避免使用canola oil芥花油
這是第一次讀到這樣的資訊，請詳閱！另附原文報告提供各位參考。
標榜是植物油的Canola Oil來自什麼植物呢？如果去查字典，會發現根本沒有這個字，但是，在市場上，Canola oil多半被翻譯成芥花油，事實上，這個字是一個複合字，來自Canada和Oil的組合，因為這種油產自於加拿大。它並非來自自然植物，而是在加拿大，產自於將rapeseed植物進行基因工程改造的一種油脂。
rapeseed植物是芥花(mustard plant)家族的一支，所以廠商很技巧的將之翻譯為芥花油，但是他和真正的芥花油(mustard oil)卻孑然不同。
rapeseed植物是一種有毒植物，人類或動物都不能食用，長久以來都被使用於工業用途，例如：製作驅蟲劑，效果顯著、工業潤滑油、肥皂、色料....等。所以，他並非食物。而canola oil是用基因改造之後的rapeseed來製作。
在飲食界一片害怕動物油脂，主張植物性油脂的聲浪下，因為rapeseed種植成本低廉，canola oil悄悄的進入食用油市場，國外相關利益單位甚至花費了5000萬給FDA，說canola oil是安全的油脂，但是，事實是，canola oil會造成許多可怕的危險，包含肺癌等。
避免使用含有 canola oil 的食物 - 通常甚至土司、奶油含有canola oil。所以，下回到超市買東西時，一定要細讀「產品成份」。

Canola Oil Report
The following is adapted from reportage beginning in 1996 by Tom Valentine under the trade names of Carotec, Search for Health, and True Health based in Naples , Florida , and Mary Enig, Ph.D., who is the current world authority on trans–fatty acids.   www.enig.com  A short piece from Acres USA, March 2001 acts as an introduction to the report.

The Straight Dope on Canola Oil
"Is canola oil not a healthy oil? I have a small business helping people with health and wellness, and I was lead to believe canola oil was "good" oil. I trust your research and truly enjoy the newspaper." — Bonnie Hach, Alta, Iowa
(Acres' response)  We've all been told at some time or another that canola is one of the healthiest oils on the market. Canola, which is an amalgam of the words "Canada" (whence it originated) and "oil," is actually derived from the rapeseed, a member of the mustard family which is generally unfit for human consumption and was once more commonly used as a potent pesticide and lubricant, among other things. Chemically, canola breaks down at 5% saturated fat, 57% oleic acid, 23% omega–6, and 10–15% omega–3.
The reason canola is particularly unsuited for consumption is because it contains a very–long–chain fatty acid called erucic acid, which under some circumstances is associated with fibrotic heart lesions.
Sally Fallon, author of Nourishing Traditions, notes that the omega–3 fatty acids of processed canola oil are transformed during the deodorizing process into trans–fatty acids. She relates that one study indicated that "heart healthy" canola oil actually created a deficiency of vitamin E, which, as many of us know, is essential to our cardiovascular health. And on the practical side of things, canola isn't that good either. Because of its high sulphur content, it goes rancid easily, and baked goods used with the oil develop molds rather quickly.




