How the political and social views of Japanese Latter-day Saints compare with their U.S. counterparts.   The high-ranking business executive didn’t know what to do. A faithful Japanese Latter-day Saint, he had committed to never allowing a drop of green tea — considered, along with black tea and coffee, to be against the faith’s dietary code — to pass his lips. But here he was, seated at a full conference table while the powerful chair of another organization’s board performed a tea ceremony in his honor.    https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2024/04/12/what-could-unlock-lds-church/

https://www.tastingtable.com/788370/chocolate-brands-ranked-worst-to-best/     If you have a sweet tooth, chances are chocolate brands are high on your snack radar. And if you agree that chocolate might as well be the eighth wonder of the world, keep reading. Per Insider, the chocolate industry is a more than $100 billion business, and keeping that business alive requires a lot of cocoa beans. According to the National Confectioners Association, it takes 400 cocoa beans to make just one pound of chocolate — and a cacao tree will, on average, produce some 2,500 beans a year, which yields about six pounds of chocolate. To put this into context, for Valentine's Day alone, an estimated 58 million pounds of chocolate are sold every year. As with any food product, some chocolate makers are killing it in this space, while others aren't quite living up to the hype. Our Tasting Table taste testers hit the ground running to round up 25 chocolate brands with the end goal of ranking them f

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-57821-5  This study evaluates the effects of a green tea (Camellia sinensis) and hyaluronic acid gel on fibroblast activity and alveolar bone repair following third molar extractions. By examining the gene expression related to cell survival, proliferation, and angiogenesis, the study bridges in vitro findings with clinical outcomes in a split-mouth randomized trial. Human fibroblasts were exposed to the treatment gel, analysing gene expression through RT-qPCR. Twenty participants undergoing bilateral third molar extractions received the test gel on one side and a placebo on the other. Assessments included patient-reported outcomes, professional evaluations, and radiographic analyses at multiple postoperative intervals. The test gel significantly enhanced AKT, CDKs, and VEGF gene expressions, indicating a positive effect on angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Clinically, it resulted in reduced exudate, swelling, and secondary int

Competing on social purpose is sure to attract criticism—virtually all social issues have both advocates and detractors—which can stall or even derail a program. Thus, managers must evaluate whether key stakeholders will accept and support the proposed social-purpose strategy. As with customer associations, some stakeholders may embrace a brand purpose while others reject it. Our research has found three drivers of negative reactions: inconsistency between the brand claim and the company’s actions, politicization of the claim, and suspicion about the firm’s motives. Consider again Dove brand’s Campaign for Real Beauty. The marketing program challenged traditional standards of beauty and promoted the idea that true beauty has limitless forms. Its success made the brand a leading example of how to effectively integrate a social purpose into an existing brand strategy. But as its popularity grew, the campaign also attracted criticism. Some detractors noted an inconsistency

Green tea has many health benefits including reducing the harmful impact of cancer cells and cholesterol and fat in the body.

Enzymes are great catalysts because they are extremely selective and work under a variety of circumstances. Enzyme businesses have designed proteins that can work in severe process conditions, such as those that involve solvents, salts, and high temperatures, by combining the correct enzymes with genetic engineering. The global market for industrial enzymes is presently valued at $1.8 billion per year, and it is increasing at a rate of more than 20% per year. Industrial enzymes are enzymes that are employed in a range of industries, including medicines, chemical manufacturing, biofuels, food and beverage, and consumer goods. Biocatalysis using isolated enzymes is now regarded more cost-effective than using whole cells, thanks to recent advances. Any live organism can be used to extract biologically active enzymes. Over half of the hundred enzymes used in industry come from fungi, with the rest coming from bacteria, animals (8%), and plants (4%). In India, the bio ind

  There are coffee drinkers, there are tea drinkers, and then there are green tea drinkers… a category all its own. It's understandable why green tea is such a fun and distinct hot beverage option. The aroma offers soothing and relaxing qualities that exude "day at the spa" vibes, but you may still get a necessary caffeine boost to help you power through the morning. And that's not all! I drank green tea for 30 days and am here to tell you all about my journey. (I even pulled out my vintage tea cup and saucer to make this new daily ritual a little "extra.") I consider myself to be a coffee/tea hybrid. I love a good latte, cappuccino, or hazelnut iced coffee just as much as the next person. When I opt for tea, I typically choose black tea or a matcha latte. I've never fully explored green tea as my main caffeine source—or go-to beverage—but recently did for 30 days straight. During my experiment, I enjoyed one cup of green tea in the morning

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/i-gave-up-caffeine-for-a-month-and-this-is-what-happened?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-intl I told my (not so supportive) colleague I was giving up caffeine for a month. “Coffee is wonderful. You’re making a terrible mistake,” he said. I’d been thinking about it for a while after a friend went caffeine-free and, in her words, “stopped being so ratty and shouty towards the kids.” After a busy year, I had been feeling the same way: slightly jittery and utterly exhausted.   Like most busy working parents, I was using coffee as a sticking plaster for an overly hectic life. When one of my young children woke me up at the crack of dawn, putting the kettle on to make a cup of tea, while it was still dark outside, felt reassuring and gave me a little jolt of energy. Grabbing a creamy, strong flat white mid morning gave me another. A second or third

Global Tea Bags Market reached US$ 7.80 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 13.81 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Increasing health consciousness among consumers is increasing the demand for healthy and immunity-booting drinks such as green tea and herbal tea. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization 2023, global annual tea production amounts to over $18 billion with around 13 million producers involved in it. The availability of tea bags in various shapes such as pillow, round, square and pyramid provides consumers with a convenient way of having their favourite tea. Manufacturers are developing innovative packaging and aromatic flavours to attract more consumers. The launch of natural and eco-friendly tea bags into the market is positively influencing the expansion of the global tea bags market. For instance, in April 2023, Eshanya Beverages, a Mysuru-based start-up, introduced Betel leaf tea

Advocates praise its potential to aid weight loss, particularly when consumed after meals.

Green tea has gained immense popularity for its touted health benefits, from antioxidants to potential weight loss properties. While many people prefer the convenience of tea bags, it's crucial to be aware of the potential dangers associated with their use. 02 /6 ​​Toxicity concerns​ It's well known that fluoride from the soil accumulates in green tea leaves. Overconsumption of fluoride can result in fluorosis, a disorder that weakens and discolors teeth and bones. Pesticides may be sprayed to tea plants, and the residue may remain on the leaves. When ingested over time, these residues from tea bags could be harmful to
