Di balik kelezatan Ice cream ada sebuah dampak buruk yang mungkin belum banyak orang tahu, yakni mengurangi kesuburan. Ah, masa sih? Meski agak sulit dipercaya, namun sebuah penelitian yang dibuat oleh peneliti dari Nurses Health Study Harvard School of Public Health, AS, ini menyebutkan bahwa terlalu banyak Ice cream dan produk makanan lain yang mengandung susu bisa meningkatkan risiko infertil.
Menurut para peneliti tersebut, perempuan yang mengonsumsi dua atau lebih makanan yang mengandung susu setiap hari, cenderung sulit hamil karena tidak adanya proses ovulasi. Sementara itu, mereka yang mengonsumsi makanan berlemak dan mengandung susu sekali tiap hari, hanya 27 persen yang mengalami masalah ini. Hasil penelitian ini dilaporkan dalam jurnal European Human Reproduction minggu ini.
Namun para peneliti juga mengingatkan agar hasil riset ini jangan dipercaya seratus persen karena riset ini hanya didasarkan pada wawancara dengan responden perempuan, bukan riset ilmiah yang secara khusus meneliti Ice cream. “Inti dari publikasi hasil riset ini adalah agar perempuan tidak berlebihan mengkonsumsi Ice cream setiap harinya,” kata ketua peneliti, Dr Jorge Chavarro dari Harvard.
Hasil penelitian ini juga dipertanyakan oleh kalangan para peneliti sendiri. Menurut mereka, para periset itu tidak berhasil menemukan kaitan antara infertiliti dan produk olahan susu secara umum. “Berat badan yang terlalu ekstrem, baik itu terlalu kurus atau terlalu gemuk, yang akan meningkatkan risiko sulit hamil,” kata Dr.William Gibbons, presiden Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology. Menurutnya, makan berlebihan memang tak baik, tapi diet terlalu ketat juga sama buruknya untuk proses reproduksi. (indonesiaindonesia - doktersehat.com)

All Things About Dim Sum
Dim Sum, a wonderfully tasty Chinese tradition goes as far back as the ancient Silk Road. In those days, dim sum was associated with another tradition called yum cha, or a tea tasting. Yum cha came about when weary travelers atop camels needed a place to rest and replenish themselves. Because of this, many teahouses were soon established all along various roadsides. Yum cha originally did not come with food, because it was believed that tea combined with food would cause disproportionate weight gain. However, when tea was later discovered to actually help with digestion problems, teahouses began to add many different types of snacks for people who stopped by. Although dim sum originally started off as snack food, it quickly popularized and became a unique, and most often times loud experience.
The actual emergence of dim sum as a culinary feat originated in southern China with the Cantonese. In China, dim sum can be served as early as six in the morning, and many people wake up this early to be first in line to try the tasty treats that they offer. Dim sum restaurants usually close by mid afternoon and do not reopen for dinner, as was the tradition many, many years ago. The style of dim sum restaurants is very unique because instead of one waiter taking our order, many waiters push carts with various dim sum items around the restaurant, and you pick and choose from these carts.
Salty and savory snacks like shu mai, dumplings of every flavor imaginable, and cha siu bao are offered. Shu mai (literally "cook and sell dumplings") can be vegetarian or made with meat, and they are wrapped with gyoza wrappers and steamed. Dumplings come in pork, shrimp, crab, and vegetable flavors, and are either made with a thick, rice flour dumpling wrapper or a translucent wheat starch wrapper.
These translucent dumpling wrappers are very difficult to cook precisely, but their flavor along with the dumpling filling is quite satisfying. Cha siu bao are buns with cha siu pork, a sweet and salty barbecued pork cooked into them. For dessert, you can indulge in egg custard tarts, a creamy and delicious treat, mango pudding, sesame seed balls, or red bean paste buns. An exceptionally delicious Chinese dessert is the dou fu hua, which is a soft tofu served in a sweetened ginger flavored soup. For the more adventurous, a dish called "Phoenix Talons" is also served at dim sum restaurants. These are in actuality chicken feet. They are deep-fried, boiled, and sometimes marinated with black bean sauce. They are very tender, and many people enjoy them once they get over the initial shock factor of the chicken feet.
This Asian delicacy has spread across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and is now available in various countries throughout the world. It is an especially popular type of food in America, where Americans can get a taste of the delicacies and oddities of the Chinese cuisine. Just remember to get to a restaurant early, because they get busy fast! (Charles bloom - article alley)

