Protein injection for fat cheese
Under pretense of fatty facts can improve the taste of stale fat cheese. Food technologists at the TU Munich pep Camembert or Edam with protein from the whey, which as a waste product in the production of cheese. The trick: When editing the whey proteins in a "scraped", they clump together and are then large enough to not slip through the net of casein cheese when they are introduced during the production again. The whey proteins generate a "fat-like mouthfeel" and can appear creamy-fat cheese, so TU-technologist Regina Schreiber. Then there is still bulk cheese for sale to consumers anywhere. The final product is also nutritionally valuable. Finally, the method also increases the cheese yield "enormous"as the operation of the pilot plant was in Weihenstephan. Even for weight loss diets recommend whey finished Camembert: The added proteins have far fewer calories than those they replace fat.
Supplements - legal doping?
In almost every shop they are at the beginning and a drop in the eye. Are you already part and parcel of a sports magazine and even appear in many television commercials during bodybuilding competitions. Leaving from a fitness coach to advise in a studio, he mentioned it in every other sentence and recommend them as a supporting agent in weight training. We are talking about the so-called "supplements" like bulk whey protein concentrate , which - according to the all - the magic bullet for perfect muscle body.
The magic of the sports business - are they really?

Supplements about everyone knows, only the general term (supplements) is not any art. Translated the word means "food supplement". However, the truth of the first view, to set under the technical term provides only vitamin and mineral supplements that reflect the athlete after the successful and hard training and a lack of the necessary materials for recovery. Rather, these funds will complement and support athletes - mostly bodybuilders - who wants to increase the use of these funds, the performance during and between workouts.
The range is very wide, funding for more muscle mass than fat degrading to resources required for a better recovery in the muscle and thus ensure a better muscle growth.
In contrast to the well-known steroids (anabolic steroids), this means, however, legal, and free for everyone to buy in retail.
Inexperienced athletes will be tempted to advertising
If you look in a shop, the means are often already at the entrance, beckoning him with large markings for sale. So it seems to the inexperienced athletes, as this would be a safe and promising way to get a beautiful and shapely body.
For this reason, these supplements are also offered safe and sold, but hardly anyone really knows what effect this means and, above all, what dangers they pose to themselves. The error often begins at it, that the dosage that is prescribed and should not be exceeded, not observed or are not even known.
Many strive for a perfectly toned body.

Probably the best known food supplements are creatine, L-glutamine and L-carnitine. And the "BCCA amino" - - However, substances ingested by professional bodybuilders, the so-called "whey protein" are.
Creatine is an endogenous substance. During strength training of the energy source ATP to ADP and a phosphate moiety is cleaved. The creatine present in the body synthesizes these products back to ATP so that the body is once again available energy (simple terms). Since the body but produces much less creatine than he could consume a day, you can increase an additional intake of creatine, the muscle activity during the strength training, so that more power and thus more muscle growth can be achieved.
In addition, due to the increased intake of creatine, more water is stored in the muscle (which is because more sodium and chloride gets into the muscle, leading to water retention
respectively), so that the muscle still appears bulky and stronger, but this is a delusion.
During the weight training the muscle is damaged, that is weakened (catabolic effect). In catabolic situations, the cell poison, ammonia is formed, the muscle is not doing well and above all the muscle building process (anabolic effect) prevents. The body alone takes a long time to eliminate these substances.
L-glutamine degrades cell poison and help obese people
L-glutamine counteracts this effect by the cell toxin rapidly degrades the body and thus a more anabolic begrudge phase, which also leads to a better muscle growth. L-carnitine is an even a term, but he appeared in some diet products. In short, you could say that L-carnitine carries fat from the fat depot to the muscles that need it straight and thus enable better muscle growth. That is why there is glutamine powder for sale to you.
This means bringing only what people who are by nature rather corpulent and show one or the other fat depot can. People who are more lean and wiry, must take the necessary fat in the diet in the form of carbohydrates (L-carnitine would be of anything).
Unknown Supplements: Natural building materials
Now for the little-known but equally important supplements, the whey proteins and amino BCCA. Immediately before and after exercise, the body is very much needed protein to the muscles. "Whey" is English. and means whey protein. This is a waste product that accumulates in cheese production. Due to its natural molecular structure, it can be absorbed very quickly and efficiently from the gastrointestinal tract. A Whey protein is the most effective and highest quality protein that man naturally can eat. This promotes muscle growth in a natural way and white people.
BCCA amino-essential amino acids that can be absorbed by the body very quickly because they do not like the proteins must first be digested and broken down, but can be directly absorbed by the muscle. Also as with the whey protein, this is a possibility of inclusion, natural building structures for the muscle.

