Demented World - by Thoraiya Dyer

 
When did we start living in a demented world? When did it become possible to advertise a product that "brings health and life to your hair" when, in fact, hair consists of dead skin cells and lifeless keratin? How can something that HAS no life be healthy or unhealthy? When did it become possible to advertise that Echinacea is good for colds and flu, when The New England Journal of Medicine (Vol 353: 341-348, July 2005) in an article by R.B. Turner et al, it was concluded that the happy little plant has absolutely no effect at all? I'm ready to begin my crusade. Welcome to Demented World

Men need 18 mg of niacin daily while women need 13 mg. Children need a supply of 9-16 mg daily while those taking it as a supplement should take in 50 mg.

Some of the richest natural sources of niacin are lean meats, poultry, fish, peanuts, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, dessicated liver, chicken, tuna, milk, eggs, broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, asparagus, avocado, nuts, whole grain, legumes, mushrooms, and saltbush seeds.

This recipe is really awesome.

Avocado Salad

You'll need:

* 2 avocados
* romaine lettuce leaves
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 clove garlic -- minced
* 1 sprig fresh thyme -- (optional)
* 2/3 cup olive oil
* 1 tablespoon red wine
* 1 tablespoon vinegar

Cut the avocados in half and discard the pit. Scoop out the avocado meat with an ice cream dipper, and shape into little balls. Place them on two plates lined with lettuce leaves. In a small bowl, whisk together the rest of the ingredients, pour over the avocados, and serve.
