not categorized as nutrients. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joannfeng (talk • contribs) 17:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- A nutrient is any necessary dietary factor like vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids. Metabolic fuels (sources of energy) are not termed nutrients most often. 20:14, 1 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hardyplants (talk • contribs)
[edit] Holy Crap!
Did a 6 year old vandalise this article?! There is a paragraph in here that has no grammar and sounds like it was copy-pasted from an essay from a nutritional website. I'm not the normally the type to complain about grammar but, wow. I'm going to try cleaning up the grammar make it more formatted from wikipedia. 99.226.156.160 (talk) 05:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, i've cleaned up part of this article but alot of it is still very improperly formatted, if someone could please continue to fix this article,(I may not have the time and i'm not the type to edit wikipedia, I just felt this was so atrocious is had to be dealt with), that would be appreciated. I think this is an topic is worthy of having a proper article 99.226.156.160 (talk) 05:45, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
