Chocolate Chip Cookies Just A Mistake
The inventor - or creator - of the chocolate chip cookie was Ruth Wakefield. In 1924, Ruth Wakefield after graduating from Framingham State Normal School s Department of Household Arts, she lectured on food and worked as a dietitian. After marrying, she and her husband bought a tourist lodge bed and breakfast and called it the Toll House Inn. Sound familiar. Well the chocolate chip cookie actually came about by sheer accident. Ruth Wakefield was responsible for, and cooked the meals of, the guests at Toll House Inn. She had a special recipe called Butter Drop Do cookies. This recipe called for crumbled baker s chocolate - a bitter chocolate if you ve ever taken a bite. One day while baking away, Ruth realized she did not have any baker s chocolate on hand, but she did have a semi-sweet chocolate bar. So she cut that up into bits and pieces and added it to her recipe. Unlike baker s chocolate which melts down completely, the semi-sweet pieces only partially melted. Leaving those lovely bits of chocolate we all love so much. And, of course, her cookies were a big hit with her guests...
How Colon Cleanse Can Prevent Colon Cancer
Did you know that colon cancer is one of the fiercest killer diseases in the USA that claim thousands of lives every year. Unknown to many, it can be prevented by incorporating few lifestyle changes and a regular screening. In fact, it has been estimated that one-third of deaths from colon cancer can be prevented if people over the age of fifty go for a regular screening test along with regular colon cleansing. Let us examine how this type of cancer occurs in the colon or rectum. The colon and rectum, which are the part of our digestive system, constitute a long, muscular tube like organ called the large intestine. The first six feet of large intestine is called colon, while rectum covers the last 8 to 10 inches of the large intestine. Sometimes cancer affects both rectum and colon; in that case it may be called colorectal cancer. The two primary functions of colon include conservation of water in the body and elimination of the waste materials from the system. Then another function of colon is to help the body absorb healthy nutrients from food through the healthy bacteria that...
Cancer Update: Non-hodgkin S Lymphoma Treatment Options
Non-Hodgkin s lymphoma NHL , a cancer affecting the lymphatic system, is the second-fastest-rising cancer in the United States. Incidence rates have nearly doubled over the past 30 years. It is estimated that 360,000 Americans are currently living with NHL, and about 58,000 new cases are expected to occur in the United States this year. NHL is difficult to target and treat, as the disease can be found throughout the body in any blood-filtering tissue such as bone marrow. Patients typically have multiple relapses, meaning the cancer returns multiple times. This makes it very important for patients, their caretakers and their loved ones to talk to a physician about all available treatment options and to get access to the latest therapies. NHL patients are traditionally treated with chemotherapy and or radiation therapy. While these treatments destroy cancer cells, they also destroy surrounding healthy cells. Additionally, chemotherapy and radiation therapy can take up to five months to complete and may require patients to stay in the hospital. An innovative class of drugs is...
