Man awarded over $7 million for microwave popcorn-induced lung damage

Wayne Watson developed a somewhat rare respiratory illness known as bronchiolitis obliterans, or "popcorn lung," which involves a severe narrowing of the small airway branches in the lungs as a result of fibrosis (scar tissue) and inflammation. This narrowing creates airway obstruction, which can make it difficult for sufferers of the condition to breathe. Oftentimes, as is the case with Watson, the condition significantly decreases lung capacity, causing perpetual shortness of breath and dry cough.

The culprit, claims Watson, is diacetyl, an artificial flavoring chemical commonly added to microwaveable popcorn in order to give it a buttery flavor without having to actually use real butter.

報載香港幾年前已經超越美國成為全球最（唔係「食力」，而係）「食肉」的地方。而單單去年港人的人均肉食消耗量就達到150公斤，即係每人每日食咗成磅肉，較諸被公認為「食肉獸」嘅美國人都仲要高出38%，亦足足係歐盟諸國嘅一倍，仲有我哋成日話強國富起來食晒啲嘢，實情係佢哋人均耗用只不過係我哋1/3水平。而且當歐美發達國家近年已因追求環保和健康，減少肉類消耗的同時，香港卻適得其反。

香港政府香煙稅加四成煙價達50元

煙稅加四成煙價達50元
(明報)2011年2月24日星期四

【明報專訊】政府3年內再度調升煙稅，這次加幅達四成，每支香煙約加稅5角，一包原售39元的香煙，因為煙稅大增10元，零售價達49元，煙商更打算「超加」至少1元，令一包煙今後售50元以上。政府估計，加煙稅後完稅煙數量會大幅下降近18％，煙稅收益則額外增加兩成至7.3億元。業界擔心加稅後私煙問題更勢惡化。

煙檔疑消息公布前囤貨

Drugstores Online

財政司長曾俊華宣布大幅增加煙稅消息前，不少報攤煙檔昨早都暫收起香煙，待知道加稅後價格才出售。記者昨午在旺角多家便利店、報紙檔，見財爺宣布加煙稅後，店員檔主即自行把煙價隨新增煙稅上調10元。煙民陳先生表示，昨早銅鑼灣便利店售煙貨架仍空空如也，一宣布增加煙草稅後，煙架上就重新放滿香煙，前後相距僅約1小時，他質疑便利店囤貨。陳先生每周抽煙5包，表示煙稅若再增加，會考慮購買私煙。

各大煙草商昨日仍未向煙販建議加稅後的香煙零售價，據部分煙販昨晚獲得的消息指出，原售每包39元的主流大牌子香煙，如萬寶路、健牌、沙龍等，除會增加10元煙稅，更會額外加價1元，售50元，便利店甚至會加至52至53元，最終價格今日會確定。

稱過往加稅控煙成效顯著

目前香港煙民約76萬，政府表示，大幅加煙稅是希望控制青少年吸煙問題，以及鼓勵煙民戒煙。據當局07/08年和基線的調查，以及09/10年的吸煙人口調查顯示，09年加煙稅五成後，15至29歲吸煙人口由8.9％減至8％，吸煙量較大（每日吸煙20支或以上）的煙民，平均每日吸煙量更由33支減至28支，顯示加煙稅的控煙成效顯著。資料同時顯示，2010年本港15歲以上的吸煙人口約有12％，與之前數年變化不大。

曾俊華在去年財政算預案中表明，政府長遠會把煙稅加至佔煙價的75％，今次政府宣布加煙稅後，煙稅約佔煙價七成。政府預計，煙稅大加四成後，2011/12年的煙稅收入只會加約兩成，即完稅煙數量預料減少近18％，為預備煙民戒煙需求增加，政府亦會增撥2100萬元加強戒煙服務。

港大公共衛生學院院長林大慶和護理學院院長陳肇始都歡迎政府加煙稅，認為現時約76萬煙民中，38萬人不立即戒煙隨時會因而死亡。自由黨副主席、批發及零售界方剛說，大加煙稅恐影響報販生計。民建聯陳鑑林和民主黨主席何俊仁亦對政策有保留，批評政策令煙民多怨氣。