Now, think they think they are wonderful, I take it, "because it sounds very tempting and healthy. However, these agents also contain very many side effects and long-term damage, which are not yet proven in part, but because of reports to be feared and suspected.
For example, there is creatine a strong suspicion that it is on the heart, liver and kidney adverse effect and there are also cases of creatine users are known in which kidney problems have occurred, and this only after discontinuation of creatine and medical treatment again the handle had to get.
Only with whey proteins are no side effects fears
A longer-term use of L-carnitine performs just as with creatine to decrease the body's own production. This is very dangerous because the body is dependent on the external administration of the substances then. Those who can not do without the intake of BCAAs to be reckoned with symptoms of gastro-intestinal tract, and with strong wind.
Side effects of L-glutamine are not yet known, but there are some researchers fear that Alzheimer's could be a danger, as was seen in Alzheimer's patients, an increased heavy metal content in the brain, and there are fears that the degradation of glutamine these heavy metals may occur. However, these are still only venture guesses.
The only way in which it has no side effects and suspected the whey proteins, but you should know that these supplements typically provides 20 times the amount of substances the body, as it produces normal, and that, therefore, supplements general under fire is you can stand it.

Spain checks growing opportunities for avocado production
The Valencian Institute of Agricultural Research IVIA examined in an investigation, which the zones are, in the Valencian best for avocado cultivation. Accordingly, the best production sites are in central, southern and north of the province of Valencia, north of Alicante and south of Castellón.
The cultivated area could reach 21,000 ha. As a negative factor for a successful production were taken into account only areas with low temperatures, as were areas with good suitability for the avocado-growing all the frost-free or nearly frost-free areas studied. In the Land of Valencia are now annually produces about 500 t 125 ha of tropical fruits, and indeed in the regions of Marina Baixa, la Safor, la Ribera and El Camp de Morvedre. The results in terms of quality and profitability fall so far is very positive. As a result of the study can be stated that the avocado growing country in Valencia certainly has potential and could develop into an alternative in comparison with other products. Given this situation, the Valencian regional government has organized several seminars, in which can be purchased on this project interested producers the basics of the production and marketing of avocados. In parallel, a project running for growing without chemical pesticides, which belongs to the research and development program "Proyecto Cero" (Project Zero) of the State Government.

Russia softens ban on processing of frozen poultry
Moscow - In Russia, should the conditions for the poultry meat processing from 1 January 2011, not so much worse, as planned initially.
Thus, a consumer protection service now adopted by the Federal provision, the use of frozen poultry meat only prohibits the production of non-heat-treated foods.
A decision of the Authority in 2008 provided for a total ban on the industrial processing of frozen poultry meat from next year. In terms of children's food was so already beginning 2010. The originally planned tightening of standards would have almost a halt to imports of chicken meat from the U.S. means.
Meat processors appelieren to the Government
In the past week, several major Russian meat processor called on the government to pass up. In a letter to the authorities responsible for agriculture and food industry first deputy prime minister Viktor Zubkov, they pointed out that such restrictions either in the European Union still existed in the United States.
Differences between processors and producers
Then said the chief of the Federal Consumer Protection Service and Office of the Chief sanitary doctor of Russia, Gennady Onishchenko, that the call came from a group of meat processors, who had been dependent on imported raw materials and then torpedo the national policy of safe food supply. According to Onischtschenkos stricter standards would have found support from other major companies in the domestic meat industry, but also of the governors or agricultural departments of several provinces.

