Yoghurt or yogurt, less commonly yoghourt or yogourt (see spelling below), is a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. Fermentation of the milk sugar ( lactose) produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yoghurt its texture and its characteristic tang. Soy yogurt, a dairy-yogurt alternative, is made from soy milk. There is evidence of cultured milk products being produced as food for at least 4,500 years. The earliest yoghurts were probably spontaneously fermented by wild bacteria living on the goat skin bags carried by the Bulgars (or Hunno-Bulgars), a nomadic people who began migrating into Europe in the second century AD and eventually settled in the Balkans at the end of the seventh century. Today, many different countries claim yoghurt as their own,[citation needed] yet there is no clear evidence as to where it was first discovered. The use of yoghurt by mediaeval Turks is recorded in the books Diwan Lughat al-Turk by Mahmud Kashgari and Kutadgu Bilig by Yusuf Has Hajib written in the eleventh century. In both texts the word "yoghurt" is mentioned in different sections and its use by nomadic Turks is described. The first account of a European encounter with yoghurt occurs in French clinical history Francis I suffered from a severe diarrhea which no French doctor could cure. His ally Suleiman the Magnificent sent a doctor, who allegedly cured the patient with yoghurt. Until the 1900s, yoghurt was a staple in diets of the South Asian, Central Asian, Western Asian, South Eastern European and Central European regions. The Russian biologist Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov had an unproven hypothesis that regular consumption of yoghurt was responsible for the unusually long lifespans of Bulgarian peasants. Believing Lactobacillus to be essential for good health, Mechnikov worked to popularise yoghurt as a foodstuff throughout Europe. It fell to a Sephardic Jewish entrepreneur named Isaac Carasso to industrialise the production of yoghurt. In 1919, Carasso, who was from Salonika, started a small yoghurt business in Barcelona and named the business Danone ("little Daniel") after his son. Carasso emigrated to the United States during World War II and set up a business in New York City under an Americanised version of the name Dannon. Yoghurt with added fruit jam was invented to protect yoghurt from decay. It was patented in 1933 by the Radlická Mlékárna dairy in Prague, and introduced to the United States in 1947, by Dannon.

3. Eight Foods you Should Eat Every Day
August 20, 2008
Spinach
It may be green and leafy, but spinach is also the ultimate man food. This noted bicep builder is a rich source of plant based omega-3s and folate, which help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. Bonus: folate also increases blood flow to the penis. And spinach is packed with lutein, a compound that fights age related macular degeneration. Aim for one cup of fresh spinach or half a cup cooked per day.
Make your salads with spinach; add spinach to scrambled eggs; drape it over pizza; mix it with marinara sauce, then microwave for an instant dip.

6. Padded bras & dating - a risky combination
February 15, 2008
Women face critical decisions every day, from which low-fat yoghurt to buy to how to let the guy at work know you’re interested without seeming desperate. But there’s one conundrum women rarely discuss: whether or not to wear a padded bra. When I was 15 I suffered the public ignominy of making the wrong decision. At Bondi Beach with Ben Piper, the best looking boy in Year 10, my dream date came unstuck the moment we entered the water. Surfacing from the first wave, we noticed half a dozen handkerchiefs floating about. The source of the hankies was my bikini: preoccupied with lo... (read more)