Sate dari Madura Enak
Sate Madura umumnya adalah Sate ayam yang diberi sambal berupa saus kacang. Namun di Madura sendiri kadangkala yang dipakai bukanlah saus kacang namun saus atau sambal kemiri. Selain itu seringkali arang pembakaran Sate ini sering ditaburi dengan jeruk limau.
Untuk meraup lebih banyak keuntungan, pedagang Sate sering mencampur bumbu kacang dengan nasi kering yang telah dihaluskan. Nasi kering ini, dalam bahasa Bali disebut senggauk, merupakan nasi sisa yang dijemur di bawah terik matahari. Di beberapa daerah di Jawa, seperti pesisir utara, sepanjang pantura (pantai utara) meliputi daerah Indramayu, Brebes, nasi semacam itu disebutnya nasi aking. Umumnya dimakan orang-orang miskin yang tidak mampu membeli beras yang termurah sekalipun.
Sate Madura biasanya terbuat dari ayam. Madura selain terkenal sebagai pulau garam, juga terkenal dengan Sate-nya. Sate madura sudah terkenal di seluruh Nusantara, Sate Madura dapat ditemukan hampir di semua daerah khususnya di kota besar seperti Medan, Jakarta, Bandung, dan Surabaya. Konon di Madura sendiri Sate susah dicari. Tetapi selain ayam sebagai bahan utama Sate juga ada yang menggunakan kambing yang ditandai dengan digantungnya bagian kaki belakang si kambing di rombong sang penjual Sate. Bumbunya adalah campuran kacang yang ditumbuk halus petis dan sedikit bawang merah. Memanggangnya dengan api dari batok kelapa yang dihanguskan lebih dulu yang disebut dengan arang batok kelapa. Rasanya gurih tapi dipantangkan kepada mereka yang berkolesterol tinggi dan yang pengidap asam urat akut.

Ice cream Penyebab Gigi Berlubang dan Diabetes?
Akibat komposisinya yang sarat akan energi, protein, dan lemak, terutama lemak jenuh, Ice cream kerap dituding sebagai biang keladi penyebab gigi berlubang atau diabetes.
Penyebab Gigi Berlubang
Penyebab utama terjadinya gigi berlubang adalah difermentasinya sisa-sisa karbohidrat, terutama gula sederhana, yang tertinggal dan menempel pada gigi. Fermentasi yang dilakukan oleh bakteri-bakteri dalam mulut adalah mengubah gula menjadi asam-asam organik yang dapat melubangi gigi dalam jangka waktu lama.
Fermentasi dapat terjadi pada segala jenis karbohidrat. Dengan demikian, makanan apa pun yang mengandung karbohidrat berpotensi untuk menyebabkan gigi berlubang.
Hal yang dapat dilakukan untuk mencegah gigi berlubang adalah dengan menjaga kebersihan mulut dan rajin menggosok gigi, minimal dua kali sehari, setelah sarapan pagi dan sebelum tidur. Gosok gigi atau berkumur air putih sangat dianjurkan untuk dilakukan setelah mengonsumsi makanan berkarbohidrat atau yang manis, termasuk Ice cream.
Penyebab Diabetes
Diabetes melitus adalah suatu kondisi pankreas tidak depat menghasilkan insulin yang cukup bagi tubuh atau berhenti menghasilkan insulin sama sekali. Kekurangan insulin menyebabkan glukosa di dalam darah tidak dapat dikonversi menjadi glikogen atau diserap sel-sel tubuh yang membutuhkan energi.
Dalam ilmu kesehatan, skala yang digunakan untuk mengukur signifikasi efek yang ditimbulkan makanan terhadap penderita diabetes disebut sebagai indeks glisemik. Indeks glisemik (IG) adalah peringkat individual makanan berdasarkan efeksnya terhadap kadar glukosa darah, yang berhubungan dengan waktu pencernaan dan penyerapannya.
IG dari makanan tergantung dari komposisinya, seperi lemak, protein, karbohidrat, dan serat pangan. Makanan berkabohidrat tinggi umumnya memiliki IG tinggi, yang berarti cepat meningkatkan kadar glukosa darah. Penderita diabetes selalu disarankan tidak mengonsumsi makanan yang memiliki IG tinggi agar kadar glukosa darahnya tetap terkendali.
IG memiliki nilai berkisar antara 0 hingga 100 dan diklasifikasikan menjadi tiga tingkatan yaitu tinggi (lebih dari 70), sedang (antara 56-69) dan rendah (kurang dari 55). Makanan yang termauk ber IG tinggi adalah: roti tawar, sari buah segar, sereal sarapan, kentang, kurma, dan pisang. Makanan yang tergolong ber-IG sedang adalah madu, selai, dan kentang yang baru dipanen. Makanan ber-IG rendah adalah buah-buahan, seperti apel, aprikot, ceri, ganggur, jeruk, pear, dan peach, jagung manis, ubi jalar dan kacang-kacangan.
Ice cream merupakan makanan yang mengandung 14-16 persen glukosa. Jumlah yang cukup besar dibandingkan makanan lainnya. Namun, interaksi komponen-komponen di dalamnya menghasilkan Ice cream sebagai makanan yang ber-IG antara 55-57. Berarti Ice cream termasuk makanan ber IG rendah hingga sedang, sehingga aman dikonsumsi penderita diabetes asalkan dalam jumlah wajar. Ice cream tidak memiliki aktivitas peningkatan glukosa darah yang cepat seperti roti, nasi, atau umbi-umbian. (EurekaIndonesia)

