			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I. What is raw food?</p>
<p>The raw diet is a kind of regime that must be at least 75% of the daily diet of raw vegetables and raw foods, or 115 degrees Fahrenheit can be heated or C 40, defined including fruit and vegetables and raw meat.</p>
<p>II What is a typical American diet?<br />
A typical American diet eat more than what he / she needs to reduce the function of the spleen and stomach in the absorption of food by long traffic jams.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>When it comes to food processing equipment, there are many health and safety regulations. There are also many health and safety regulations that are ignored, resulting in accidents and injuries of the digit variety among others.<br />
People do some stupid things when it comes to the safety of their fingers and thumbs. I&#8217;ve seen that first hand &#8211; excuse the pun! My brother in law decided to adjust the chain of his ride-on lawn mower while it was running bringing about the loss of one finger and lo and behold, the following year saw him stick his hand in the engine of a Land Rover losing another finger.<br />
Ok, so we may have multiple fingers where other body parts are usually limited to one or two but they are all there for a reason and we find it very difficult to manage without. My brother in law couldn&#8217;t play the piano after losing the first digit and gave up the guitar entirely once the second one was a gonna too.<br />
Of course, our hands are exposed all the time and this makes them more susceptible to damage. That is precisely why health and safety regulations are implemented and the thought of lost body parts in food processing equipment is a stomach churning thought.<br />
A plant in the UK that uses food processing equipment has seen two workers lose digits recently. They claim that the machinery had been reported as faulty recently but management had neglected to implement repairs. This food processing equipment plant supplies food to major supermarkets and in this age of compensation claims, they surely cannot afford to misplace digits.<br />
Workers who use vibrating machinery in cold temperatures, as food processing equipment often is, are also liable to the ravages of Vibration White finger. The results are pins and needles, tingling, whiteness of the fingers and numbness. In extreme cases, fingers can be lost and compensation claims for this have seen five figure sums being bandied about.<br />
A woman in the US has made a pretty good income of fake compensation claims. Her career has been brought to an abrupt end recently with the discovery of her antics. She claims to have bitten into a workers amputated finger in her burger in a fast food outlet in California. The bad publicity led to the loss of $2.5 million.<br />
The woman responsible, it was discovered, had done this before. Other establishments had paid her an out of court settlement to avoid bad press even though no workers had reported losing any fingers in food processing equipment. You&#8217;d think they would notice!<br />
The woman was actually able to produce a real finger that she had purchased for $100 from a construction worker who had it amputated in an earlier accident. How she managed this several times, I do not understand.<br />
Does she have a disembodied finger collection? Does she advertise for amputated body parts? Maybe she buys them over the internet &#8211; god knows, some people will sell anything these days!<br />
Of course, if extra fingers are freely available, it would give her a distinct advantage when it came to eating a bag of hula hoops. Even the extra big bags you can buy these days, or the multi packs, she could eat them in the same time it takes the average person to eat a small bag!<br />
I&#8217;m quite sure the hula hoop manufacturers are extremely careful when it comes to fingers in their food processing equipment. After all, what&#8217;s the point of advertising food that fits like a ring on your finger if the staff are a few digits short of a full hand?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>In China, food and its preparation has been developed so highly that it has reached the status of an art form. Rich and poor, the Chinese people consider that delicious and nutritious food is a basic necessity. There is an old Chinese saying &#8220;Food is the first necessity of the people&#8221;.</p>
<p>This art has been cultivated and refined over hundreds of years. Legend has it that the culture of Chinese cuisine originated in the 15th century BC during the Shang dynasty and was originally introduced by Yi Yin, it&#8217;s first Prime Minister.</p>
<p>The two dominant philosophies of Chinese culture both had extreme influences on the political and economic history of the country but it is less well known that they also influenced the development of the culinary arts.</p>
<p>Confucius emphasised the artistic and social aspects of cookery and eating. The Chinese don&#8217;t gather together without involving food &#8211; it is considered to be poor etiquette to invite friends to your home without providing appropriate food.</p>
