7 reasons Garlic Cause bad breath Eating a food runs out may arise a question. As the reason behind the emergence of bad breath due to ingestion of garlic. Author Andy Brunning, explains a common reaction that often occurs after the ingestion of a food. He uses the approach of science related reasons bad breath due to eating onions or a banana make other fruit ripen faster. This school teacher summarize it in his latest book "Why Does Asparagus Make Your Pee Smell?". Here're the answers behind the food related questions, as reported by the New York Post (29/06). 1. Why does garlic cause bad breath? When you eat garlic, out an enzyme called allyl methyl sulfide. The presence of these enzymes contributes to the scent of garlic and the effect …show more content…
the smell of garlic in the mouth which can last up to 24 hours. Brunning recommends lemon juice to ward off the smell. Because lemon juice can neutralize the odor-causing enzyme. 2. Why does asparagus make urine smell? "If you've been eating asparagus, you may realize this food causes the smell a bit unpleasant in the urine," says Brunning, based in Cambridge, United Kingdom. When consumed, asparagusic acid decomposes so asparagus. This has proven to be able to change a person's urine scent. 3. Why is drinking orange juice bitter after brushing my teeth? Maybe you never drink orange juice after brush your teeth and felt the presence of a trace of bitterness. In toothpaste to liquid bath SOAP, there is sodium lauryl sulfate. These compounds suppress the receptors in the mouth that help feel sweet. Make sour fruit such as oranges so it feels more bitter. To prevent these reactions, wait 30 minutes before sipping orange juice when new brush your teeth. 4. do bananas help other fruit ripen faster? According to the book Brunning, bananas can indeed help other fruit ripen faster. This is due to the hormone ethylene triggers and accelerates ripening enzymes in fruits that are nearby. So if you want to speed up the ripening other fruit, for example, the avocado is still hard, put it in a plastic pouch together with bananas. 5. Does the consumption of turkey cause drowsiness ? Turkeys one Thanksgiving Feast when the main food in the West.
There are people who have food coma after taking it at the party. This turned out to be a result of tryptophan, an amino acid in Turkey, cheddar cheese and salmon that produces melatonin. This brain hormones cause the onset of a sense of tired. 6. Why people do not like Brussels sprouts ? Brussels sprout is a vegetable similar to cabbage that is widely found in Western countries. But not everyone likes the taste. "Just like black licorice, this food gives rise to the sentiment of the ' love it or hate it '," Brunning says. Brussels sprouts contain glucosinolates, a chemical compound found in cruciferous vegetables. Such as cabbage and cauliflower. When cooked, vegetables will release the other compounds, propylthiouracil, which tasted bitter for around 70% of people. "The longer these vegetables are cooked, the taste will be the more bitter," added Brunning. 7. Why nuts trigger waste gas? "A lot of little note that consumption of nuts can cause consequences carbonated," Brunning says. The reason is the presence of raffinose compounds that are difficult to digest. Cause bloating and gas. Brunning advises the beans are soaked before cooking process so that it is easier to
digest.
Berry does not hesitate in using harsh words and metaphors like “the hamburger she is eating came from a steer who spent much of his life standing deep in his own excrement in a feedlot”(Berry 10). This provokes the readers to feeling horrible about industrial eating. He uses our pride while pointing to the lies of the make-up of industrial foods. He plays on human self-preservation when writing about chemicals in plants and animals which is out of the consumer’s control. He tries to spark a curiosity and enthusiasm, describing his own passion of farming, animal husbandry, horticulture, and gardening. The aspect of feelings and emotions is, perhaps, the strongest instrument Berry uses in making his
Throughout this chapter Schlosser takes his reader through the journey of the french fry from spud to stomach. Schlosser uses his talents to educate the world about the ins and outs of the processed food and flavor industry, informing the fast food nation, “Why the fries Taste Good.”
Businesses did whatever they could do to food to produce as much of it as cheaply as possible, adding chemicals to make it taste or look better. Sinclair described how every part of the animal was used, saying that companies used “everything of the pig except the squeal.” This included using the rotten meats, selling them to the public as “Number Three Grade” meats.10 Those who were unfortunate enough to eat the meat were poisoned, including one of the immigrant children in the novel, Kristoforas, who died from a poisoned sausage. Sausage was probably the most dangerous of the meats, because they were the moldy cuts Europe had sold to America, because no one there wanted them, and they were “doused with borax and glycerine” to remove any odor or foul taste. The meats would be in piles on the floor where the dirt laid, the roof leaked, the workers spit, and the rats crawled.12 Workers put poisoned bread by the meat piles to kill off the rats, so in the pile there were the dead rats and their dung.12 All of this including the poisoned bread would become part of the sausages. Not only were the meats bad, but the other foods the immigrant family would buy were doctored with chemicals. Sinclair described the pale-blue milk the immigrant family bought was watered down and was "doctored with formaldehyde,” and that other foods such as tea, coffee, sugar and flour had also been altered. The canned peas they
1980, Pelchat et al. 2011). It was suggested first as a specific smell hypersensitivity by Lison et al. in 1980, meaning that the people that could smell the odor had a heightened sense of smell allowing them to distinguish the asparagus odor from regular urine odors. However, in the experiment conducted by Lison et al. (1980), there was not a big enough difference or variation between those that could smell the odor and those that could not smell it, these results do not have enough evidence to support that a specific smell hypersensitivity exists they simply show that each of the different subjects can smell the odor at varying concentrations of the diluted urine (Lison et al. 1980, McDonald 2011). The results of the experiment conducted in 1980 by Lison et al. could also be considered as inaccurate because they used a single urine sample for the experiment with unknown concentrations of the sulfurous compounds, the sample could have had a small concentration of the sulfurous compounds meaning only the most sensitive of noses could have registered the characteristic
In this article, you are informed about a disease that is occurring more often in our society. It is commonly referred to as “heartburn” but is more appropriately named acid reflux disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Most people suffer from this disease, but think nothing of it. Perhaps they have felt it after a big meal, lying down after eating, during pregnancy, or even when bending over. Most people feel that GERD occurs after eating spicy foods, when in fact the major cause of GERD is fatty foods and the quantity of foods eaten.
