[center]Where Is Most of the World’s Olive Oil
Produced?[/center]
Olive trees have grown in the countries surrounding the
Mediterranean Sea since the 8th millennium BC. The hardy trees
have robust root systems and can live as long as 2,000 years.
The oil from olives is actually this fruit’s juice, and is
typically used in cooking or as a salad dressing. It is also
incorporated into soaps and pharmaceuticals (to reduce high
blood pressure), and as an additive in cosmetics (particularly
skin cream). Spain is, by far, the world's largest producer of
olive oil, especially in southern parts of the country.
According to statistics from the International Olive Council,
Spain's virgin olive oil output during the 2016-2017 period was
nearly twice that of Italy, Greece, and Tunisia combined.
The awesome olive:
֍ While Spain produces the most olive oil, Greece consume
more of it than any other country. In fact, the average Greek
consumes about 5.3 gallons (20 liters) of olive oil a year.
֍ The entire olive is crushed during processing; they are
typically harvested twice a year. An early harvest begins in
October, and those oils are particularly high in antioxidants
and polyphenols. [img width=25

HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-080515182559.png[/img]<br
/> The main harvest occurs in November and December.
֍ Olives are still hand-picked, although some harvesters
use mechanical means to shake the tree’s branches, causing
olives to fall into nets. Each tree can produce about 66 lbs (30
kg) of fruit, or one gallon (4 liters) of oil.

[center]Cannabis provides strong pain relief[/center]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked
August 05, 2019
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
✔ Clinical findings from researchers in Canada indicate
that the pain-relieving effects of the cannabis plant are 30
times more potent than aspirin for decreasing inflammation
✔ Besides the psychoactive aspects of
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and the pharmacological features of
cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD) derived from C. sativa
varieties, there’s potential for other medicinal uses
✔ To explore the “medicinal versatility” of cannabis,
scientists focused on two specific molecules, cannflavin A and
cannflavin B, to identify the biosynthesis that made them
“medicinally relevant”
✔ Experts say the breakdown between marijuana and hemp is
fairly simple: When a cannabis plant contains 0.3% or less of
THC, it’s hemp; when it contains more than 0.3% of THC, it’s
marijuana
✔ Low doses of CBD administered for seven days were found
to alleviate pain and anxiety, symptoms often associated in
neuropathic or chronic pain, but without the side effects or
potential of addiction from opioids

September 16, 2019
[center]Ashitaba — A Most Powerful yet Unknown Herb[/center]
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked
Native to Japan, ashitaba (Angelica keiskei
koidzumi[sup]1[/sup]) is a bitter leafy herb of the Angelica
genus, closely related to the carrot. It's also known as
"tomorrow's leaf," due to its rapid growth and regenerative
abilities. It's a fast grower and new leaves rapidly sprout when
picked.
The plant is well-known in China and Japan, having been part of
the diet since ancient times. There, it has also been used
medicinally for hundreds of years, as a general health promoter
and antiaging remedy.[sup]2[/sup]
The first reference to ashitaba is found in the Chinese
Compendium of Materia Medica, compiled by Li Shizhen, a famous
acupuncture physician and pharmacologist, between 1552 and
1578.[sup]3[/sup] According to a 2013 investigation,[sup]4[/sup]
ashitaba "might be a useful agent in preventing deficit of
learning and memory caused by AD [Alzheimer's disease] and
aging."