<p>Confucius established standards of cooking and table etiquette, most of which remain to this day. The most obvious example of this is the cutting of bite-sized pieces of meat and vegetables during the course of the food preparation in the kitchen, rather than using a knife at the table which is not considered to be good manners.</p>
<p>Confucius also encouraged the blending of ingredients and flavourings to become a cohesive dish, rather than tasting the individual components. Harmony was his priority. He believed and taught that without harmony of ingredients there could be no taste. He also emphasised the importance of presentation and the use of colour, texture and decoration of a dish. Most importantly, cooking became an art rather than a task to be endured and certainly he was instrumental in promulgating the philosophy of &#8220;live to eat&#8221; rather than &#8220;eat to live&#8221;.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Tao encouraged research into the nourishment aspects of food and cookery. Rather than concentrating on taste and appearance, Taoists were more interested in the life-giving properties of food.</p>
<p>Centuries on, the Chinese have discovered the health-giving properties of all sorts of roots, herbs, fungus and plants. They have taught the world that the nutritional value of vegetables is destroyed by over-cooking (particularly boiling) and in addition have found that things with a great flavour also have medicinal value.</p>
<p>Home cooked Chinese food is extremely healthy, even though much of it is fried. This is due to the use of polyunsaturated oils (used only once and discarded) and the exclusion of dairy products. In addition the inclusion of animal fat is minimal because portions of meat are small.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>Food has been described as ambrosia and the elixir if life. For some, eating is a biological necessity for others it is a passion that can turn into an obsession. Experts define food addiction to be a disorder where the addict is preoccupied with food, the availability of food, and the pleasure of eating. There are three recognized addictions:</p>
<p>• Overeating, where the addict has no control over the amount or the number of times he eats. The person has no concept of being overweight or the servings a person must eat normally. Being an overeater, the addict will indulge in uncontrolled eating binges. Being obese, the addict will be prone to hypertension, diabetes, heart diseases, arthritis, and cancer.</p>
<p>• Bulimisa Nervosa, where the addict binges and then tries to maintain weight by vomiting, using laxatives, excessive exercise, or even fasting. Such addicts will develop dental problems like thinning of enamel, excessive number of cavities, swollen salivary glands, fluid and electrolyte disturbances, as well as calluses and scars.</p>
<p>• Anorexia Nervosa, where the addict fears weight gain and so starves himself. Obsessed with weight gain and body shape anorexics will exhibit obsessive behaviors in maintaining themselves. In the process, they develop problems like disruption of menstrual cycle, emancipation, hair loss, unhealthy skin pallor, and a lack or fluids.</p>
<p>The most common health problems are obesity, alcoholism, diabetes, bulimia, food allergies, and food intolerance.</p>
<p>The signs that you are addicted to food are:</p>
<p>• Uncontrolled cravings for particular foods. Some are addicted to sweets, others to soft drinks, yet others to coffee.</p>
<p>• Continuous or frequent eating. No fixed meal times an addict will eat throughout the day.</p>
<p>• Sharpened hunger on consumption of specific foods.</p>
<p>• Anxiety attacks, feelings of nervousness, low sugar, a headache, stomach gripes and grumbles.</p>
<p>• Withdrawal symptoms.</p>
<p>• Fatigue.</p>
<p>• Extreme irritations.</p>
<p>• Intolerance to foods.</p>
<p>• Feelings of guilt at having eaten.</p>
<p>The very cornerstones to curing the addiction are to:</p>
<p>• Identify and avoid what are known to be trigger foods or drinks.</p>
<p>• Put into practice a diet that is nutrient rich, healthy, and helps maintain or loose weight.</p>
<p>• Make lifestyle changes. Adopt a healthier lifestyle and include plenty of fresh air as well as exercise.</p>
<p>• Focus on personal and spiritual development. Seek inner peace, calm, and joy. Practice meditation and deep breathing.</p>
<p>• Plan to have activity filled days to distract the mind from food.</p>
<p>Even if you have a niggling doubt that you may be a food addict you must seek help. Nip the problem in the bud before it grows into something unmanageable and serious. You must consult a nutritionist, doctor, psychologist, or an eating addiction center or specialist. There are programs run by groups like Overeaters Anonymous that run 12-step programs which are extremely beneficial.</p></div>

<p>Odds are good that you know someone who suffers from food allergies &#8211; possibly a mild aversion to nuts, dairy, eggs, fish or some other food. You may even know someone who suffers from extreme allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, and must carry an epinephrine injector with them at all times in case of such a reaction.</p>
<p>But if you yourself suffer from food allergies, then you know firsthand the challenges of avoiding one or many kinds of foods, particularly in a society of refined food products that may often include all of the items you are allergic to even in a case where this seems unlikely.</p>
