Why Tigernuts are good for you



High in iron, potassium, magnesium and Vitamins C and E, Tigernuts taste sweet, with a hint of coconut, and have a chewy texture.

Spokesman for Navi Organics, Jemma Brett said: ‘We’ve been selling tigernuts for about a year now, and are definitely noticing more interest recently, and our sales are increasing. We consider them a superfood, especially with their nutrient profile almost mirroring that of human breast milk, and the fact that they are gluten-free and nut-free makes them a wonderful alternative and healthy choice.’

Tigernuts help in weight management: Tigernuts act as a mild appetite suppressant because they contain resistant starch, a type of starch which resists digestion, thereby keeping us feeling fuller for longer, and also reduces the amount of calories we absorb from the food.

‘Resistant starch is also a prebiotic, which helps our bodies to naturally develop probiotic or friendly bacteria ensuring a strong immune system,’ according to Ludovica Vigliardi Paravia, spokesman for Organic Gemini, which will launch tigernuts in the UK this September after their success in the U.S.


In Spain, where tigernuts are known as ‘chufa’ and are grown in the Valencia region, they are used to make the popular drink, Horchata.

Fishermen also use them as bait, particularly for carp. In the eastern Region of Nigeria it is called 'aki awusa'. It is popular in the Northern part of Nigeria.

8 yr old Baltimore boy becomes the first ever recipient of a double hand transplant....thanks to an anonymous donor



Philadelphia doctors (40-member transplant team led by Dr. L. Scott Levin) have transplanted donor hands and forearms onto an 8-year-old boy from Baltimore whose own hands were amputated when he was a toddler. The 10-hour operation was performed earlier this month at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. This is the first ever double hand transplant on a child.

 

 


"The success of Penn's first bilateral hand transplant on an adult, performed in 2011, gave us a foundation to adapt the intricate techniques and coordinated plans required to perform this type of complex procedure on a child," Levin, chairman of the department of orthopaedic surgery at Penn Medicine and director of the hand transplantation program at Children's Hospital, said in a statement. Levin remembers the moment he saw one of Zion's new hands pink up with the blood rushing into it.
"That hand was now alive," he said. "That became, instantly, part of Zion's circulation, no different than my hand or your hand."

Zion lost his hands and his feet when he was 2 to a life-threatening bacterial infection that also led to a kidney transplant.

Jane Birkin asks Hermes to Remove Her Name From Their Iconic Bag


British actress Jane Birkin – is requesting that the designer brand remove her name from their bags.
In a statement via Yahoo! News, Birkin said: “Having been alerted to the cruel practices reserved for crocodiles during their slaughter to make Hermes handbags carrying my name, I have asked Hermes to debaptize the Birkin Croco until better practices in line with international norms can be put in place.”
PETA had recently highlighted the practice: “At just one year old, alligators are shot with a captive-bolt gun or crudely cut into while they’re still conscious and able to feel pain… The investigator saw alligators continuing to move their legs and tails in the bleed rack and in bloody ice bins several minutes after their attempted slaughter.”
A Hermes Birkin bag costs about $60,000, although according to Us Weekly a pink croc skin bag went for $223,000 at an auction.
How Birkin got a bag named after her: “Birkin, the former lover of famous French singer Serge Gainsbourg, inspired the handbag after sitting next to Hermes’ late chairman Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight in 1981 from Paris to London. Dumas witnessed contents from Birkin’s purse falling from the plane’s overhead compartment, and she proceeded to complain about the structure of her handbag. Three years later, Hermes created a custom-designed bag for Birkin – and it has remained one of the most coveted luxury accessories since its conception.”
Hermes released the following statement to Us Weekly: “Jane Birkin has expressed her concerns regarding practices for slaughtering crocodiles. Her comments do not in any way influence the friendship and confidence that we have shared for many years. Hermès respects and shares her emotions and was also shocked by the images recently broadcast…. An investigation is underway at the Texas farm which was implicated in the video. Any breach of rules will be rectified and sanctioned. Hermès specifies that this farm does not belong to them and that the crocodile skins supplied are not used for the fabrication of Birkin bags.”
