Not so healthy HEALTH FOOD

^{1 1-}RTD (ready to drink) juices

These so called healthy juices have huge amount of sugar present in them. The current processing technology is not so advance now that we can preserve juices without sugar. However work is being done to produce sterilized juice [using cold

processing].

22 - Whole wheat biscuits

Commercially it is very difficult for companies to produce high fibre or whole wheat biscuits and also if the companies start to use whole wheat

The smooth texture of the biscuit will be lost. Whole wheat is added but in some proportion around 10-20%

3-whole wheat noodles/ Maggie

Again the same explanation, extruding high fibre noodles is a tedious job and also while doing so the texture is compromised. So companies do add whole wheat to noodles but in small proportions.

4- Brown bread

Anyone who has tasted the real brown bread can differentiate the difference. Whenever whole grains are used to produce bread texture is compromised. So be smart enough and choose wisely. What these big brands do is they caramelize the wheat to develop brown colour.

WHITE RICE VS BROWN RICE

WHITE RICE VS BROWN RICE - WHICH IS BETTER? Ending the long Debate – By Dev. I still recall the Cadbury advertisement from when I was between the ages of 13 and 14, which warned: "Waste waste waste" if you don't add Bournvita to your milk, the calcium in the milk will be lost. Vitamin D being a precursor for the absorption of Calcium. The Advertisement claimed that their product helps in better absorption of calcium as their product is fortified with vitamin D. An average person gets enough vitamin D from sunlight and home-cooked food. The majority of commercially available milk is also fortified with vitamin D before being put on the market. Following a lawsuit against Cadbury, the advertisement had to be taken down. This is a common application of the scare strategy. Marketers frequently employ scare tactics like this to persuade consumers to purchase one product over another. I frequently encounter the question, " White rice or brown rice, which is better ,&

A Death Pin in your Brew

Ontario has just witnessed its first flurry and I was out in the morning , chilly winds blowing through my hair with a cup of Chai tea in my hand and the words , ` There is something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation of life.’ - by Lin Yutang made so much sense . It is the second most consumed drink , second only to the water. Health benefits of tea have been highlighted in manuscripts , for years it was believed that it caused a placebo effect-but as the modern day science unraveled tea , it has provided a basis for this belief. Tea has been cultivated for years around the world not merely for its taste but also for medicinal properties and every research published in scientific literature provides a stronger evidence for these claims. Tea is loaded with antioxidants and polyphenolic compounds ( catechins and theaflavins) that provide most if not all the health benefits . They have been shown to be beneficial in cardiovascular disease

Food Allergies.

Hey my People, I recently got the opportunity to work in a food biotech lab with allergens , and while doing so I found myself stumbled upon this horrific thought. What if I could Die from a Kiss? Well for most of us this sounds far fetched from reality but if you are allergic to Peanuts and you kissed your partner who had peanuts right before kissing you, light out for you my friend. Food Allergies have been around for Decades, people have been suffering from them from time unknown. Just like it's origin , it’s mechanism is also unknown. Researches and studies show that certain proteins trigger the reaction, but in order to learn about allergies let’s dig a little deeper. Food allergies are usually caused by the big 8 (90% cases) :- Milk Eggs Peanuts Tree nuts Fish Shellfish Wheat Soy but are not limited to these food products. Peanut allergy is the most common allergy in the US affecting 1 in 40 children. Who knew that a harmless looking peanut butter jar c
