Olive oil

Comments

 
Picture
yellow to yellowish-green oil pressed from ripe olives, used in food (as salad and cooking oil), medicines, soap.
High in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) considered a healthy dietary fat, as opposed to saturated fats and trans fats.
Olive oil protects against heart disease by keeping 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol levels in check, raising the quantity of good (HDL) cholesterol.It is also easy on the digestion providing beneficial, calming effect on stomach ulcers.

If cooking with olive oil, use low heat, safely lower than its smoke point (207°C or 405°F) after which it loses its flavor and fatty acid composition, potentially making it less healthy.

Pickles

Comments

 
Picture
small cucumbers (about 4oz, 7 cubic inches, 70 grams each) preserved in vinegar, brine, or a similar solution. Popular snacks or side dishes. Good source of fiber and magnesium that aid digestion and spices such as turmeric that may be able to prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Lacto-fermented pickles are also rich in probiotics and live enzymes.

Fermented pickles (also called brined pickles and dill pickles) are prepared by soaking cucumbers in brine for several weeks. During this period, lactic acid bacteria that are salt tolerant, produce lactic acid from natural sugars in cucumbers (as the salt leaches sugars out from the cucumbers). A succession of microbes is involved. Streptococci start the process, producing acid. As the pH falls, types of Leuconostoc, Pediococcus and Lactobacillus grow, making more acid. Fresh-pack pickles are not fermented. hey are are prepared by soaking cucumbers in brine, then drained and covered with a boiling hot pickling solution containing vinegar and spices. 

Excessive consumption could increase blood pressure because of high sodium content, cause bloating and diarrhea.

Deo Perfume Candy

Comments

 
Picture
Deo Perfume Candy is marketed as a functional food that leaves your skin with a beautiful rose fragrance. The claims are based on 
research published in 2006, showing that ingested rose oil makes our palms to exude smell like aromatic compounds, such as Geraniol, through the  skin. The strength and duration of the rose fragrance is said to depend upon body weight. Anecdotal evidence, however, does not point to a noticeable pleasant smell after eating the candy. 

The ingredients in Deo Perfume Candy are sugar, glucose syrup, citric acid, malic acid, geraniol (12 mg per serving - 4 pieces of candy), rose oil, carmine and natural tangerine flavor. The sugar-free version of Deo Perfume Candy contains Isomalt (a sugar substitute), acesulfame potassium, citric acid, malic acid, geraniol, rose oil and natural tangerine flavor. The rose oil used in Deo Perfume Candy is an essential oil extracted from Rosa damascena, a species of rose harvested by hand in Bulgaria. Two thousand petals are needed to create a single gram of rose oil. Not for people with perfume allergies and chemical sensitivities.
