Quick Yummy Pasta Meals Yet Also Healthy

Pasta meals can be both quick and yummy and can be also healthy as well. Below are some of my pasta mixes that are worth repeating. They're yummy, easy to prepare and only takes longer in boiling. The good thing? As one boils the pasta, that person can o something else at the same time. In the end, only a couple of minutes is wasted.. The 3 dishes listed below were practical mixes as we don't live in Italy, otherwise we would have the original ingredients or created something else that's abundant in the province during a particular season. One example is the broccoli, we used to turnip back in Italy but we do not have any idea where to look nfor turnip near where we live in the Netherlands. The dishes below is more like "be practical and adapt"...

Homemade Own Pasta Dish 1: Farfalle in salted anchovies with tuna in olive oil.








Homemade Own Pasta Dish 2: Penne with Courgette and Ham in Cream.... Yummy (not as healthy as the others...)

The Top Five Cancer Causing Foods

Another e-mail. The e-mail says that I forward to my friends but since again, as I have said, all of you are my online buddies, I share this with you as well. It is not my position to tell you what to do, eventhough I may make some suggestions in most of my posts. The decision is still with you. I simply present here the facts or my opinion. Sometimes we know that some foods or drinks are not good for us. However, it is difficult to stop eating or drinking the food and drinks we like or crave for without a strong reason. Now, the following food are believed to be not so good. Why? Now we will see why.

Top Five Cancer Causing Foods1. Hot dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.

Top Five Cancer Causing Foods2. Processed meats and bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

3.Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

Top Five Cancer Causing Foods4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .

Top Five Cancer Causing Foods
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies

All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Now You know and now you have a choice. Just choose wisely what to eat. Live a healthy and sexy life. Live long!

Vitamin C and Shrimp Incompatibility

The following message was forwarded by a friend in my email. She lives and work in Singapore now while I am here in Netherlands. She's my very close friend and we were so close in university for around six years in total including our post university extensive study. This friend is also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). I have no way to verify if the following message is an email hoax but I reasoned that there is no harm in getting careful. The shrimp and vitamin c impact can kill? I am not really sure and if this email really did happen, that could be true so be careful with your vitamin C and shrimp eating.

Taiwan, a woman suddenly died unexpectedly with signs of bleeding from  her ears, nose, mouth & eyes. After a preliminary autopsy it was  diagnosed death due to arsenic poisoning death. Where did the arsenic  come from?  The police launched an in-depth and extensive investigation. A medical  school professor was invited to come to solve the case.The professor carefully looked at the contents from the deceased's  stomach, in less than half an hour, the mystery was solved. The professor said: 'The deceased did not commit suicide and neither was she murdered, she died of accidental death due to ignorance!' Everyone was puzzled, why accidental death? The arsenic is of the U.S. military for carrying rice seedlings H Gao. The professor said: 'The arsenic is produced in the stomach of the deceased.' The deceased used to take 'Vitamin C' everyday, which in itself is not a problem. The problem was that she ate a large portion of shrimp/prawn during dinner. Eating shrimp/prawn is not the problem that's why nothing happened to her family ever though they took the same shrimp/prawn. However at the same time the deceased also took 'vitamin C', that is where the problem is! <br />

Researchers at the University of Chicago in the United States , found through experiments, food such as soft-shell shrimp/prawn contains a much higher concentration of - five potassium arsenic compounds. Such fresh food by itself has no toxic effects on the human body! However, in taking 'vitamin C', due to the chemical reaction, the original non-toxic – five potassium arsenic (As anhydride, also known as arsenic oxide, the chemical formula for As205) changed to a three potassium toxic arsenic (ADB arsenic anhydride), also known as arsenic  trioxide, a chemical formula (As203),which is commonly known as arsenic to the public! Arsenic poisoning have magma role and can cause paralysis to the small blood vessels, ">