Jagpal Singh 中超級六合彩頭獎幸運 Singh 繼續做跟車

中頭獎幸運Singh繼續做跟車
(明報)2011年5月22日星期日

【明報專訊】前晚以40元買中「超級六合彩」，贏得4451萬元的印度裔男子Jagpal Singh，昨日又在幸運投注站現身，再次與記者相遇。「幸運Singh」說，想不到首次買六合彩就一擊即中，暫時還未想到如何運用獎金，初步打算在年底結婚前置業，但無想過會辭去工作，因為怕會悶。徇眾要求下，他又再次拿出價值4451萬元的彩票展示，未有擔心被搶走。馬會表示，會憑彩票發放獎金支票，換言之是「認票不認人」。幸運Singh雖已用電話登記，但在明日領獎之前，還要面對被盜賊光顧的風險。

http://easss.com/jewelry/bluenile

幸運Singh昨日再在買中頭獎的馬寶道投注站現身，同行除3名友人外，還有印尼籍女友Anik。Singh的現身不但吸引記者採訪，更引來途人圍觀，有人上前要求合照，起初他表現含蓄，但圍觀者一句「唔緊要啦！開心口野嘛！」，他遂放開懷抱與人拍照，更大方展示中獎彩票，記者問他怕不怕被搶，他即說「唔驚」，與港人財不可露眼的習慣大相逕庭。

一擊即中不怕被搶

Singh全程笑得見牙不見眼，說今次雖得巨獎，但未想過放棄工作，因無工作的生活「太悶」。他又說已預定於11月與女友結婚，正考慮置業，亦計劃請同事朋友吃大餐，亦會與兄姊分享獎金，希望改善他們的生活。督信印度教的他計劃將部分獎金捐贈慈善機構。

考慮買樓準備結婚

32歲的Singh是土生土長香港人，能操不太流利的廣東話，在筲箕灣一印刷公司任職跟車工人10多年。他說，自己過去從未買過六合彩，從報章及朋友口中得悉是次超級六合彩有億元彩金，前天晚上7時下班，途經馬寶道投注站時便入內湊熱鬧，由投注站職員協助「畫飛」，以40元買了4注，6個中獎號碼是他隨心亂填，中頭獎連自己也不敢相信。

家鄉有一兄一姊的幸運Singh，其實從未返過印度老家。父母過身後留下一個北角唐樓單位，在港沒有親人。Singh知道中頭獎後第一時間通知遠在家鄉的兄姊，令兩人「開心到癲咗」，並請他返鄉團聚。當通知拍拖3年任職女傭的印尼藉女友Anik，Anik直言起初全不相信，以為男友捉弄她，後來肯定男友中頭獎的事實，直言高興得又喊又叫。

馬會規定，以現金投注的六合彩得獎者而獎金超過500萬，中獎人需於指定時間內致電熱線登記，彩金將以支票支付。中獎者登記後，馬會會與中獎人約定時間領取支票，並將「憑彩票發放支票」。

Top Health Giving Foods

Top Health Giving Foods

Healthy foods and superfoods. These foods are indigenous to many of the ancient cultures around the world and are just coming to light in areas outside their native regions. All these foods can be used to increase your healthy, stamina, sense of well being and some are extremely valuable if you are on a diet or diabetic. They are listed in order beginning with the most comprehensive and health giving food.

1. Marine Phytoplankton - Marine Phytoplankton is the foundation of the food chain, responsible for over 70% of the worlds oxygen production. It is a micro nutrient and comprehensive whole food that can nutritionally sustain all living creatures on earth.

One of the largest living creatures, marine whales, live 150 years or more using marine plankton as their main diet. Phytoplankton is a complete source of nutrition which includes proteins, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, trace minerals, pigments, essential fatty acids including omega 3 fats and more. Scientists believe that it is absorbed at the cellular level thus creating it's ability to support and heal the body on a very deep level.

There are over 40,000 species of plankton. I use Gesundheit because their scientists have spent years testing every species and have determined the variety that is the most nutritionally dense and suitable to the human body. They grow this species in environmentally controlled reactors to ensure purity and integrity of the marine plankton.