It has been very much in vogue in healthfood circles to praise canola oil as very healthy oil — high in polyunsaturates, while condemning tropical oils such as coconut or palm oil as being saturated and unhealthy.
The high praise for canola is propaganda put forth by the Canadian government because "canola," a hybridized rape plant, is one of that nation's chief export products. Rapeseed oil contains toxic erucic acid. Canola has much less erucic acid in it.
Healthfood store operators parrot the hype without checking any facts. Consumers search out various products with canola oil in them because they believe this is somehow much healthier than other oils. All foodgrade canola, including the varieties sold in healthfood stores, are deodorized from its natural terrible stink with 300 degree F. high–temperature refining. You cannot cook a vegetable oil at that temperature and leave behind anything much edible.
Research at the University of Florida– Gainsesville, determined that as much as 4.6% of all the fatty acids in canola are "trans" isomers (plastic) due to the refining process. Contrary to popular opinion, saturated fats, especially those found in coconut oil are not harmful to health, but are important nutrition. There are no trans isomers in unrefined coconut butter, for example. This refers to many published research papers by Mary Enig, Ph.D. that refutes all the establishment propaganda condemning saturated fats.
In 1996, the Japanese announced a study wherein a special canola oil diet had actually killed laboratory animals. Reacting to this unpublished, but verified and startling information, a duplicate study was conducted by Canadian scientists using piglets and a canola oil based milk replacer diet.
In this second study published in Nutrition Research, 1997, v17, the researchers verified that canola oil somehow depleted the piglets of vitamin E to a dangerously low level.
In the abstract of the study, the Canadian researchers made the following remarkable statement: It is known that ingestion of oils containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of the n–3 and n–6 series results in a high degree of unsaturation in membrane phospholipids, which in turn may increase lipid peroxidation, cholesterol oxidation, free radical accumulation and membrane damage. All very bad attributes.
That statement is remarkable because PUFA is considered essential to a healthy diet. Yet none of the above listed results of eating it may be considered healthy. So now we have something seemingly brand new to the dietary health arena.
Here the Canadians are condemning any oil that contains essential fatty acids. EFAs cannot stand heat. They turn rancid quickly. Proper processing, i.e., cold pressing, and protection from oxy! gen for storage is paramount with EFAs. Mainstream toxic commercial food making requires complete removal of EFAs lest shelf life disappear in smelly rancidity.
Absent the removal of EFAs, few manufactured toxic chemical foods would make it out of the warehouse. So, here we have Canadians telling us that their country's main oil export kills little animals. They suggest that perhaps it was the health giving EFAs left in the canola oil after it had been scorched at temperatures above 300 degrees farenheit to get rid of the EFAS. They don't tell you that whatever EFAs are left in the oil, are now poisonous rancid fats. It may be that the now toxic remnants are what's killing the vitamin E, and killing the little piggies. I think the Canadians produced that deceptive half truth to protect their careers from grant drought.
Firstly, the idea of something depleting vitamin E rapidly is an alarming development. Vitamin E is absolutely essential to human health, and when so much PUFA is available to die t! as it is today, the demand evidently becomes even more imperative because tocopherols control the lipid peroxidation that results in dangerous free radical activity, which causes lesions in arteries and other problems.
Canola oil now has been shown to be a very heavy abuser of tocopherols or vitamin E, with the potential for rapidly depleting a body of the important vitamin. The researchers did not know what factors in the canola oil were responsible. They reported that other vegetable seed oils did not appear to cause the same problem in piglets.

Genetically Manipulated Canola
Seed Gets Loose In The Fields

Monsanto announced in April 1997, that it was recalling genetically engineered canola seed because an unapproved gene slipped into the batch by mistake. The canola seed had been genetically manipulated to resist the herbicide toxicity of Roundup, which is Monsanto's top money making product. The recall involved 60,000 bags containing two types of canola seed, which is enough to plant more than 700,000 acres. Both types of seed have the wrong gene in them. The genes in the recalled seed have not been approved for human consumption.
A spokesman for Limagrain Canada Seeds, which was selling the seeds under a Monsanto license, said that experts are trying to determine how the mistake occurred. "We may never know how this happened", he lamented.
The implications of this error are serious. No one in his right mind is unconcerned about genetic manipulations getting lost.
On January 26, 1998 Omega Nutrition, one of the major producers of organic, cold pressed oils for the health food store market published a press release. The release states that if you are cooking with canola oil of any quality, you might as well be using margarine. In the case of refined canola oil, the important health benefits have been processed away — leaving the consumer with the nutrition of say, white flour — and, dangerous trans–fatty acids have replaced a lot of the beneficial omega 3 essential fatty acids.
Oils high in omega 3 are not capable of taking high temperatures. Heating canola distorts the fatty acid turning it into an unnatural form of trans fatty acid that has been shown to be harmful to health.

SUMMARY
According to Mary Enig, PhD., unrefined coconut oil is safe to use in cooking. Finding it is not so easy as a result of the American establishment's highly successful attack on all imported palm and coconut oils. Udo Erasmus, Ph.D., another highly regarded international expert on fats and oils, says both are the same. They are named for their physical state at room temperature. Udo says the only safe oil to use to fry or bake with, is water.
He says no fat can stand the temperatures used in food processing without being adversely affected.
MARGARINE  isn't raised as an issue on those pages. So I will say a few words about it. (Oleo) Margarine isn't food. It is a manufactured grease concocted in a machine from various oils and chemicals. Then it is colored and molded to pose as butter. Its stiffness comes from being loaded with trans–fatty acids. One concoction has it combined with corn oil. "I can't believe it isn't butter !!"
Canola and soy fats (oils) are in nearly all margarines. This butter substitute does not exist in nature. It cannot be grown or converted from a natural food as butter and cheese is.
Margarine was invented to win a prize when Napolean III was surrounded and ran a contest for a palatable grease for his otherwise dry bread. Research the word in www.brittanica.com. Most restaurants substitute it for butter without notice to you. Commercially manufactured ingestibles use margarine wherever butter would be used in their recipe. There are licensed dieticians and physicians who, in total ignorance, will sincerely urge you to eat this poison in pursuit of better health. The usual canard is, "It will reduce your cholesterol levels," a non–sequiter which is yet another awesome fraud. Your brain is mostly cholesterol. And "higher" than average levels are the result of, not the cause of underlying problems.
Partially hydrogenated oils — trans–fatty acids, are always poisonous. Mary Enig's original laboratory research is currently the world's standard for understanding the basis for the foregoing statement. Cooks and chefs working recipes that call for shortening or fats input will have to find coconut oil or use saturated animal fat, or olive oil if they are interested in producing something other than poison. I don't eat restaurant food, nor any manufactured edible. Well, maybe one cookie once in awhile.