ecological food for christmas
Eco-wave under the stars
Prelude to the Cologne Christmas: At the Cathedral, the Christmas market opens with a new concept, eating organic and star-shaped paths. Also on Old Market, Haymarket, Neumarkt and Rudolfplatz begin the Christmas markets.
Mulled wine in a blaze of lights. Yes, is' for today's Christmas already? A little bit, because yesterday the great Cologne Christmas markets are open. On the Roncalliplatz nothing is as before.
The "Christmas sausage" contains a hint of caramel, apple pieces and Christmas spices. On the grill it clings to a variant of lamb, the "Wurst of the Week". Also, a variety of sky and AED has been announced, and thus is already in the sausage stand clear on Roncalliplatz has done quite something.

With the change of operator of the Christmas market, is replaced by a new face at the cathedral. The star is the symbol of the market: The individual pavilions of the 138 suppliers to add this plan. In the center is a 23-meter Nordmann fir (beaten in Bensberg), organizer for Roland Temme "the most beautiful tree that stood here for 15 years." The attraction is to the starry firmament, which radiate from the tree on Christmas stalls tense finish. The 3000 balls of light with 40 LEDs can be programmed Enclosed with the different light effects. Each hour will illuminate the 1,000-square-foot space for a few minutes with changing illumination.
The concert promoter who has managed, among other things BAP (the "Balou"), is with partner Monika Flocke came forth triumphant from a competition. He will host a Christmas market in the next five years. He is particularly proud of the new, simple huts and their airy arrangement. They are formed into groups to assemble on both sides, so little unattractive back views are visible. "This opens new perspectives," promises Temme, and in fact, the tour offers more space, but more for the eyes.
Carvings from the Erzgebirge are found in the party as well as weaving the Maya or the works of young jewelry designer. But the really innovative catering concept is: Almost all vendors have products from organic farming and regional direct marketing in the program. The Rievkoche hail from organic potatoes as fries, and even the peanuts and almonds from the "Knusperwerkstatt" have grown in an environmentally correct environment. "We want to offer a high quality market," says Temme, the food with organic labels is as an important component.
Prices remain in the frame. The back fish from sustainable fisheries (MSC-Siegel) costs 4.90 €. For a bowl of organic kale, but customers have to shell out 5.80 euros. With the addition of sausage are already a 9,60 Euro. "Organic is just expensive," says Marcel Letz by Kirby-catering. You have to see if people are willing to pay that, or whether it is "particularly hot and hearty" must be. The suppliers had to document the chain of origin for products from outside Europe to prove fair trade was compulsory.
The mulled wine, the mother of all Christmas drinks market, provides an Ahr Winzer, who also swears to organic production. Costs 2.50 euros, the hot beverage. The "shot" is one euro more. But at least here is less to pay attention to the origin than the effect.

Prices remain in the frame. The back fish from sustainable fisheries (MSC-Siegel) costs 4.90 €. For a bowl of organic kale, but customers have to shell out 5.80 euros. With the addition of sausage are already a 9,60 Euro. "Organic is just expensive," says Marcel Letz by Kirby-catering. You have to see if people are willing to pay that, or whether it is "particularly hot and hearty" must be. The suppliers had to document the chain of origin for products from outside Europe to prove fair trade was compulsory.
The mulled wine, the mother of all Christmas drinks market, provides an Ahr Winzer, who also swears to organic production. Costs 2.50 euros, the hot beverage. The "shot" is one euro more. But at least here is less to pay attention to the origin than the effect.