2. Fulvic Minerals - Is a mineral product that is extracted from rich deposits of humic shale in the earth. It contains over 77 minerals in their IONIC form, making these minerals easily absorbable to the cell where nutrition is most needed. Most supplements are not is a small enough form, nor do they carry the proper electronic charge to penetrate at the cellular level.

Fulvic is an electrolyte that enables cells to absorb nutrients and is a mulit-directinal antioxidant. It provides mental clarity, increased energy and a sense of well being and emotional stability. When looking for a good fulvic supplement be aware of where it is harvested and the process used. Many companies use chemical processes to obtain fulvic from the shale.

3. Chaga - Is a woody fungus known as the " King of Herbs". It grows mainly in cold climates in Siberia on the outside of black birch trees. Chaga is related to the medicinal mushrooms shiitake, maitake, lentinula and others. This mushroom has polysaccharides that enhance the immune system and are used to treat cancer, HIV, and other antibacterial and viral infections. It has triterpenes to lower cholesterol, improve digestion, detoxify the liver, treat hepatitis, coughs and asthma. It also contains betulinic acid that is used to control viral infections and tumors and other phytonutrients, minerals and amino acid to improve strength and health.

4. Goji Berries - Use these like raisins, either soaked or dry. They add a great punch and sweetness to your cereal, smoothies, or just straight out of the bag. Goji or wolfberries are a red berry from northern Tibet, and revered by the people there. The Chinese believe these berries help to add longevity to life as well as add nutrients such as Vitamin C, beta carotene, iron, calcium, 18 amino acids and 21 trace minerals and are powerful anti oxidants to slow the aging process and help with many diseases. If you are taking any blood thinner drugs or have pollen allergies, you should consult with your doctor before beginning a program of goji berries.

5. Chia Seeds - Coming from a desert plant in the mint family, they have a long history of being cultivated by the Aztecs and Mayans. They were a staple food of their warrior diet. The seeds are high in protein, omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, calcium, phosphorus, manganese and lots of other vitamins and minerals. These are great for those on a diet, because they provide bulk to help fill you up as well as helping to clear toxins from the digestive tract.

6. Raw Cacao - Coming from the island of Bali, you can watch this video on the production of truly raw, unprocessed cacao. Raw cacao promotes cardiovascular health, weight loss, is one of the highest known food sources of antioxidants, supplies PEA, an anti- depressant chemical, has a stimulating effect on the brain with its theobromine, and provides lots of much needed magnesium and sulfur.

7. Yacon - The perfect sweetener for those on a diet or diabetic, as this South American root is not absorbed by the body, therefore it has a low calorie impact on it. You can enjoy this sweetener and know you are not adding many calories or weight to your body. Because yacon is made mainly of FOS ( fructooligosaccharides ), a unique sugar (inulin) it is a prebiotic, stimulating the growth of good bacteria in the intestinal tract. Some pre clinical studies have indicated that consumption of FOS may help increase bone density, as well as absorption of vitamins such as B complex.

8. Coconut Palm Sugar - Is made from the nectar of the coconut palm flowers. It is suitable for both dieters and diabetics as it is low at a rating of 35 on the glycemic index. It is a caramel brown color and perfect for all your sweetener needs. Palm sugar is high in potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron and is a natural source of the vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and C. I love this sugar, and use it all my raw food creations.

9. Maca - Sometimes known as " Peruvian Ginseng" the maca root is an amino acid, phyto nutrient, vitamin and mineral rich food. Grown at very high altitudes it carries lots of energy, giving you increased energy/ stamina, normalizing adrenal and immune system function as well as regulating the endocrine system. Maca is an adaptogen herb and has long been used to treat menopause and as a fertility-libido enhancer. This root can be used in smoothies, puddings, ice creams, juices or blended into your tea or coffee.

10. Goldenberries - A delicious sweet and tart alternative to raisins, the Ican goldenberry is also very nutritious. This berry is mainly grown in Peru, but can be found in warm climates throughout the world. It is high in calcium, phosphorus, B vitamins and protein. The goldenberry has been known to help control diabetes, clean the blood and promote digestion.