<p>This difficulty is compounded by the ambiguous ingredient listings which are often included on foods, with names such as &#8220;natural and artificial flavorings&#8221;.  As a way of helping consumers to deal with the sometimes unclear ingredient list on food products, Congress passed the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, which went into effect on January 1 of 2006.</p>
<p>This law mandates that food manufacturers declare when any one of the eight major allergens (milk, eggs, fish, tree nuts, soy, wheat, peanuts, crustaceans) are present in a food product. As such, if a product that you are examining on the shelf was packaged before January 1, it may not include the full declaration of allergenic substances.</p>
<p>That situation becomes increasingly unlikely as time goes on, however many products now have extremely long shelf lives &#8211; there may be product sitting on shelves for some time which was manufactured before the New Year.</p>
<p>When preparing foods if you or someone else in your family (or at an event) suffer from food allergies, be sure to pay close attention to the ingredients in anything that you use, as well as to use clean utensils to prevent the possibility of contamination from a previous usage.</p>
<p>Learn the specific scientific names for allergens, such as casein (allergen in milk)so that you know what to look for when examining labels. Living with food allergies is not easy, but with some effort you can avoid putting yourself or you allergy-suffering loved ones at risk.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">Today&#8217;s New York Madison Avenue marketing push is all about natural skin care products for beautiful skin.  Did you know the Japanese have simple food secrets for beautiful skin?</p>
<p>The leading Japanese food secret for beautiful skin starts by staying extremely hydrated.  It has been reported they drink 8-12 cups of green tea daily and significant quantities of spring or mineral water.  Western cultures recently recognize hydration as critical to the facial beauty we all desire.  Unfortunately, many of the products on the market are loaded with sugar and other sweeteners.  Japanese women have unequaled beauty as they age in their skin tone as a result of hydrating properly with simple mineral water and green tea.</p>
<p>European spas, on the other hand, have as a leading food secret for beautiful skin fasting at least monthly, but preferably weekly (if you have health problems consult a medical professional; but the absence of food is itself a food secret for beautiful skin).  Fasting may further aide other health problems such as overweight, acne, menopause symptoms, and glucose levels.</p>
<p>Food secrets for beautiful skin from many non-western cultures, is to totally avoid fried foods.  Skin that has lasting beauty and ageless beauty just cannot be maintained on a diet of fatty, greasy, fried foods.</p>
<p>Japanese food secrets for beautiful skin are largely driven by eating fresh, organic foods.  Stay away from packaged/processed/manufactured foods, refined sugars, and white flour, eat small quantities of meat, do eat mostly fish, and consume dairy in moderation except organic yogurts with active cultures, which should be consumed once daily.</p>
<p>One of the most significant Japanese food secrets for beautiful skin is in their consumption of raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts.  It has also been said using sesame oil for cooking, and even the consumption of one tablespoon per day directly, has mystical properties, which are the secret to the facial skin beauty Japanese women enjoy as they age.</p>
<p>It goes without saying that eating fast food, and certainly on any regular basis, could be the most unhealthy food consumption habit practiced by western cultures.</p>
<p>To summarize, Japanese food secrets for beautiful skin start with staying extremely hydrated by consuming green tea and mineral waters.  Totally avoid fast and fried foods, processed and manufactured foods at all costs.  Menopause symptom relief and skin that has natural and lasting beauty are clear side benefits of Japanese food secrets for beautiful skin.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>In September 2008, the world was shocked at the sight of little babies in China attached to dialysis machines as they fight for their lives. Yet, the news of contaminated milk formula did not gain much attention until it was realized that the melamine problem is not only restricted to China only but has actually spread globally. However, no ill effects of melamine has been reported outside China and its territories.</p>
<p>Melamine is an organic compound with the official IUPAC name of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine and the chemical formula of C3H6N6. It is a solid white-colored base, and is odorless. It is slightly soluble in water, stable, and not easily biodegradable.</p>
<p>Melamine is an industrial ingredient used to manufacture different kinds of products. It is used in combination with formaldehyde in the production of plastics and cleaning products. It is also combined with other compounds in the manufacture of fire retardants, pesticides, fertilizers, extra-strong concrete. Many things in our home have been manufactured with the use of melamine, from Formica counter tops, to certain fabrics, to plastic kitchenware (melaware).</p>
