Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dfba64372339cc34cf17e446e6f18fa8?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":null,"facebook":"bayareabites","instagram":null,"linkedin":"wendygoodfriend","sites":[{"site":"jpepinheart","roles":["administrator"]},{"site":"about","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"bayareabites","roles":["subscriber"]},{"site":"science","roles":["administrator"]},{"site":"checkplease","roles":["subscriber"]},{"site":"food","roles":["author"]},{"site":"essentialpepin","roles":["administrator"]}],"headData":{"title":"Wendy Goodfriend | KQED","description":null,"ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dfba64372339cc34cf17e446e6f18fa8?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dfba64372339cc34cf17e446e6f18fa8?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/wendy-goodfriend"},"kim-laidlaw":{"type":"authors","id":"5015","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"5015","found":true},"name":"Kim Laidlaw","firstName":"Kim","lastName":"Laidlaw","slug":"kim-laidlaw","email":"kim_laidlaw@yahoo.com","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":[],"title":null,"bio":"Kim Laidlaw is a cookbook author, editor, food writer, producer, project manager, and baker who has been in the kitchen covered in flour since she was big enough to stir the biscuit dough.

I was raised by an Italian-American mother who, in the 1970s, grew her own basil (because she couldn’t find any in the local grocery stores), zucchini (for those delicious flowers), and tomatoes (because the ones in the store tasted like “a potato”). My mom taught us to love all kinds of food and revere high-quality ingredients. I am now trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps and am on a mission to help my daughters become adventurous eaters who have a healthy respect for seasonal food raised locally. My daughters and I grow vegetables and go to the farmers’ market. We also love to shop at Piedmont Grocery and Trader Joe’s. When I’m not hanging out with my daughters or cooking, I like to contribute to cookbooks (including Williams-Sonoma’s Food Made Fast and Foods of the World series), work as an editor, and write about food for \u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Denise's Kitchen\u003c/strong>.

For many people, who’ve been told for years that if they simply had more willpower, they’d be guaranteed thinness and good health, his message is a relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those people is Cindy Gershen. When Lustig met Gershen, the owner of \u003ca href=\"http://sunrisebistrocatering.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Walnut Creek’s Sunrise Bistro\u003c/a>, she was 100 pounds overweight. After meeting Lustig and following his eating advice, she lost the weight and started teaching a nutrition class at Concord’s Mt. Diablo High School, where many of her students have undergone similar weight loss transformations. In 2007, she created the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wellnesscitychallenge.org/about/\" target=\"_blank\">Wellness City Challenge\u003c/a>, a healthy living advocacy group that encouraged restaurants to remove trans fats and citizens to exercise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_85330\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/cindy-gershen-robert-lustig1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/cindy-gershen-robert-lustig1000.jpg\" alt=\"Cindy Gershen and Dr. Robert Lustig co-wrote The Fat Chance Cookbook.

