Ask questions about kudzu. Give answers if you want. What is more important than the questions about kudzu? The questions are the most interesting.

Size of female might determine reproductive rate

 While human doctors are looking at fatness to determine why women are not having children, gorilla scientists are looking at dominance. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200603144331.htm


Has any scientist looked at a human and though, "I wonder if her dominance has anything to do with reproduction?"

Why drug addicts and sick people routinely get pregnant and women who might appear fat have more difficulty has always been a question difficult to answer. Why blame one thing when it might be another? Why is it metformin is not working for everyone, and dieting is not working for everyone when it just might be the level of control a person has in their life that gives that person fertility. I wish kudzu would be the end all elixir. Why is it not?

You are what you eat

Bamboo has cyanide unless cooked. The leaves of this classified grass also may have cyanide. The bamboo sprouts have cyanide that is unhealthy unless cooked. Kuduz? No cyanide. Does kudzu have more than 60 health benefits?

Think about it, people who drink diet drinks and skip meals may be a normal weight and have such poor nutrition that they may look healthy and be far from healthy. 

Let food be your medicine and medicine your food. So little research is being done for gluten, for food allergies, for yeast infections and for who eats enough chlorophyll. Here is another interesting article focusing on weight. How much health do these people who have higher weight have? Dental health, infections, viruses, immune health, are factors. People who are slender may be unhealthy and people who are overweight may be healthier. The higher weight may be a reason many women cannot have children. Do all higher weight women get there the same way? Vegetarian, omnivore, junk food choices, or a chlorophyll rich diet are these considered in any of these studies about women who are infertile and have higher weight? Below is an article that may or may not include food people eat or drink.

Is kudzu an herb?

 A scientist sent this article to me: 

Herbal medicine for the management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and associated oligo/amenorrhoea and hyperandrogenism; a review of the laboratory evidence for effects with corroborative clinical findings

2014, BMC complementary and alternative medicine.  https://www.academia.edu/

This made me wonder about the research concerning kudzu and fertility for people. For 5000 years the people in Asia have used kudzu roots, and not so much the greens for medicinal purposes. The article above has positive outcomes for many herbal remedies and fertility.  What have you used?

Masks

Lindavideos

If you can sew, make a slipcover for an 8" by 10" (use picture frame mat) "pillow" and turn long sides over for channels for thick yarn or 72 inch shoe strings. This can be used when no mask is available. This can be used to protect the N95 or whatever that is a more protective mask from getting dirty. It can make masks last longer for anyone.

I use a titanium rotary cutter, a  cutting board I bought for $10 from Corelle in St. Augustine, FL, and a picture frame matt for the pattern. I don't own a serger. I use zig-zag as my ONLY stitch.

Who decided what is true and what is untrue for kudzu?

Compare kudzu and ivy, whether English or poison, please. Which grows more? Which is edible? Which is healing?

Kudzu in Mason Jars

Have you noticed salad lasts a few days in the refrigerator  and kudzu does not? Kudzu has no preservative chemicals, and salads do get sprayed.

Keep kudzu in Mason Jars to make them last in the refrigerator, and know what temperature your refrigerator  has. Use a point and scan thermometer.

What invasive plant is edible?

What is invasive? What is an invasive edible? Mint, kudzu, thyme, lemon balm. Can you name any more invasive plants? Why is that important? Think about it. Why do we work so hard to have food when there are invasive plants that are so easy to harvest, so easy to ignore and then harvest? Why do we want to work so hard when an invasive plant is there to supply our needs instead?
