POPSNatural Sweetener Ancient Romans and Greeks recognized that honey was an excellent source of energy for athletes. With the advances in technology we are better able to understand the benefits of honey sugar, and how to manipulate it for everything from candy to complex sauces, but many people are ignorant of the antioxidant benefits honey can offer.

POPSFood of the week: Cauliflower Cauliflower traces its ancestry to the wild cabbage, a plant thought to have originated in ancient Asia Minor, which resembled kale or collards more than the vegetable that we now know it to be. The cauliflower went through many transformations and reappeared in the Mediterranean region, where it has been an important vegetable in Turkey and Italy since at least 600 B.C. It gained popularity in France in the mid-16th century and was subsequently cultivated in Northern Europe and the British Isles. The United States, France, Italy, India and China are countries that produce significant amounts of cauliflower.

POPSMSG: the secret behind the savor More: I made two versions of pad kee mao, with and without Maggi, and while both were good, the one with MSG had the kind of round flavor I’d normally associate with homemade chicken stock or some form of professional expertise. Tasted straight, though, the sauces had the chemical, tangy aftertaste common to many processed foods. “Too much MSG and you get that harsh, acrid taste,” said Mr. Pelaccio, who uses an empty barrel of Ajinomoto-brand MSG he found on the street as a plant stand in his Chinatown apartment. “But get it just right and that dish will sing.”… The role of MSG in food, and its effects on health, remain controversial…MSG is blamed by some groups for a range of serious neurological and physiological disorders…But no large-scale clinical research has been done since the F.D.A.’s 1995 review.

POPSWould You Reconsider Your Sugar Intake?? I saw this link through BuzzFeed.com. I would not be anymore awestruck then the next blog viewer(s). They already received enough complaints about the sugars cubes as illustrations. They have a blog & a Twitter for you to follow. They also have following categories: beverages, desserts, snakes, fruits, vegetables, candy, cookies, sauces, breakfast foods, shakes & smoothies. I really would not reconsider my sugar intake even with 16 sugar cubes 4 a 1 litre of coca cola. Our daily diet pyramid charts are not well, appropriate for the modern day diets or for some of the needs of the people. Thats another blog entry to discuss about. What do you think about this sugar blocks? http://www.sugarstacks.com/
