Recipe:
Baked pie crust and cooled.
Mix dry together…
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons pure powdered coco
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix together wet:
2 cups milk
2 eggs (scrambled but not cooked)

Pour 1/2 cup of wet into dry and mix to thick paste. When very well mixed, add to rest of wet and mix until very smooth.

Heat the mix slowly (6 of 10 on my stove) while stiring constantly and slowly.

When quite warm, melt into mix 1 stick of salted butter (4oz or 1/4lb). Continue to stir while butter melts and mixture thickens. As the mixture gets pudding thick, pour 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Pour mixture while hot into cooled cooked crust – let cool without cover – then cover with foil or paper (plastic will cause condensation) and store in fridge after it cools to room tempature.

I usually make 2 at a time (just double everything) – twice the goodness.

Serve with whipped cream – and enjoy.

Green Tea May Prevent Type 2 Diabetes

Green tea extract may help prevent type-2 diabetes through improved glucose tolerance

(NewsTarget) A new study by DSM Nutritional Products shows that epigallocatechin gallate, commonly known as EGCG, improves glucose tolerance in diabetic rodents and could be a positive addition to dietary prevention of type 2 diabetes, if the results can be applied to humans.

“To our knowledge, we provide the first evidence that EGCG consumed in the diet exerts potent antidiabetic activity in vivo in a dose-dependent manner,” wrote lead author Swen Wolfram of DSM in the Journal of Nutrition.

The study looked at 37 male mice who were severely diabetic, and divided them into four groups. The rats were fed 2.5, 5 or 10 grams of EGCG per kilogram of diet, or a placebo, for seven weeks.

At the five-week mark, the researchers tested oral glucose tolerance and found that glucose levels reduced by 23, 35 and 48 percent in the 2.5-, 5- and 10-gram categories respectively. At six weeks into the study, the scientists tested insulin tolerance and blood samples were taken at the end of the test to analyze glucose, free fatty acids and triacylglyceride levels. All improved on a dose-dependent basis.

The researchers also studied the effects of 5 grams of EGCG per kilogram of diet over a 10-week period on mildly diabetic rats and found that glucose tolerance, blood glucose levels, and free fatty acid plasma concentrations all improved. Analysis of rat liver cells revealed that EGCG down-regulated the genes involved in gluconeogenesis and the synthesis of fatty acids, triacylglycerol and cholesterol.

“Our data suggest that supplementation with EGCG could potentially improve glucose tolerance in humans with type-2 diabetes mellitus,” concluded the researchers. “This hypothesis should now be investigated in randomized placebo-controlled trials.” Wolfram said that DSM intends to begin such trials soon.

In the United States, more than 20 million people suffer from diabetes — about 7 percent of the population — and about 19 million people in the European Union are so afflicted — about 4 percent of the population. The cost of treating the disease is about 2 billion, according to the American Diabetes Association.

They are expensive, but do these herb mix, ‘detox’ teas actually work or do you have to drink 100 packets before you benefit?

Health Benefits of Green Tea

Since many centuries, tea has been in use across the world. It is very popular among Asian people. There are about four types of tea available – black, oolong, green and white. Green tea is very popular for its medicinal properties. The Chinese people have been enjoying the green tea health benefits for about 4,000 years. Many scientists have also conducted research to establish the health benefits of green tea. A study conducted by National Cancer Institute on health benefits of green tea in 1994 indicated a reduced risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women. The researchers at University of Purdue also found out that the green tea health benefit includes slow down of growth of cancerous cells.

There are many other health benefits of green tea, which includes reduction in bad cholesterol levels in the body, slow-down of abnormal blood clot formation that leads to cardiovascular diseases, fighting respiratory problems, etc. Green tea health benefit includes losing weight. This has been proved through a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland which indicated that a combination of green tea extract and caffeine helps in burning more calories than those who are given just caffeine. Green tea has bacteria-destroying abilities which help in fighting the tooth decay. There are many creams and deodorants in the market that contain green tea.

Green tea is healthy because of the way it is processed. The green tea is obtained by steaming the leaves of Camellia sinensis plant instead of the regular fermentation process. This leads to the retention of anti-oxidants, such as, catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Green tea also contains less caffeine content than the regular tea.

Green tea must always be served hot. It is best to have it without or less sugar as sugar could offset green tea health benefits. To enjoy the health benefits of green tea, ensure that you have it plain and simple and do not mix other ingredients with it. So if you want to stay fit and healthy, go buy Green tea today and enjoy a cup of hot tea with your family and friends.

Starting the day with a steaming cup of coffee may be the normal routine of many of you! Most of you might go through additional cuppas all through the day to sail through the professional stresses. Probably, you are not aware of the ill effects of caffeine on the human body!

A dependence on the caffeine either through coffee or drugs may lead to the caffeine intoxication. The common symptoms of caffeine intoxication are:
Faster heart beats, occasional headache, stomach upset, increased level of cholesterol, heart burn, insomnia and many more. These are the situations when you need to follow a caffeine detox diet.

If you are seriously considering a caffeine detox, your goal should be to get completely rid of the addiction. Here is a step by step guide for relieving your body of caffeine toxins.
– The first thing that you should remember with regard to caffeine detox is: your body should be adequately supplied with essential nutrients during the detox program when body is releasing the toxins.
– The key to get rid of caffeine intoxication is following an alkaline diet. The intake of the foods causing acid like meat or sugar should be gradually reduced. Also avoidance of such foods as refined foods and baked foods will speed up the detox process.
– An ideal caffeine detox diet consists of fresh fruits, vegetable salads, soups, greens, seaweed, corn, whole grains-cooked and sprouted, soy products, and some nuts and seeds.
– You have to complement the diet by drinking at least six to eight glasses of filtered water every day. From time to time sip mineral waters. Consume baking soda or, potassium bicarbonate tablets, to enhance the alkaline effect.
– Vitamin C supplementation is a must for caffeine detox diet. It also eases out the withdrawal symptoms and supports the adrenals. They also provide you an anti-stress protection. So a caffeine detox program must be replete with several grams of vitamin C along with minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
– In order to get rid of the withdrawal symptoms, intake of vitamin B complex with extra pantothenic acid is highly recommended.
– A caffeine detoxification, program should be stretched over a period of one week or two. This will help in avoiding extreme withdrawal symptoms.

As you shift from caffeinated beverages, you can include a number of herbal substitutes to give you a stimulating and refreshing boost. You can consider drinking the tea made of roasted herbal roots like barley, chicory, and dandelion, which will nourish your body in addition of boosting up your spirit. Herbal teas prepared with lemon grass, peppermint, ginger root, red clover, and comfrey are also good energizing alternatives to caffeinated beverages.

Why do I feel like I should smoke a cigarette so I can take a huge dump and release all of the gas and extra weight built up inside of me. I have since been taking benefiber and drinking detox herbal tea but it’s still not as big as it used to be. What should I do to get rid of this excess waste and get my life back to feeling great?

Best answer:

Answer by Yaroslav Y
Sorry, there’s no easy answer for this, it’s a withdrawal symptom. However, it’s only temporary – your body is adjusting to the lack of nicotine. Some exercise and leafy vegetables is the beast solution, give it some time. There’s a psychological aspect to this as well – stop thinking about the correlation between smoking and bowel movements, that is, stop thinking that one helps the other, try to think positively.