Merely the smell of food can trigger saliva (LiveScience (3).) For example, the smell of fried chicken, with rice and gravy, and corn bread makes my mouth salivate. As stated earlier, the digestive system is a complex network that is necessary for the digestion and absorption of nutrients. When something is incorrect with the GI Tract, there is a variety of symptoms to know so, such as; abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, vomiting, etc. Most of the symptoms can be avoided or reduced by watching what we eat. (LiveScience (3).) It is important to eat a variety of foods to maintain a well-balanced diet, drink water, and to exercise a minimum of thirty minutes a
The whole purpose of your digestion system is to break down and absorb the energy and nutrients it needs from the food you eat. The sandwich, strawberries, and orange juice you have just consumed is going through this process right now! The process of digestion begins with ingestion, this is when you take a bite of what you have planned to eat. When you took a bite of your sandwich and strawberry slices you were essentially beginning the process of digestion. Second comes the job of your digestion, which is a much more time-consuming and complex process for your digestive system. It begins once you have began chewing your food. There are two known types of digestion, these include Mechanical digestion, which is when you “physically break down the food into smaller pieces”, for instance chewing a burger and having it result in several chunks, and Chemical Digestion which is when you chemically break down your food, such as eating a slice of br...
I did not realize I had a taste aversion until I read chapter 7 in Exploring Psychology starting on page 257. Taste aversion is explained as becoming violently ill after eating, tasting or drinking a consumable item
An example is the Aspartame found in diet soda. Focusing on diet soda, it is shown that it is linked to even more diseases and causes more side effects than regular soda. Furthermore, “Numerous studies over the past several years have reported links between diet soda and weight gain, diabetes, heart problems, and other health issues. Most recently, headlines sounded alarms about a higher chance of dementia and stroke among diet soda drinkers” (Is Drinking…). The aspartame that is used in the diet soda is the main culprit for diet sodas effects. In fact, “Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious, including seizures and death” (Aspartame…). Aspartame is a man-made chemical that is made up of aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. With, aspartic acid making up 40%, phenylalanine making up 50%, and methanol making up 10%. Taking in consideration the phenylalanine in diet soda,” Excessive levels of phenylalanine in the brain can cause the levels of serotonin in the brain to decrease, leading to emotional disorders such as depression” (Aspartame…). With the methanol, that is found in aspartame, it “…breaks down into formaldehyde in the body. Formaldehyde is a deadly neurotoxin… With a recommended limit of consumption of 7.8 mg/day. A one-liter (approx. 1 quart) aspartame-sweetened beverage contains about 56 mg of methanol. Heavy users of aspartame-containing products consume as much as 250 mg of methanol daily or 32 times the EPA limit” (Aspartame…). The effects of methanol are caused by the formaldehyde. “Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen, causes retinal damage, interferes with DNA replication and causes birth defects” (Aspartame…). Overall it is shown that the aspartame that is found in diet soda is linked to a number of diseases

On the fox news program publish March 06, 2014 mentions how energy drinks effects the organs.
So watching out for oats and cereals that state gluten free. Calcium is nutrients for the growth and development of bones. Patients with Celiac Sprue lack calcium which can lead to osteoporosis. Sucrose is and artificial sweetener and sugar substitute that can be found in sweet peas, dried fruit, and peaches. Sucrose and lactose contain disaccharides, disaccharides cannot be absorbed for the small intestine which can cause diarrhea, gas, and bloating (Thompson, 2008). That’s why we want to watch intake of sucrose and lactose in Celica Sprue
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that affects the prostate and is very common in men. Pumpkin seeds inhibit the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is known to cause enlargement of the prostate gland and lead to cancer.
When I woke up this morning, after I brushed my teeth, looking in the mirror, I thought to myself ; “what am I putting into my body that shouldn’t be there?” The answer to that question is the processed foods that large food corporations sell to us consumers and make us think that we are eating healthy and nutritious foods when we are eating processed foods filled with preservatives to make them last longer. As a consumer, if I buy a food item, I would think that this product is safe for my family and I to consume, but what’s the point of purchasing that product if that guarantee is not there. Why would you want something in your food that would make that food item look the same way after its natural expiration period? These additives are chemicals that corporations agree to add to make foods last longer. But thinking logically, why should food last longer than the natural decomposition period? It shouldn’t, food should last the time that it naturally should last. Not only can these foods be extremely unhealthy to my body, but they can also be leading to future problems that I will have. Due to the way I eat in todays day and age, I tend to ask myself a question more frequently than I should which is What affect can food preservatives do on the human body?
And what’s worse, although 78.3 percent of young individuals had eaten vegetables on a given day, nearly half of them preferred potatoes (Fisher, 2004, p. 16).
