Just a wild guess, Huey, but the proteins are amino acids that contain
NH3 (ammonia) groups. These might be dislodged by the carbonate (CO3).

True.
And since proteins in eggs are in the white part, I might try and
withdraw a whit or two. Less baking powder too. And probably, I will add
a tablespoon of gluten to make up for the egg whites ( a bit like you
took back one egg and added wheat protein).

Below, Bill O'Meally suggests replacing some of the flax meal with wheat
protein, but ostensibly flax seeds (meal) are used to raise omega-3
proteins. (If it is for lowering cholesterol you'd be better off with
oat bran or psyllium seed husks.)

-
Well, it's fatty, it's full of omega 3, and full of fiber.
Can't be bad for cholesterol ratio, right? I don't aim for a particular
benefit, though. Only to have a recipie that fits a LC diet.
-
It is presumed that hunter-gatherers
had a 1 to 1 ratio of omega-3s and omega-6s, whereas today it is about 1
to 10. This probably isn't a big deal because the oxygen and the heat
will destroy most of the omega-3s anyway.

-
Surprisingly, this is not true at all.

Well, it's on the "golden valley" site. True. But they quote sources and
scientific ones too.
But I must admit I was quite surprised. to make it short:
"baking ha(s) no effect on the bioavailability of flaxseed fatty acids."
Great, right?


Good catch, thanks.

If you like weekends (8 hr./day & 40 hr./week), then thank a labor union.
They paid for it in blood.

Jobs Not Wars

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
