CANOLA OIL-must read
 

Here's something to note.....read and make up your own mind..be warned!!

Recently I bought cooking oil that is new to our supermarkets, Canola Oil. I tried it because the label assured me it was lowest in 'bad' fats. However, when I had used half the bottle, I concluded that the label told me surprisingly little else and I started to wonder: where does canola oil come from?

Olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower oil from sunflowers; but what is a ca...

Honey is the only food (liquid) on the planet that will not spoil or rot.
Some people think it just turns to sugar.

In reality honey is always honey.
 
However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing".
When this happens I would loosen the lid, boil some water and let the honey container sit in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.

Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the e...

It is an autoimmune disease that affects about 1% of the population and may lead to damage in the digestive system.

However, 0.5–13% of people may also have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, a milder form of gluten intolerance that can still c...

The lanzones comes from the Mahogany family, reaching 30 meters (98 ft) in height and 75 centimeters (30 in) in diameter. For best growth, it needs acidic soil and partial shade without floods. It can be grown in the same agroforest as durian as well as among the wood-producing trees.

Also known as "vegetable confetti," microgreens are sometimes confused with sprouts — germinated seeds that are eaten root, seed and shoot. Microgreens, however, include a variety of edible immature greens, harvested with scissors less than a month after germination, when the plants are up to 2 inches tall.

Studies suggest that microgreens may contain high concentrations of nutrients compared with mature vegetables and herbs. Due to their high antioxidant content, microgreens are considere...

Micronutrients are one of the major groups of nutrients your body needs. They include vitamins and minerals.

Wheat (or Triticum spp. in Latin) is a worldwide known crop. Almost any national cuisine has something cooked from wheat: hundreds of recipes are based on wheat flour, from cookies to fermented beverages, as wheat is an affordable source of energy. Wheat is actually a sort of grass, and raw wheat is indigestible for people; therefore it should be properly cooked.

Oats (or Avena sativa in Latin) is a very famous cereal as well, it was actually considered beneficial for human health by medi...

Mulberries : Nutrition Facts and Health Benefits

Mulberries are the fruits of mulberry trees (Morus sp.) and related to figs and breadfruit.

The trees are traditionally grown for their leaves — mainly in Asia and North America — as they’re the only food that silkworms eat.

Caveman food was never cooked as fire was not yet tamed. Thus, he ate only those foods that you can eat without treatment with or by fire. He ate fruits, vegetables, fish (sushi anyone?), eggs, nuts and meat. Yes, even meat....

Surprising Health Hazards Associated with All-Fruit Diet

By Dr. Mercola

Fruits are loaded with healthy antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, which is why eating them in moderation is fine for healthy people. However, many benefit by restricting their fruit intake.

Fructose, a simple sugar found in fruit, is preferentially metabolized to fat in your liver, and eating large amounts has been linked to negative metabolic and endocrine effects. So eating very large amounts – or worse, nothi...
