WOW!
Papaya face mask beats any commercial off the shelf face mask any day!
Absolutely amazing, my skin is so smooth and fresh. I definitely recommend it. This will become part of my skin health regime now.
YAY!!

Ooh, now that sounds good Jairama!
Coincidentally I've just bought a papaya to use as a face mask. Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, that breaks down proteins. It literally 'eats' up all the dead skin cells on your face to reveal a fresh new layer.
Haha! I sound like a cosmetics ad!
Will try your method tonight.

I do think that 'superfoods' (I don't like that name by the way), can be a part of a healthy diet. I love cacao, maca, goji etc.
BUT.... the real basis of any healthy diet should always be fresh fruits and vegetables.
And if the purchasing of superfoods takes money away from buying quality fruits and veg, then a rethink is needed.

Hmmm.. 'insecticide free' doesn't necessarily mean chemical free, what about herbicides? What is used for fertiliser etc.?
I would have gone with the 'organically fertilised...' mainly because they were picked yesterday.
And even though I'd love for my produce to be veganic, I have to live with the fact that organically fertilised usually means it's MORE likely that things like chicken and

I LOOOVE ginger!
We make gingeraide with ginger, lime juice, agave nectar and natural carbonated spring water from a source about an hour and half from where we live (we bring it back home with us in bottles and it can be stored for up to a year if bottled properly).
It's our substitute for soft drink and my son LOVES it.
Ginger is a great pick me up and ginger drinks are a good replacer

I have an ice cream maker and sometimes make cashew/young coconut meat ice cream type combinations.
But my favourite simple recipe is to simply blend frozen bananas in the food processor and pour melted coconut oil into it while blending. Really simple, yet creamy and scoopable.
I also add raw cacao powder and sometimes agave nectar, or whatever stone fruit is in season, pretty much any fla

Do you mean makeup or skin products?
For skin products, I agree with Sparkler, the less you put on your face the better your skin gets.
But as a moisturiser I use rose hip oil, 3-4 drops massaged into a damp face (with a bit extra gently patted under the eyes. I leave any excess on the face for a whioe then rinse off and pat dry with a towel. There are organic rosehip oils that are processe

160. Re: Agave.......
Wow, that was a long boring post, sorry all!
Just wanted to add that I'd be assuming the author avoided honey as well, as many of the arguments also apply to this sweetener.
It's just that bees do the dehydrating of the nectar instead of humans, they constantly disgorge it as a big globule on their tongues and let the sun and wind do the trick, yum... bee spit!

161. Re: Agave.......
Thank you for the link Bryan, much appreciated.
I am though in agreeance with Frances on this one, if I might note my musings by the numberings the author has given.
1. Low temp processing would mean that the agave was better nutritionally than maple syrup as it wouldn't be 'boiled' down. At low temp processing it would retain many of the nutrients originally found in the uncondensed sap, p

162. Re: Agave.......
Rob,
do you know what temperature it's produced at?
Also, have you been to the facility and checked out the process?
Just asking as I'd love to know once and for all whether a truly raw agave nectar is in existence.
Some people say that in order to make the syrup sweet it needs to be heated, which just doesn't gel with my knowledge of biochemistry. I'd love someone to go and document

163. Re: Agave.......
I've heard that agave can be made thicker via vacuum dehydration at low temperatures.
I think that one of the reasons people think the darker agave is not raw is that it has a brownish tinge. But I know for a fact my banana syrup I make at home also has this brownish tinge and it's not even heat treated at all, no dehydrator, nothing.