<p>Melamine has been thought to be of low risk to humans. According to this Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), melamine is &#8220;Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Chronic exposure may cause cancer or reproductive damage. Eye, skin and respiratory irritant.&#8221; The toxicity of melamine, however, is low. To be &#8220;poisoned&#8221; by melamine, as determined by the so-called LD50, which is the lethal dose that will kill 50% of animals tested, is 3 g per kg of body weight (source: WHO).</p>
<p>According to studies cited in the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), &#8220;melamine itself does not seem to be important industrial hazard except if decomposed by heat.&#8221; Allergic and irritative dermatitis have been observed to result from occupational exposure to melamine but no permanent injury due to toxicity has been reported.</p>
<p>Like most industrial chemicals, toxicological tests on melamine have been performed using animals to determine its potential toxicity to humans which include the formation of calcareous deposits in the kidneys of female rats after 13 weeks of feeding melamine-containing food (WHO) and tumors in the urinary bladders of male rats fed diets with melamine for 103 weeks (IARC). According to this later study, melamine and cyanuric acid together caused renal toxicity in cats, pigs, and fish. The study concluded that &#8220;although melamine and cyanuric acid appeared to have low toxicity when administered separately, they induced extensive renal crystal formation when administered together.</p>
<p>However, there are significant gaps in our knowledge of melamine and its effect on our body. The safety/risk assessment conducted by the US FDA did not give any clear answers. In food products other than infant formula, the FDA concludes levels of melamine and melamine-related compounds below 2.5 parts per million (ppm) do not raise health concerns.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the current melamine contamination scandal, however, it is not acute toxicity that caused the health problems. What is making the babies ill is chronic or subchronic toxicity. In addition, the toxicity of melamine increases when combined with another compound called cyanuric acid. Cyanuric acid theoretically non-toxic is present in food additives for animal feeds and in water disinfectants. Human exposure to cyanotic acid may be through swimming pool waters, drinking water, and fish. The combination of these two compounds can lead to acute toxicity, as it produces melamine cyanurate, a toxic substance in the form of insoluble crystals that then accumulated in vital organs, especially the kidneys, forming renal crystals or kidney stones that block kidney tubules.</p>
<p>It is speculated that manufacturers mixed melamine in milk formulas to increase the protein content of their products. Food products are tested for protein content by measuring nitrogen content. Looking at the chemical composition of melamine, we can see that it has high nitrogen content.</p>
<p>This not the first time that melamine was used deliberately as protein content enhancer although this is the most deadly so far. In 2007, many cats and dogs died of kidney failure as a result of the formation of renal crystals or kidney stones. The cause of the renal toxicity was traced to melamine which was detected in pet food. Melamine-cyanuric acid cocrystals were found in the animals&#8217; kidneys and the case was well-publicized. It is therefore highly unlikely that the perpetrators who tainted the baby formulas are unaware of the hazards of melamine consumption.</p>
<p>But this year&#8217;s melamine scandal was more shocking than last year&#8217;s because it affected and killed little babies. The following is a summary of events.</p>
<p>September 2008 &#8211; Fourteen babies in the Chinese province of Gansu were reported to be suffering from kidney stones, a very rare occurrence in young children. The suspected cause was the milk formula they were drinking. More and more cases of ill babies were reported all over China. The milk powder in question was manufactured by the Sanlu Group.</p>
<p>The US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) issued a health information advisory on infant formulas. The advisory &#8220;is to assure the American public that there is no known threat of contamination in infant formula manufactured by companies that have met the requirements to sell infant formula in the United States&#8230; The following manufacturers have met the necessary FDA requirements for marketing milk-based infant formulas in the United States: Abbott Nutritionals, Mead Johnson Nutritionals, Nestle USA, PBM Nutritionals, and Solus Products LLC.&#8221;</p>
<p>The director of the Chinese agency General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine resigned as investigations showed that the melamine contamination is quite widespread. Tests showed that milk products of up to 22 dairy producers were contaminated with melamine.</p>
<p>The US FDA updated the advisory to issue a list of contaminated products manufactured in Taiwan, including Mr. Brown instant coffee and milk tea products.</p>
