Onions: Veggie Tales
Published by November 13th, 2008 in Green Eating & Living and MyDocHub. 1 Comment
Onions rank sixth among the world’s leading vegetable crops. Their relatives include leeks, garlic and shallots. Botanically, they are members of the allium or Alliaceae family, whose main characteristic is pungent smell or sharp taste when layers of the outer skin are cut.
The tears we shed when slicing or chopping an onion are caused because sulfur-containing amino acids come into contact with enzymes that form volatile compounds. One compound strikes the tongue and the other irritates the eyes by turning into sulfuric acid. The older the bulb, the stronger the fumes.
Cooking causes chemical changes that render the taste milder. Some of these odor compounds are converted into a substance that is sweeter than table sugar. When onions are caramelized, all that sugar turns golden brown.
Although onions are low in most nutrients they may have certain health benefits, including lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. They also contain a substance that interferes with the formation of blood clots.
Shallots, also a member of this group, are milder-tasting and may be used in dishes requiring a more delicate flavor, such as sauces and garnishes.
Scallions are the same plant as true onions. They are pulled from the ground while their tops are still green and bulbless. Green onions are allowed to develop to the miniature bulb stage. Chives are also a member of this family. Like scallions, they never form a true bulb. They are used mostly for seasoning and garnish.

Obese Children Have Arteries of a 45-Year-Old
Published by November 12th, 2008 in Dafé’s Café - Daily Dose of Medical News and MyDocHub. 0 Comments
If your kids are obese, take heed. New studies show that these kids may be aging faster than expected, to the tune of 30 years faster. According to the research, “obese children and teens with abnormal cholesterol had thicker carotid arteries, the arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain. Thickened neck arteries are a sign of fatty buildup of plaque within the arteries feeding the heart muscle and brain.” Basically an obese 13-year-old, has the arteries of a 45-year-old.
