Foods for fighting Cancer
Fruit is recognised as one of the most powerful foods for helping the body fight Cancer. Surprisingly, the homely prune is the fruit with the highest cancer-fighting powers. Previously it was believed that oranges and spinach were the best anti-cancer fruit and vegetables. The research team, from Tufts University in Boston, has released the results of its study on the Internet. Researchers measured fruits and vegetables for their oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC) which is the capacity of foods to absorb free radicals.
Free radicals are destructive elements which occur in our bodies when healthy oxygen molecules are transformed into a highly-reactive, unstable form of oxygen. It is believed that they can lead to illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. Anti-oxidants however, can neutralise these free radicals. The new study says that the anti-oxidant power of blood in people who eat prunes increases dramatically. Eating prunes would cause the anti-oxidant power in the blood to double or treble compared with eating other recognised cancer-fighting fruits.Fruit PointsPrunes 5770Raisins 2830Blackberries 2036Strawberries 1540Raspberries 1220Pums 949Oranges 750Red grapes 739Vegetables PointsKale 1770Spinach 1260Brussels sprouts 980Broccoli 890Red peppers 710Onions 450.

Tiny Devices to Feed Advances in Food Safety and Quality
(ContentDesk) February 23, 2006 -- The GoodFood project aims to do just that by using micro and nanotechnology to develop portable devices to detect toxins, pathogens and chemicals in foodstuffs on the spot. Food samples would no longer have to be sent to a laboratory for tests a comparatively lengthy and costly procedure but could be analysed for safety and quality at the farm, during transport or storage, in a processing or packaging centre or even in a supermarket. The aim is to achieve full safety and quality assurance along the complete food chain, explains Carles Can?, the coordinator of the IST programme-funded project at the National Microelectronics Centre in Spain.Sensors used for screening The tiny biomechanical and microelectronic sensors can be used to screen for virtually any pathogen or toxin in any produce, although the project partners are focusing their research on quality and safety analysis for dairy goods, fruit and wine.For the dairy sector they are developing...

Fairtrade, Organic or Locally Produced Food?
Again, I find myself torn apart with choices when deciding which is the most ethical, eco friendly and/or healthy option when it comes to shopping for food and non-food products.
Should I buy food and products that support workers in Third World by buying Fairtrade labelled products even though these goods normally travel thousands of miles from Africa, South America or South East Asia? What if these foods were produced with the use of pesticides and additives?
It makes sense then to look for and to buy Fairtrade, organic food to both help the producers in the Third World and fulfil my lifestyle choice to eat healthy and additive/pesticide free food. Thankfully, many producers are now wising up to this dilemma by increasingly producing organic and Fairtrade labelled products. I am currently using Fairtrade, organic t-bags at home! Now comes another important question, should I buy Fairly Traded organic sugar from Kenya that has travelled thousands of miles,...

Incorporate Yourself
At the superficial level, incorporating a business is easy. It includes filing articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State where one is incorporating. However, there are lots of issues that need to be resolved before the process is complete like deciding the type of corporation and the state where one wants to incorporate.
Incorporating requires expert knowledge of business laws and consequences, tax compliances and other regulations. It is wise to seek the advice of a lawyer...
