and from seeds such as sunflower and sesame.

In 1808, British explorer Captain James Cook - used sprouts as anti scurvies (anti-scurvy) properties of sprouts. Scurvy is caused by lack of ascorbic acid, and first appears as lowered resistance to infection and a tendency to bleed easily. In severe cases it leads to weakness, weight loss, painful swollen joints, bleeding guns, loosened, and bleeding under the skin. Cook and his crew used specially formulated malt made by cooking sprouted beans at very low heat, to feed the crew over long durations at sea. Cook sailed for three years with out losing a single crew members to scurvy - an outstanding achievement at the time. Cook also discovered, along with vast continents, that citrus fruits such as lime and lemon prevented scurvy. |

Toxin in Sprouts (Racun Toxin dalam Tunas) | |
|
Natural toxins in fresh food has become a hot and controversial subject recently. Every body's
is different and will react differently to different types of food. Sprouts are no different.
There are people who will not agree well to various kinds of beans, including groundnuts.
Sprouts from these beans should be avoided by such people. Stick to the sprouts that you are
a custom to and experiment with small amount those that are new to you. If you grow your own
sprouts make sure that you know what you are sprouting. Read up as many books as you can on
it before starting so that you have a complete idea of the good and the bad.
Sprouts have only recently emerged as a recognized source of food-borne illness. Since 1995, American health officials have attributed 13 food-borne disease outbreaks worldwide to sprouts. Ten of these outbreaks occurred in the United States, resulting in illnesses in at least 956 Americans and at least one death. A common source of toxin is not in the seeds but in the way the seeds are obtained, harvested or stored. It's believed that the seeds from which sprouts are derived are often the source of toxin. Some of the seeds may become contaminated by animals in the field or during post-harvest storage. Also, the use of animal manure in fields of sproutable plants such as alfalfa intended for nonhuman use may be a problem if the seed is used for sprouting. |

Conclusion (Kesimpulan) | |
|
Finally try not to do thing excessively. Take sprouts but on a regular acceptable small
amounts basis. Any thing taken to much and too often is not good for the body. By taking only
small amounts, you can avoid taking too much of things your body is less agreeable to.
It also gives you body the ability to get rid of these things naturally and built up a
natural tolerance and immunity to them.