Dim Sum = to touch your heart
Dim Sum, one of the most popular Chinese foods, comprises of an innumerable assortment of steamed dishes, dumplings, and other goodies, which are analogous to hors d'oeuvres, the hot and cold delicacies served at all French restaurants.
Literally meaning "to touch your heart", Dim Sum foods are best known for their rich quality and competitive pricing, and are usually enjoyed by people as their favorite brunch. The Chinese tradition of Dim Sum was introduced to the Western Countries in the 19th century by the Chinese immigrants from the Canton region. In fact, it is the Chinese Dim Sum that is thought to have inspired the whole idea of 'brunch', a large mid-morning meal often linked with drinking tea.
The foods that are usually served as a part of a typical dim sum lunch are either deep-fried or steamed. The deep-fried delicacies include Wu Gok, a kind of a taro turnover, and mini spring rolls of different varieties. At times, a dim sum lunch might also include special lip-smacking goodies, such as the shrimp dumplings wrapped in seaweed and topped with a dollop of salmon caviar!
The steamed delicacies served as a part of the Chinese dim sum include a large variety of foods, ranging from steamed pork spareribs and Char Siu Bao, steamed buns with roast pork, to Har Gau, the very delicious shrimp dumplings with a translucent skin. Besides these steamed or deep-fried delicacies, a dim sum lunch also includes a dessert and green tea. For dessert, egg custard tarts are usually served, but if you are lucky, you may have a choice between a mango and an almond pudding.
The Chinese Dim Sum dishes usually vary from one restaurant to another. Other Chinese dishes that are often included in a dim sum lunch at some Chinese restaurants include the flower scallion rolls, also called 'Hua Juan', vegetarian and non-vegetarian pot-stickers, sesame seed balls, shrimp toast, Shu Mai, spareribs, Cantonese spring rolls, Taro Croquette, and steamed Chicken's feet. Thus, if you really want to experience the flavor of traditional Chinese cuisine, visit the nearest Chinese restaurant and try the delicious Dim Sum lunch. (chinatownconnection)

Maki and Sushi
Maki refers to any type of Sushi which is made in a roll with Sushi rice, toasted seaweed nori, and various fillings. The word maki means “roll,” and most people who have eaten Sushi have consumed maki in some form or another. Some forms of maki, such as uramaki, are complex, requiring the attention of a skilled chef. Others such as temaki are very easy to make, and frequently eaten at home and at social gatherings.
Maki Sushi comes in several varieties, depending on how thick the roll is and how the roll is constructed. The most common form is hosomaki, or thin rolls. Thin rolls are made by making a small strip of Sushi rice and one or two ingredients along one edge of a sheet of nori and then rolling it up tightly to form a slender roll. Hosomaki is cut into small pieces before serving, and is usually served on a platter with several other types of Sushi for contrast. Common hosomaki types include cucumber rolls, carrot rolls, and tuna rolls.
Thicker maki is called futomaki, which means “fat roll.” Futomaki is usually made with multiple ingredients, and can be as much as one and one half inches (four centimeters) in diameter. Futomaki is often made vegetarian, and commonly includes ingredients like sprouts, fried eggs, and daikon radish. Usually futomaki is cut before it is served, although it is also served in the form of whole rolls at some traditional festivals.
Uramaki is an inside out roll, meaning that the Sushi rice is on the outside. Uramaki is made by layering a piece of nori with Sushi rice and then flipping it over to line the bottom edge of the other side with ingredients. Then the maki is rolled up, and usually dipped in garnishes like fish roe or sesame seeds. Uramaki is actually more common outside of Japan, and includes famous Sushi such as California and Philadelphia rolls. (wise geek)
