Vitamin K

Vitamin K plays a role in bone growth and blood clotting by aiding in calcium transport throughout the body. The UMHS notes that vitamin K's ability to help blood clots form has been utilized by doctors in treating overdoses of the blood-thinning medication, warfarin. Vitamin K is most prevalent in leafy green vegetables, but some forms of rice contain vitamin K as well. Long grain brown rice provides the highest amount of vitamin K, at 1.2mcg per cooked cup, while wild rice provides about two-thirds the amount. White rice, unless is has been enriched, contains no vitamin K.

This is a typical example of waste of scarce resources! What's wrong with the traditional golf carts? They already serve the purpose.

The human race should focus more on the basics such as clean water and healthy grain and vegetables for the millions in need!
Countdown of the human race has begun decades ago, and will certainly escalate due to the increasing percentage of ignorant, selfish and thoughtless inhabitants of this earth.

When I notice the dominance of the obesed crowd as I stroll around the shopping malls and urban streets, I can't help but start cursing. Unless they were born with medical complications, these are just irresponsible citizens who waste too much precious foodstuff, demand too much medical care (if not now, they certainly will in the years ahead) and produce too little for the sustainability of this decaying planet!

Of course, the international food giants have their parts to play in this global destruction. Sometimes, I think they are not much better than drug dealers from a moral point of view. Food is enhanced with stronger tastes to give consumers greater excitement, which leads to stronger demand. Not many consumers would give serious considerations to the fact that the items which excite their senses might not be the nutritional items required for proper functioning of the complication human body! Yes, too much research and thinking is required and this dying world is congested with ignorance.
