Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 Hello everyone, Quorn is very tasty indeed. I like the unspiced variety and sometimes make my own veggie combos with it. Still, I regard it somewhat suspiciously and don't consume it regularly. The " Generally regarded as safe " label doesn't convince me that it is up to our CR standards for longterm protein substitution, much less longevity. Who knows what this fungus really does to the human body after 20 years? And BTW, it isn't Europe's number one meat substitute, Soy is much more common over here. On Wolfberries, the chinese have used this for thousands of years and usually consume it in a broth either with other herbs or as tea. Given their experience with it, I do the same. Perhaps the antioxidants are released (as with tomatos) with cooking? I also eat them raw as they are delicious. And with all Chinese products, I scald them first to let the petrochemicals steam off, and then wash very thoroughly. (We sent our banned DDT etc. over there where the laws are much more flexible. Now we get it back.) best wishes to you Francesca and all, MM _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 But, since a year or two very dominantly in the supermarkets in the netherlands, it seems to have taken-over the soy products in this markets. There is not much of attention in the media around it. I think it is commercially not a big thing here in Europe, despite the rumers in America. greetings Ruud M. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht-----Van: Mambo Mambo [mailto:mambomambo@...]Verzonden: vrijdag 15 maart 2002 12:57Aan: Onderwerp: [ ] Re:quorn Hello everyone,Quorn is very tasty indeed.