<p>The New Zealand Food safety Authority found melamine in China&#8217;s most popular sweet White Rabbit Creamy Candies.</p>
<p>The UK chocolate maker Cadbury recalled its Chinese-made products after chocolates from their Beijing factory tested positive for melamine, according to this International Herald Tribune report.</p>
<p>October 2008 &#8211; The problem spread to Europe. Chinese candies contaminated with melamine were found in an Asian supermarket in Germany. There were also reports of contaminated food products in Belgium and the Netherlands. The US FDA detected melamine in Blue Cat Flavor Drinks.</p>
<p>The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a warning against the consumption of Sherwood Brands Pirate&#8217;s Gold Milk Chocolate Coins which tested positive for melamine. It was not clear how the contamination occurred.</p>
<p>The numbers of ill babies rose up to tens of thousands. Eighty percent of those affected were below the age of 2. Four cases proved to be fatal. China also recalled not only powdered milk but also liquid milk manufactured during the last couple of months.</p>
<p>Hong Kong found excessive amounts of melamine in eggs coming from mainland China. Officials suspected that the contamination came through melamine in the chicken feeds. They have ordered testing of all animal feeds and poultry products from the mainland. &#8220;Hong Kong has imposed a limit on melamine use in foods, restricting it to no more than 2.5 milligrams per kilogramme. Melamine found in food meant for children under three and lactating mothers should be no higher than one mg per kg&#8221;, according to the BBC.</p>
<p>November 2008 &#8211; The US FDA issued a nationwide alert warning for Chinese import food products and found traces of melamine in one baby formula made by an American manufacturer. The regulatory body claimed the contamination was accidental but did not go into details.</p>
<p>December 2008 &#8211; Food Standards Australia New Zealand issued a list of products contaminated with melamine.</p>
<p>The US FDA tried to assure the American public that American-produced formulas are safe from contamination. &#8220;To date, FDA tests have found extremely low levels of melamine in one infant formula sample and extremely low levels of cyanuric acid in another. The levels were so low (well below 1 ppm) that they do not pose a health risk to infants.&#8221; The FDA made public the test results on domestic infant formula. Good Start Supreme Infant Formula with Iron from Nestle contained very low amounts of melamine. In addition, cyanotic acid was found in one type of Enfamil from the manufacturer Mead Johnson.</p>
<p>On the part of the Chinese health authorities, they are trying to repair the damage through recalls and arrests of those responsible. Developing countries, however, which do not have the means to test import products, are at risk of becoming dumping grounds of contaminated products.</p>
<p>The best strategy is to simply avoid melamine at all costs. Consumers are advised to be vigilant about what they buy and consume, most especially products consumed by children in large quantities. These include milk and milk products, chocolates, sweets, and biscuits.</p></div>

<p>Lamb is a good source of zinc, a mineral that affects many fundamental processes, perhaps the most important of which is immune function. If one mineral were singled out for its beneficial effects on the immune system, zinc would lead the pack. A cofactor in a wide variety of enzymatic reactions, zinc is critical not only to immune function, but for wound healing, and normal cell division. Zinc also helps stabilize blood sugar levels and the body&#8217;s metabolic rate, and is necessary for an optimal sense of smell and taste.</p>
<p>Very tasty Lamb is the meat from young sheep that are less than one year old. It is usually available in five different cuts including the shoulder, rack, shank/breast, loin and leg. Americans eat a fraction of the amount of lamb consumed in many other countries in the world. And that&#8217;s too bad since this red meat is very healthful and extremely delicious, having a very tender and buttery quality.</p>
<p>A few great choices for your holiday celebrations include a roasted whole bone in leg of lamb, a roasted boneless leg stuffed with seasonal ingredients, or a roasted rack of lamb. While Lamb makes up only a fraction of the meat eaten in the United States, it is used in a myriad of wonderful recipes throughout the world. When lamb is labeled as &#8220;spring lamb&#8221; it signifies that lamb that was brought to market during the spring and summer months which was formerly the season for fresh lamb. However, lamb is now available throughout the year, and the label &#8220;spring lamb&#8221; does not necessarily connote additional quality. The Very cheap and fresh lamb is available in our shop.</p>
<p>Fresh boneless filet of fish stewed with a ragout of onions, tomato, and feta cheese. Easter is traditionally the time for lamb. If you&#8217;re planning to serve it, but haven&#8217;t yet decided how, this is quite nice; the mustard and herbs do an excellent job of balancing lamb&#8217;s richness. Please purchase online www.indomunch.com in NewYork city.</p></div>