They said decrease your calories; increase your exercise; you’re lazy; you’re stressed out. And then I met Dr. Lustig. He said it was none of those things. It was all the sugar and it was a lack of fiber. I changed my food to the things that he told me to do. I’ve lost 100 pounds; I’ve restored my vitality, my health, and I’m happy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lustig instead attributes the rise in obesity (increasing one percent every year) and other related health problems to the rise of sugary processed foods. His catchphrase—repeated throughout his lecture and his books— is that \u003cstrong>a calorie is not a calorie\u003c/strong>. Our body processes different types of fats and carbs in radically different ways. Take fat. There are good fats, like the omega-3 fatty acids (found in wild fish and flax,) and bad fats, like omega-6 fatty acid found in corn-fed beef. Omega-3s reduce inflammation and repair membranes, whereas omega-6s cause inflammation and increases risk of health problems like arthritis and cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_85314\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-get-too-much1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-get-too-much1000.jpg\" alt=\"We Get Too Much...Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-85314\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">We Get Too Much...Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The same goes for carbs. There are good carbs, like lactose, the sugar found in milk, or fiber-heavy foods like vegetables and whole grains. But the worst carb of all, says Lustig, is sugar. It’s omnipresent in our food supply (77% of the foods in the America food supply include added sugar), and plays a huge role in metabolic syndrome, which leads to diseases like diabetes: Lustig cited a study that showed while eating an extra 150 calories per day did not increase diabetes prevalence worldwide, if those calories came from soda, diabetes prevalence went up 11-fold for the same number of calories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_85315\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-get-too-little1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-get-too-little1000.jpg\" alt=\"We Get Too Little...Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-85315\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">We Get Too Little...Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The negative effects sugar has on our bodies are staggering: sugar alters our hormones so we don’t register hunger the way we normally would, making us eat more; it spikes our dopamine, making us requiring us to eat more sugar for the same effect; and it affects our liver in the same way that alcohol does. We consume an astounding 18 bags of sugar per year, and half of that is added sugar, hidden away in our ketchup and potato chips under names like brown rice syrup and fruit puree (last year, Lustig wrote an ebook called \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Has-56-Names-Shoppers-ebook/dp/B00E8OLID2/ref=la_B00ABNHXOW_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1406682134&sr=1-3\" target=\"_blank\">Sugar Has 56 Names: A Shopper's Guide\u003c/a>). And even if we tried to cut down on sugar, food companies have every incentive to keep us from doing just that: sugar is a cheap preservative that extends food’s shelf life and keeps prices low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listening to Lustig’s lecture, it’s easy to feel powerless, or think back guiltily to the honey in your tea or the granola you ate with your yogurt this morning (“Granola,” Lustig said sternly, “is a dessert.”). Yet, there are things we can do to fix what Lustig calls our “toxic food environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_85312\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-toxic-cleanup1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-toxic-cleanup1000.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Robert Lustig's Toxic Clean-Up Tips.

Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The most valuable change, he says, is shifting your diet to one low in sugar and high in fiber. You don’t need to skip every birthday cake or break room muffin, but toss the soda and juice (which is just as bad as soda, according to Lustig) and start eating more vegetables and whole grains. Lustig cited the famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/magazine/28nutritionism.t.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Pollan maxim\u003c/a> to “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants” but told the audience to focus on the first part of the sentence—focusing on eating real food, he said, the kind your grandmother would recognize, is the most efficient way to better health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lustig, a former college actor, has a flair for the dramatic. At the beginning of his lecture at KQED, he promised to “change your whole thinking about obesity, diets, and what really causes many of our most dangerous diseases.” It’s a bold claim, especially when we’re awash in diets all claiming to be the healthiest choice, with the high fat Paleo crowd competing against the low fat diet advocates (A debate which Lustig is ambivalent on: they’re both healthy, he said, but he has no preference for any particular diet as long as it’s high fiber, low sugar and free of processed foods.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, even if you’re one of the millions who watched Lustig’s original lecture, or you’ve read one of the countless articles about cutting your sugar intake, there’s still much to be gained from reading Lustig’s books, or watching his KQED lecture when it airs in October. Lustig has the ability to distill complex biological processes into simple explanations, the case studies from his work illuminate the misconceptions we have about obesity (it’s hard to argue that obesity is a personal choice when confronted with an obese six month old), and perhaps most importantly, the ability to inspire hope about an issue that often seems impossible to fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s easy to watch a YouTube video and resolve to drink less juice. It’s not as easy to get large swathes of people to stop buying soda, to reform school lunch menus or make unprocessed food more accessible to lower income populations. Yet watching Lustig talk about the injustices in our food system, his Brooklyn accent growing thicker the faster and more passionately he speaks, gives you hope. Our government may not care that they’re drowning us in sugar. The companies that sell us our food certainly don’t. But Lustig does, and he’s not going to stop talking until people listen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003ch3>Lustig’s Dos and Don’ts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\u003cstrong>Do:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Shop the edges of the store, not aisles for real food\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eat more omega-3 fatty acids, found in wild fish and flax\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eat fruit as dessert, and if you’re craving cookies or cake, make your own\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Increase consumption of micronutrients, the vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Up your fiber intake.

