Krill Oil 48x Better Than Fish Oil?:
"Krill oil, logically enough, comes from krill, which are small, shrimp like crustaceans that inhabit the cold ocean areas of the world, primarily the Antarctic and North Pacific Oceans.
Despite their small size–one to five centimeters in length–krill make up the largest animal biomass on the planet. According to Neptune Technologies, the Canadian company that holds the patent for krill oil extraction, there are approximately 500 million tons of krill roaming around in these northern seas, 110,000 tons of which are harvested annually.
Krill oil, like fish oil, contains both of the omega-3 fats, eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), but hooked together in a different form…"

Even More On Turmeric
Turmeric knocks out pain:
"You have the choice of taking Motrin with it's known side effects, and so-so pain relief or taking Turmeric, which has no toxicity, several other hidden benefits, and knocks out pain. Which will it be?
When my arthritis flares up my shoulders, back, hips and knees ache. But for the most part, since I have discovered turmeric, I am pain free."

More On Turmeric
Curcumin might help prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease and cancer:
"Today, scientists are finding tantalizing clues that suggest curcumin might help prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Investigators at the University of California at Los Angeles, studying a mouse model of Alzheimer's, reported that the brains of animals fed curcumin had up to 80 percent fewer of the protein plaques associated with the disease than those of mice given a normal diet."

Turmeric
"The popular Asian cooking spice, turmeric, may help prevent diabetes and help beneficially influence body composition"
Previous research has suggested that turmeric and its anti-oxidative ingredient, curcumin, can help reduce inflammation, help heal wounds and relieve pain.
For the most recent study, researchers from the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia University Medical Center evaluated the use of turmeric on rodent models and found that those treated with the popular curry spice were “less susceptible to developing type 2 diabetes” based on the findings of a blood glucose level test and an assessment of glucose and insulin tolerance."
In addition, the researchers report that obese mice given turmeric exhibited “a small but significant decline in body weight and fat content” and showed “significantly reduced inflammation in fat tissue and liver” when compared to obese mice not given the spice.

Phytate Hydrolysis by Phytase in Cereals; Effects on In Vitro Estimation of Iron Availability
Soaking: "Phytate (inositol hexaphosphate) hydrolysis by endogenous and exogenous phytases was studied for their effect on increasing iron availability in cereals. Wheat bran and whole meal flours of rye and oats were soaked at optimal conditions for phytase activity (55°C, pH 5) for different time intervals. Phytate and its degradation products were determined by HPLC and related to iron solubility under simulated physiological conditions. Small amounts of phytate (< lμmol/g) had a strong negative effect on iron solubility. When inositol hexa- and pentaphosphates of wheat bran and rye flour were completely hydrolyzed by activating endogenous phytase, iron solubility under simulated physiological conditions increased from 3 to 53% (wheat) and 5 to 21% (rye). Addition of wheat phytase to uncooked oatmeal increased iron solubility from 4 to 11 and in precooked to 18%, while endogenous phytase of uncooked oatmeal had less effect on phytate digestion and iron solubility.Phytate (inositol hexaphosphate) hydrolysis by endogenous and exogenous phytases was studied for their effect on increasing iron availability in cereals.

Garlic
Garlic: to promote health and testosterone production:
"Garlic, a cousin to the onion, is rich in allicin, diallyl disulphide, diallyl trisulfide and other sulfur-containing compounds that provide the numerous health benefits that garlic imparts, such as fighting cancer, heart disease and even the common cold. Less known is garlic’s ability to stimulate testosterone production and inhibit cortisol production. Before workouts, garlic can help to boost testosterone when you need it most and blunt the cortisol response that normally accompanies exercise and limits testosterone’s anabolic effects."

Spice Fights Syndrome X
Your fancy latte with cinnamon just may deliver more than a taste sensation:
"The International Society of Sports Nutrition’s professional journal, JISSN, recently published a landmark study on the effects of a specific cinnamon extract (Cinnulin-PF) in pre-diabetic subjects.
Prediabetes is strongly linked to cardiovascular disease and a metabolic condition known as Syndrome X. Researchers from The Ohio Research Group reported that supplementing with 500 mg per day of Cinnulin-PF significantly reduced fasting blood sugar and systolic blood pressure, while simultaneously improving body composition. Impressively, these beneficial effects occurred without changes in diet or exercise.
Cinnamon is the real deal when it comes to overall health and wellness. Look for the specific extract used in the study."