坐月子新撇步 　網路熱傳春嬌妹的「童顏、巨乳」法

更新日期:2010/07/05 09:07 記者葉卉軒／台北報導

產後坐月子對女人來說，和青春期從小女孩蛻變成小女人的階段一樣的重要，都是攸關女人一輩子健康、性感的人生大事。

生完孩子後是否能夠迅速恢復原本小姐時的曼妙好身材，是每個女性朋友產後最大的願望，但愛漂亮的新世代靚媽咪，可不只想要回復小姐身材而已，現在網路正熱傳的是「童顏、巨乳」坐月子新撇步呢！

洗衣省水的學問，有人認為洗衣服只要水用得多就會乾淨。

其實，最好的辦法是每次用水少一點，多漂洗幾次。

　　比如說，一件濕衣服含有1公斤水，其中洗滌劑有20克。

假如使用4公斤水漂洗一次，隨即把衣服擰乾到剩下0.5公斤水，

毛巾是人們每天都要使用的物品，也正是由於天天使用，使它顯得太過普通、太過平常了，大家對毛巾的選擇、使用和放置也都顯得太過隨意了。其實正是這種隨意，會給我們的健康尤其是皮膚帶來意想不到的後果,因此保養皮膚,應該從毛巾開始.

下面為大家介紹一些如何正確使用和養護毛巾。

手洗

內衣不同一般衣物，質料纖維比較柔薄細緻，所以最理想的洗滌方法是用“溫水”及“中性洗劑”以及輕按“手洗”。仔細閱讀內衣的標籤。標籤上的不同圖案，代表不同的洗滌及保養的處理方法。除此之外，還要注意以下幾點：

如果您喜歡穿白色服裝，最好瞭解一些如何避免白色服裝被污染的小常識。
首先，您需要解服裝使用的什麼面料：全棉、聚酯還是混紡？今天的白色已經不能與您祖母年代的白色同日而語。在祖母年代，只有全棉或者亞麻，床單、浴巾或者茶巾都是白色的。如果髒了或者變黃了，可以把它們漂白。今天，您則需要首先閱讀標籤上的注意事項。　　

今天許多白色服裝的面料看上去更亮更白，如果您使用氯漂白或者通過日光照射，這些面料將受到損傷。

襯衣領子和袖口極易沾汙，並很難洗淨。可在衣領和袖口處均勻地塗上一些牙膏，用毛刷輕輕刷洗，再用清水漂淨，即可除去汙跡。　

　
　　1，用小刷子蘸上洗潔精，刷到衣領及袖口的汙跡上（不要太多，見濕即可），然後把衣服放進洗衣機裡洗，便可除淨污垢。若用手洗也會得到同樣的效果。

現在的人似乎越來越懶，就算洗內衣都會用專門的小洗衣機。

很多人在洗衣時，會習慣性選擇洗衣粉。

其實，機洗貼身衣物，洗衣粉刺激性太強，最好選擇皂粉。

1、牛仔褲最佳的清洗時間為6-12個月

一般朋友穿牛仔褲一周或是有一點汗(贓)就放進洗衣機裡洗，其實這樣對牛仔褲的傷害是很大的，長期樣做下去會使你的牛仔褲的型狀走形哦，穿起來就不會有貼身的舒適和漂亮的腿型了。

正確方法應該是，儘量6-12個月清洗一次，如果夏天出汗很多，你可以將自己的牛仔褲掛通風的地方，噴上一些清水，讓它順風曬乾，這樣牛仔褲上的汗味就不會了；如果牛仔褲粘上了一些乾淨東東，你可以在贓的地方噴上清水，然後輕輕撮掉贓東東，然後再同上一樣掛在通風很好的地方，讓它自己風乾就好了！

人們通常在購買了新衣服之後往往不經過處理就直接穿在身上，

這種做法是不科學的，

因為新衣服上可能殘留有防皺處理時的致癌性化學成分

許多人的體表，尤其是臉部和手背佈滿了點點的褐斑，這是體內自由基作用的結果。

　　人體內的自由基是一種衰老因數，它作用於皮膚，引起“鏽斑”，而生薑正是除“鏽”高手。生薑中含有多種活性成分，其中的薑辣素有很強的減弱自由基作用。
