In a message dated 97-05-22 22:40:04 EDT, you write: << What foods contain magnesium and potassium? >> Magnesium: dark green, leafy vegetables (spinach, collards, mustard greens, kale, turnip greens -- no light green leafy vegetables count); nuts and; crab. This list is why a lot of people decide to take magnesium in supplemental form. Potassium: any piece of fruit. Bananas must be able to afford a great public relations firm because that's the one most people name as a source of potassium, but all fruits and vegetables are good. Hope you're making all that milk the low fat variety. Here in the American South, "milk" used to mean buttermilk and the kind that most people drink now was known as "sweet milk". Buttermilk is low fat. I think I'll go get a bowl and crumble some cornbread into it and pour on the buttermilk and eat it with a spoon. Mmmmmmm! Deanne [log in to unmask]
