An Apple A Day - Celebrate Our Favourite Fruit!

This week I managed to scrump a particularly perfect wind-fallen apple, and share it with my daughters. The first juicy crunch transported me back to my childhood garden where my swing and rope ladder swung in the shade of the apple trees. My mum and I would feast on fresh apples every day during apple-season, taking for granted the intense lemon-apple-sherbet taste of a newly picked fruit. At the end of the summer we would visit a house on the edge of our town where a lady sold tiny red Beauty of Bath apples from her garden; the taste was sublime, but the gift of each fruit was the red flesh under the skin, fading to the delicate pink of apple blossom; each bite revealing a new palette of colour.

Botulism Recall - What You Need To Know

Although most foodborne illness is called “Food poisoning” by the common man, most sickness caused by food is not “poisoning,” per se, but bacterial infections that are ingested by eating affected food. However, there has been recent news of a bona fide food poisoning outbreak. Four victims have been sickened with suspected botulism after ingesting hot dog chili sauce thought to contain the toxin. 10-ounce cans of Castleberry’s, Austex and Kroger brands of hot dog chili sauce with “best by” dates from April 30, 2009, through May 22, 2009 are suspected to be the ones affected, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The History Of Rum

An early alcoholic drink, rum has been around since ancient times. Nothing if not old, it is practically forced to walk with a (sugar) cane. Though it wasn’t first distilled in plantations until the 17th century, rum is believed to have existed thousands of years prior in the form of brum, a drink made by the Malay people. In the 14th century, Marco Polo (the explorer, not the swimming pool game) wrote about a wine made of sugar, giving further credence to the belief that rum was around before the 1600’s.

The Best Anti-aging Supplement For Baby Boomers

Baby Boomers need not suffer through the aches and pains of life as we age. One of the best supplements is the Acai Berry. Packed full of preventative alternatives for medicine to help you age gracefully.

Acai Berries contain VERY HIGH amounts of essential fatty acids & omegas which have proven to lower LDL (bad cholesterol) & maintain HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Essential amino acid complex along with trace minerals are vital for proper muscle contraction and regeneration. Aside from the energy and fluid replacement, Acai Berries provide a nutrition profile complete with vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids (omega 6 and 9). The fatty acid ratio in Acai resembles that of olive oil. Studies suggest this is a contributing factor to the low incidence of heart disease in Mediterranean populations.
