Antioxidants can be Tasty and Healthy

I'm not touting only soy polyphenols (see phytochemicals also) here but rather the healthful antioxidant properties which may be found in polyphenols in general. You have choices in this area between soybeans, grapes (whole red grapes, that is), and even in red wine (which, as you know, is made from red grapes). Although, it is in a less concentrated form in grapes and red wine. There are others, too. God provided abundant ways to nourish you through clean foods (i.e., natural foods).

It's ironic, there is controversy in the field of study about how relevant biomarkers are as predictors of disease risk but, polyphenols have been found to "clearly improve the status of different oxidative stress biomarkers" (Scalbert, Johnson, & Saltmarsch, 2005) as published in the supplemental issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Polyphenol rich plants and their extracts, too, have been used on a widespread basis as herbal remedies or medicinal agents in aiding the 'healing of wounds, burns and inflammations as they act to produce an impervious layer by which the natural processes of healing can happen' Dolara et al., 2001). They appear, also, to purify or cleanse the blood stream.

Don't expect pharmaceutical companies to do much in this area as success would defeat the profit-making motive of their existence which is ensured by the abundant side effects of their drugs and pills.

Eat well and be well!

Thank You

Just wanted to say thanks to Sanaz in tech support who personally relisted our files on the server so our site could be up again. It was much appreciated and it was a good customer service experience.

Eat well and be well!

Website restored

Our Web host had server problems beginning day before yesterday and our site was down for almost two days. This was the first time any such even had occurred since we launched our Website in 2004. Moreover, two days downtime seems an inordinately long period of time and I have already begun to research alternative hosting companies. I'm watching the situation to see how things play out before taking the next step.

We apologize to any and everyone for any inconvenience the downtime may have caused.

Eat well and be well!

Updates

You will have noticed that we've published a new Website and a newly added Welcome page as well. We'll be making more additions as time permits. As usual, we're continuing our focus on keeping a relentless drive for quality and good taste standards with a eye toward offering the best products to the people we serve.

The first newsletter of the new year has just been sent (you should already have that) and I can't encorage you more to have a look at the free video linked to the newsletter. It's free if you view it online but otherwise you will have to purchase the DVD. I think everyone in America and around the globe ought to know what's been done and being done with our food sources without us being told. We will continue to keep you informed as we are continually learning new things all the time.

in case you're wondering what happened to all the images of our delicious baked goods on the Website, they're not gone but are being photoshopped at the moment and will be re-published soon enough.

Our cafe is still open for business so don't let the construction bother you. It will be completed soon.

My recommendation to everyone wanting Rum Cakes should order them as soon as possible to avoid having to wait in line. Fresh takes more time but it's always worth the wait. We make it that way every time, guaranteed.

Eat well and be well!
