The Ultimate Prickly Ananas comosus Merr!
 
Two years have passed since my visit to one of the large areas known for its great tasting Ananas comosus. Hawaii? So it's only natural that I should think about that particular food this time each year and my marvelous visit there. I also remember eating a lot of these and enjoying every morsel! Christopher Columbus discovered this delectable food growing on the island of Guadeloupe in 1493 and took them back to Spain. It became very popular in Europe by the 1600s.
 
What is Ananas comosus Merr? Pineapple! The exceptional juiciness and vibrant tropical flavor of pineapple that balances the tastes of sweet and tart make them only second to bananas as America's favorite tropical fruit. Although the Hawaiian season for pineapple runs from March through June, they are available year-round in local markets.
 
Bromelain, the great health property contained in pineapples, has been used for hundreds of years as a digestive aid, and to treat inflammation and other health problems. Recently, bromelain has been investigated for possible anticancer activity and now studies show it to contain protease that is a great blood thinner cholesterol lowering agent, thereby helping in preventing heart disease and stroke. Now all these will require daily consumption of pineapple and a very large portion.
 
Pineapple was a culinary favorite of the fierce Carib Indians who lived on islands in the sea that still bears their name.
 
High in fiber and very rich in minerals and vitamins: raw pineapple contains Calcium, a mineral, is used for building bones and teeth and in maintaining bone strength. Calcium is also used in muscle contraction, blood clotting, and maintenance of cell membranes.
Iron, Necessary for production hemoglobin, and oxygenation of red blood cells, builds up blood quality, and increases resistance as well as increasing energy production.
Magnesium, Key substance in proper functioning of nerves and muscles and healthy maintenance of bones. Helps protect the arterial lining from the stress of sudden blood pressure changes.
Phosphorus, Essential for utilization of carbohydrate, fats and proteins for growth, maintenance, repair of cells, and energy production. Necessary for proper skeletal growth, tooth development, kidney functioning and transference of nerve impulses.
Potassium, Essential for muscles, nerves and heart. Aids in proper maintenance of mineral balance of blood, as well as stable blood pressure. Works with sodium to regulate the body's water balance.
Sodium, The mineral is needed to maintain proper water balance and blood pH.  The mineral aids in the transmission of nerve impulses, production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, muscle function and immune system maintenance.
Zinc, important in prostate gland functions and the growth of reproductive organs. The mineralization of bone, a healthy immune system, the digestion of proteins, the acuity of taste and smell, detoxification of free radical promoting metals, collagen formation and wound healing, all depend on zinc. It assists in the transportation of vitamin A in the blood. Sufficient intake and absorption of zinc are needed to maintain the proper concentration of vitamin E in the blood.
Copper, its functions involve the development and maintenance of the cardiovascular, skeletal and the nervous system, including the brain. The development and maintenance of the red blood cells and healthy skin and hair also depend upon copper. Found in all the tissues, the mineral is most concentrated in the brain, heart, kidney, and liver.
Manganese, essential cofactor in a number of enzymes important in energy production and antioxidant defenses.
Selenium, enhances the immune system, normal development of the fetus during pregnancy, improving arthritic symptoms, and protecting the skin from UV rays. A deficiency could result in birth defects, increased risk of cancer, heart and liver diseases, Down's syndrome and fibrocystic breast disease.

Low in calories! Pineapple is best eaten alone between meals or its enzymes will be used up digesting food and not benefiting your body as well as it could.
 
Selecting, storing and using pineapple:
 
Look for pineapples that are heavy for their size. While larger pineapples will have more edible flesh, there is usually no difference in quality between a small and large size pineapple. Pineapples should be free of soft spots, bruises and darkened "eyes", all of which may indicate that the pineapple is past its prime. Choose fruit with a fragrant sweet smell at the stem end. Avoid pineapple that smells musty, sour or fermented.
 
Pineapple can be left at room temperature for one or two days before serving. While this process will not make the fruit any sweeter, it will help it to become softer and juicier. Since they are very perishable, you should watch closely during storing period to ensure that they do not spoil. After two days, if you are still not ready to consume the pineapple, you should wrap it in a perforated plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator where it will keep for a maximum of three to five more days.