11. Wild Jungle Peanuts - Are heirloom peanuts from the jungles of the Amazon. These are hand raised and picked, possibly the ancestors of todays commercial peanuts. Wild Jungle Peanuts contain a higher percentage of protein than any other nut. Over 40% of the oils contained in this ancient peanut are oleic acid (the main fatty acid in olive oil). A one ounce serving has 14% protein, 7% iron, 3% calcium and 22% good fatty acids. Aflatoxins, a mold derived toxin, are a common problem with commercial peanuts, however most wild jungle peanuts are aflatoxin free.

12. Brazilian Cupuaca - This fruit tastes like chocolate and is a member of the chocolate family. Nicknamed, "a pharmacy in a fruit", it contains antioxidants, anthocyanins, omega 3 & 6, vitamins and other phyto nutrients. The fruit has been used to lower cholesterol, increase libido and stamina, fight disease and cancer, protect cells with its antioxidant power and boost the immune system. A great drink to help weight loss and increase energy is cupuaco, acai, and coconut water or mixed with other fruits like bananas, mango, peaches and a few ice cubes blended into a smoothie.

13. Lucuma - This fragrant and sweet fruit comes from Peru. It has a rich maple like flavor and is used in ice cream, puddings, shakes and yogurt. It is an excellent source of carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals, especially beta carotene. For a unique and exotic flavor experience try the lucuma fruit.

馬來西亞樹上熟極品 D24榴槤

樹上熟極品榴槤
7/10/2008

最近閱報讀到蔡瀾多番在專欄談及帶團到 馬來西亞果園吃即摘榴槤 ，恨得人牙癢癢。沒法子， 馬來西亞的榴槤（包括 D24 ）都是樹上熟的 ，不能久放，故不作外銷，最多運到毗鄰的新加坡售賣。

相反，泰國的榴槤（包括金枕頭）卻是摘下來才漚熟，所以可以出口到港。

老饕都認為樹上熟榴槤味道特別濃郁、甜美，當中名氣最大的，是 D24 。名字聽起來像榴槤的等級，其實它是一個品種的名稱，在馬來西亞當地尚有 D13 、 D99 、 D101 等品種 ，各以不同的種籽培植而成。

D24 榴槤原產自馬來西亞的霹靂州，又以 5 月至 8 月的最為當造。
這品種的榴槤果形細圓，榴槤味香濃，果肉也厚，吃罷有種澀澀的 aftertaste ，那份甘甜滋味，叫人一試難忘，難怪成為當地人氣 No.1 。

急凍 D24 榴槤果肉 $79.9 （ 500 克） D24 榴槤香氣撲鼻，其果肉質地綿軟，帶點 creamy ，味道甜中帶甘，令人一試難忘。

果肉腍漓爛熟，異香迫人。

上網訂 D24 榴槤果肉
好消息是如今要吃 D24 榴槤不用坐飛機。因香港有一家叫 醉榴香 的食品公司，最近引入了 急凍的 D24 榴槤肉 。她在新加坡設有廠房，榴槤運到後由工人去殼、取出果肉再真空包裝、急凍再運來港， 每盒售 $79.9 （ 550 克 ）。客人可上網訂購，三至四日後可取貨。

把榴槤於室溫內解凍 15 分鐘，甫揭開真空包裝即傳來一朕馥郁的榴槤香氣，五指一抓， 果肉竟如忌廉一樣軟腍 ，輕輕一吮，即化作啖啖濃稠的 榴槤糊 ，味道濃甜，最後尚有一朕苦澀的回甘滋味。

老實說，與在 新加坡吃新鮮即開的 D24 榴槤 相比，它比較濕和腍，香味亦稍遜，但我也不計較，起碼 它比泰國榴槤好吃十倍 。

惠華特色食品(香港)有限公司
門市地址︰九龍荔枝角長順街1號新昌工業大廈4樓408室 (荔枝角港鐵站A出口)

註：如欲購買急凍 D24 果肉，可致電或於網上預訂，如親身前往公司的辦公室，最快可即日取貨（視乎存貨量），另亦可安排送貨服務，車費另計。

還有更多 D24 榴槤甜品
