Causes of ALS. ALS is a somewhat diverse and decidedly mystifying disease. In more than nine out of every 10 cases diagnosed, no clear identifying cause of the disease is apparent, that is, patients lack an obvious genetic history, complete with affected family members.
Here is a list of some of the more common varieties, along with fruit and plant descriptions. 1  Aristocrat - this variety features a waxy skin and is medium green in color.  Black Zucchini - very dark green skin and almost white flesh, very common variety of zucchini.
A medium zucchini yields roughly one cup of sliced vegetable. A larger zucchini with a two-cup yield contains roughly 52 calories. Zucchini, filled with vitamins and nutrients, are a good source of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, folic acid, potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium.
