One of my favorite drinks in India is South Indian filter coffee its made with a little stainless steel filter and a coffee and chicory mix. Coffee is grown in a few places in India in fact last time we visited we visited a plantation in Coorg, its mostly Robusta that is grown that is then mixed with Arabica. Here's a link to a wonderful article about India's coffee industry in the Seattle Times . The filter makes a small amount of concentrated coffee like a shot and its added to hot milk and then poured from container to container like the guy above is doing. Its quite an art :) and it creates a great foam on the coffee. My hubby used to do this to coffee when we were dating I thought he was crazy until I went to India, now when we go I always order it. see the foam even minus an espresso machine :-) the filter me and my cousin having a coffee on the way back from the beach, this little place was by the side of the road and folks were stopping by enjoying coffee it reminded

New Link Found Between Osteoporosis And Celiac Disease

New Link Found Between Osteoporosis And Celiac Disease A study in Edinburgh has found that there is a protein in folks with celiac disease called osteoprotegerin (OPG) in healthy folks this protein controls the rate at which bone is broken down and is protective. But research has shown that in 20% of Celiacs they produce an antibody against this leading to osteoporosis. This is important as it was previously thought that the bone loss was related to malabsorption of calcium and vitamin D.

Fruit is Found to be Even Better for Us..

Scientists in the UK, have found that with a new testing technique fruits such as apples, peaches and nectarines have more antioxidants in them than previously thought. The scientists state that "If non-extractable polyphenols are not considered, the levels of beneficial polyphenols such as proanthocyanidins, ellagic acid and catechin are substantially underestimated." and I went to the dentist Dr Pinyan had a neat little acronym for FLOSS F: floss first L:length of floss 18-22 inch O: start at one end of floss, wrap finger around your finger each time you go between the teeth S: Slide the floss gently between the teeth S: scrub gently in a C shape motion at or just below the gum line She invented it at dental school and even has a little puppet with big teeth to demonstrate with, I thought it was neat so wanted to share with you. We are all guilty of not flossing enough, but it really is so important to protect out teeth. Source : http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/