There is overwhelming epidemiological evidence that a high
consumption of fruit and vegetables is associated with reduced
mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other
causes.1–5 In part, this may simply indicate that high fruit and
vegetable consumption is a marker of a healthy lifestyle, but
there is also strong evidence from in vitro studies and clinical
trials that micronutrients and other components of fruit and
vegetables have beneficial biological effects.6–8 Most attention
has focused on antioxidants, B group vitamins, minerals, and
fibre, but several strands of evidence now indicate that
increased intake of salicylates may be another benefit of fruit
and vegetable consumption.
In this issue of the journal, Lawrence and colleagues show that
urinary excretion of salicyluric acid (SU) and salicylic acid
(SA) is significantly increased in vegetarians compared with
non-vegetarians.9 They previously reported that serum SA was
also significantly increased in vegetarians compared with
non-vegetarians.10 Interestingly, urinary excretion of SA was
similar in vegetarians and patients consuming 75 or 150 mg of
aspirin/day, although SU excretion was substantially greater in
the aspirin groups.
“There is strong evidence from in vitro studies and clinical
trials that micronutrients and other components of fruit and
vegetables have beneficial biological effects”
After oral administration, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is
rapidly absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract.11 This
drug follows first order kinetics and has an absorption half
life of five to 16 minutes.12 Aspirin is mainly absorbed
unchanged from the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract, but is
rapidly hydrolysed to salicylate by carboxylesterases in the gut
wall and liver, so that only 68% of the dose reaches the
systemic circulation as acetylsalicylic acid.12,13 Salicylate
and acetylsalicylate are extensively bound to serum albumin
(∼ 50–80%) and are distributed in the synovial cavity,
central nervous system, and saliva. The serum half life of
acetylsalicylate is 20 minutes, and the decrease in
concentration after this time is parallelled by a concurrent
rise in salicylate concentrations,12 the half life of which is
between two and 30 hours, depending on concentration. SA is
metabolised through glucuronide formation, conjugation with
glycine, and oxidation to produce SU, salicyl phenolic
glucuronide, salicyl acyl glucuronide, gentisic acid, and
gentisuric acid.12,13 The kidney eliminates salicylates. The
major urinary metabolites are SU (80%) and salicyl phenolic
glucuronide (10%), but SA is also partially excreted unchanged
(5%).14
Despite the fact that aspirin has been in routine use for almost
a century, there is still no common agreement about its
mechanisms of action. Aspirin acts by preventing the conversion
of arachidonic acid to the cyclic prostenoids via inhibition of
the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX) through acetylation of an
essential serine at its active site.11,15 There are two main COX
isoforms, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is constitutively expressed in
most cells (including platelets) and, among other functions, is
essential for the production of thromboxane A2, which causes
platelet aggregation.14 COX-2 is not routinely expressed in
cells, but is induced rapidly by inflammatory stimuli and growth
factors,11 and is the major isoform responsible for
prostaglandin biosynthesis in inflamed tissue. Aspirin acts on
both forms but is a less potent inhibitor of COX-2.16 Inhibition
of COX-1 is achieved by acetylation of serine 530, which is
located close to the active site (tyrosine 385 of COX-1).
Acetylation of this serine residue hinders the access of
arachidonic acid to the active site. Aspirin inhibits COX-2 by a
similar mechanism, but is less potent because the substrate
channel of COX-2 is larger and more flexible than that of
COX-1.16 Mitchell et al, using a variety of in vitro models,
suggested that aspirin inhibition of COX-1 was between 25 and
166 times greater than inhibition of COX-2.17
In contrast to aspirin, salicylic acid has virtually no effect
on purified COX-1 and COX-2 at pharmacological concentrations,
but inhibits prostaglandin synthesis in intact cells.18 The
mechanism by which salicylic acid inhibits COX-2 is the subject
of much current debate.11–23 One possibility for which there is
experimental evidence is that salicylic acid at therapeutic
concentrations may suppress COX-2 gene transcription by
inhibiting COX-2 mRNA synthesis and COX-2 promotor
activity.16,18 As such, with respect to its role as an
anti-inflammatory agent, aspirin could be acting as a prodrug
for salicylic acid, which has a much longer half life than
aspirin.24
The presence of naturally occurring salicylates in fruits,
vegetables, spices, confectionaries, and beverages (both
alcoholic and non-alcoholic) has been confirmed by several
research groups,25–29 although concentrations determined do not
always agree.

Swain et al suggested that a normal mixed diet contains total
salicylates in the range of 10 to 200 mg/day,26 although other
groups have suggested that this may be an overestimate owing to
a lack of analytical specificity.27,28 Janssen et al suggested
that intake of dietary salicylates in subjects taking a mixed
diet was only in the order of 2 to 4 mg/day, an amount probably
too low to affect disease risk.28 However, the work reported
here9 and previously10 indicates that dietary salicylate intake
may be significant in vegetarians and can produce concentrations
of SA that overlap with those seen in subjects taking 75 mg of
aspirin/day. Because the anti-inflammatory action of aspirin is
probably the result of SA,24 and the concentrations of SA seen
in vegetarians have been shown to inhibit COX-2 in vitro,18 it
is plausible that dietary salicylates may contribute to the
beneficial effects of a vegetarian diet, although it seems
unlikely that most people who consume a mixed diet will achieve
sufficient dietary intake of salicylates to have a therapeutic
effect.

Are you unsure about the state of salicylates and your health? I
have heard a lot of talk about salicylates, where you can find
them, and how they can have an impact on your health. That’s why
I want to dive deep into salicylates, and the research behind
them – to really learn whether they are a friend, or a foe, and
in what forms each might apply.
What Are Salicylates?
Salicylates are compounds that we can find in a huge variety of
plant foods. In fact, they are only found in plant foods!
Salicylates are phenolic compounds that plants make as a form of

The overall data suggests that salicylates seem to be associated
with health benefits. As of late, though, that has also cut the
other way – with folks worried that they may be the cause of
certain symptoms and side effects, as well.
Let me help walk you through learning more about them, if you
want them at all in your system, and how much you might want in
order to maintain good health.

SNIPPETS:
Numerous cultures prescribe a hot broth for treating fever, each
ascribing miraculous powers to their soups. For instance, Jewish
grandmothers would always recommend a rich chicken soup, while
the Japanese would swear by miso soup. In Eastern Europe, beet
soup is often seen as an important winter treatment, and several
different cultures support garlic soup as a cure. There is no
shortage of such claims, but is there any truth to them?

The soups were frozen on arrival, and then thawed, centrifuged,
and filter sterilized. In the lab, researchers also cultured a
strain of Plasmodium falciparum — the most dangerous malarial
pathogen. Filtered soup extracts were tested for their ability
to inhibit parasite replication and for their ability to block
parasite transmission through the mosquito. The results were
intriguing.