Pineapple that has been cut up should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It will stay fresher and retain more taste and juiciness if you also place some liquid, preferably juice from the pineapple, in the container. Although pineapple can be frozen, this process greatly affects its flavor.
 
Our favorite way of eating pineapple is fresh and raw, can't beat it for great taste and enjoyment.
Until next week's food, eat to enjoy greater health. My husband loves pineapple pie.
 
Word of caution: If you are taking blood thinners eat pineapple or drink pineapple juice but monitor your blood closely for too much thinning as the bromelain has been known to cause thinning of the blood without help and add that to a ingested blood thinner could be a danger!
 
Enjoy!

How Environmentalists Lost the Battle Over TCE
By Ralph Vartabedian, LA Times
March 29, 2006


After massive underground plumes of an industrial solvent were discovered in the nation's water supplies, the Environmental Protection Agency mounted a major effort in the 1990s to assess how dangerous the chemical was to human health.

Following four years of study, senior EPA scientists came to an alarming conclusion: The solvent, trichloroethylene, or TCE, was as much as 40 times more likely to cause cancer than the EPA had previously believed.

The preliminary report in 2001 laid the groundwork for tough new standards to limit public exposure to TCE. Instead of triggering any action, however, the assessment set off a high-stakes battle between the EPA and Defense Department, which had more than 1,000 military properties nationwide polluted with TCE.

By 2003, after a prolonged challenge orchestrated by the Pentagon, the EPA lost control of the issue and its TCE assessment was cast aside. As a result, any conclusion about whether millions of Americans were being contaminated by TCE was delayed indefinitely.

What happened with TCE is a stark illustration of a power shift that has badly damaged the EPA's ability to carry out one of its essential missions: assessing the health risks of toxic chemicals.

The agency's authority and its scientific stature have been eroded under a withering attack on its technical staff by the military and its contractors. Indeed, the Bush administration leadership at the EPA ultimately sided with the military.

After years on the defensive, the Pentagon — with help from NASA and the Energy Department — is taking a far tougher stand in challenging calls for environmental cleanups. It is using its formidable political leverage to demand greater proof that industrial substances cause cancer before ratcheting up costly cleanups at polluted bases.

The military says it is only striving to make smart decisions based on sound science and accuses the EPA of being unduly influenced by left-leaning scientists.

But critics say the defense establishment has manufactured unwarranted scientific doubt, used its powerful role in the executive branch to cause delays and forced a reduction in the margins of protection that traditionally guard public health.

If the EPA's 2001 draft risk assessment was correct, then possibly thousands of the nation's birth defects and cancers every year are due in part to TCE exposure, according to several academic experts.

"It is a World Trade Center in slow motion," said Boston University epidemiologist David Ozonoff, a TCE expert. "You would never notice it."

Senior officials in the Defense Department say much remains unknown about TCE.

"We are all forgetting the facts on the table," said Alex A. Beehler, the Pentagon's top environmental official. "Meanwhile, we have done everything we can to curtail use of TCE."

But in the last four years, the Pentagon, with help from the Energy Department and NASA, derailed tough EPA action on such water contaminants as the rocket fuel ingredient perchlorate. In response, state regulators in California and elsewhere have moved to impose their own rules.

The stakes are even higher with TCE. Half a dozen state, federal and international agencies classify TCE as a probable carcinogen.

California EPA regulators consider TCE a known carcinogen and issued their own 1999 risk assessment that reached the same conclusion as federal EPA regulators: TCE was far more toxic than previous scientific studies indicated.

TCE is the most widespread water contaminant in the nation. Huge swaths of California, New York, Texas and Florida, among other states, lie over TCE plumes. The solvent has spread under much of the San Gabriel and San Fernando valleys, as well as the shuttered El Toro Marine Corps base in Orange County.

Developed by chemists in the late 19th century, TCE was widely used to degrease metal parts and then dumped into nearby disposal pits at industrial plants and military bases, where it seeped into aquifers.

The public is exposed to TCE in several ways, including drinking or showering in contaminated water and breathing air in homes where TCE vapors have intruded from the soil. Limiting such exposures, even at current federal regulatory levels, requires elaborate treatment facilities that cost billions of dollars annually. In addition, some cities, notably Los Angeles, have high ambient levels of TCE in the air.

An internal Air Force report issued in 2003 warned that the Pentagon alone has 1,400 sites contaminated with TCE.
