Excellent, comprehensive post!

"You can call me paranoid if you want, but this is the main reason I will not eat sunflower seeds or oil :-P
Sunflowers were very effective at removing large amounts of radioactive materials from the water near the site of the 1986 nuclear-power-plant disaster at Chernobyl
Sunflowers abilities to remove contaminants from soil is called phytoremediation.
Sunflowers can remove as much as 95% of toxic contaminants."

I didn't know that! That is so COOL!! I DID know that about mushrooms, though...the mitochondrial mat:)

I LOVE sunflowers & we grow a LOT of them! We've grown so many that now the birds plant them for us! :)
