Re: Re: Black Pepper benefits

[Guest guest]

I wrote to the forum how healthy my 80 yr old Dad remains even though he

smokes. My husband reminded me last night how my Dad literally BLACKENS his

food with black pepper. We went to the Casino Buffett recently (a million food

choices) but what did Dad dish up on his plate? Raw tomatoes,onions,

cucumbers, a little baked beans, cottage cheese and a small piece of chicken,

then

he covered all of this in gobs of pepper. I sort of remember my husband

staring at my Dad during that meal! As kids we always saw Daddy using lots of

pepper but I never thought of it as a nutritional thing. Just thought Id

pass this on. Since Ive started adding cayenne pepper to my food, Im adding

more black pepper too. Here is a neat site that speaks of its benefits. I

hope

I live until Im 80 in good health too!

Hi !

Greetings from the Philippines !

In one of our studies few years back ( " nutrient contents of crops planted

under coconut stands " ), we found out that two popular spice foods: black pepper

(ground corms) and hot chili fruits (ground) both contain high amounts of

macro- and micronutrients. The relative trend in macronutrient contents (in %)

follows: K> N>Cl>Ca>P>S>Mg>Na ; while the micronutirents (in mg/kg) follows:

Iron>boron>manganese>copper>zinc.

Black pepper, in particular can supply our body the macro- and micronutrients

in the following concentrations (contents): macronutrients (%) - K, 2.7; N,

2.4; P, 0.22; Ca, 0.60; Mg, 0.15; Choride, 0.90; S; 0.19; and micronutrients

(mg/kg) - iron, 330; boron; 32; manganese, 22.4; copper, 18.5 and zinc, 14. Take

note that 0.1% = 1,000 mg/kg (parts per million or ppm).

I strongly suspect the balance macro and micro-nutrients from the black pepper

and hot chili could be beneficial to our health, likely prolongs a healthy body

( slow down the human aging). Certainly, levels of nutrients from the spices

cannot be ignored as contributory to body health, thus these serve as food

seasoning or flavoring (improving our appetite for food).

I wonder if participants in this forum share my thinking ?

I have always read that Black Pepper is hard on the Liver, very much so.

I can't dispute any previous posts?? but I can tell

you I just lost my husband to end stage liver disease

from Hep C that he did not know he had till the last

year, one of the foods he was told NOT to have was

pepper, black.

I do remember? that most peppers are a no-no per

Edgar Cayce's findings, all the nightshades.

I had a friend that ate peppers every day almost,

habaneros she grew herself. She had a very healthy

diet otherwise? and her hands were very crooked with

arthritis, though I do know there are many causes.