He wrote a New York Times bestseller, 2012’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Chance-Beating-Against-Processed/dp/0142180432/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406681873&sr=8-1&keywords=fat+chance\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and came out with a companion cookbook \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/The-Fat-Chance-Cookbook-Recipes/dp/1594632944/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406681873&sr=8-2&keywords=fat+chance\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>The Fat Chance Cookbook: More Than 100 Recipes Ready in Under 30 Minutes to Help You Lose the Sugar and the Weight\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, in December of 2013. Recently, he spoke at KQED for a special presentation (airing in October) called “\u003cstrong>Sweet Revenge: Turning the Tables on Processed Food\u003c/strong>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lustig’s popularity can partially be attributed to his message that obesity is the result of a broken food system—not laziness or gluttony. For many people, who’ve been told for years that if they simply had more willpower, they’d be guaranteed thinness and good health, his message is a relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those people is Cindy Gershen. When Lustig met Gershen, the owner of \u003ca href=\"http://sunrisebistrocatering.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Walnut Creek’s Sunrise Bistro\u003c/a>, she was 100 pounds overweight. After meeting Lustig and following his eating advice, she lost the weight and started teaching a nutrition class at Concord’s Mt. Diablo High School, where many of her students have undergone similar weight loss transformations. In 2007, she created the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wellnesscitychallenge.org/about/\" target=\"_blank\">Wellness City Challenge\u003c/a>, a healthy living advocacy group that encouraged restaurants to remove trans fats and citizens to exercise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_85330\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/cindy-gershen-robert-lustig1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/cindy-gershen-robert-lustig1000.jpg\" alt=\"Cindy Gershen and Dr. Robert Lustig co-wrote The Fat Chance Cookbook.

They said decrease your calories; increase your exercise; you’re lazy; you’re stressed out. And then I met Dr. Lustig. He said it was none of those things. It was all the sugar and it was a lack of fiber. I changed my food to the things that he told me to do.

His catchphrase—repeated throughout his lecture and his books— is that \u003cstrong>a calorie is not a calorie\u003c/strong>. Our body processes different types of fats and carbs in radically different ways. Take fat. There are good fats, like the omega-3 fatty acids (found in wild fish and flax,) and bad fats, like omega-6 fatty acid found in corn-fed beef. Omega-3s reduce inflammation and repair membranes, whereas omega-6s cause inflammation and increases risk of health problems like arthritis and cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_85314\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-get-too-much1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-get-too-much1000.jpg\" alt=\"We Get Too Much...Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-85314\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">We Get Too Much...Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The same goes for carbs. There are good carbs, like lactose, the sugar found in milk, or fiber-heavy foods like vegetables and whole grains. But the worst carb of all, says Lustig, is sugar. It’s omnipresent in our food supply (77% of the foods in the America food supply include added sugar), and plays a huge role in metabolic syndrome, which leads to diseases like diabetes: Lustig cited a study that showed while eating an extra 150 calories per day did not increase diabetes prevalence worldwide, if those calories came from soda, diabetes prevalence went up 11-fold for the same number of calories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_85315\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-get-too-little1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-get-too-little1000.jpg\" alt=\"We Get Too Little...Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-85315\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">We Get Too Little...Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The negative effects sugar has on our bodies are staggering: sugar alters our hormones so we don’t register hunger the way we normally would, making us eat more; it spikes our dopamine, making us requiring us to eat more sugar for the same effect; and it affects our liver in the same way that alcohol does. We consume an astounding 18 bags of sugar per year, and half of that is added sugar, hidden away in our ketchup and potato chips under names like brown rice syrup and fruit puree (last year, Lustig wrote an ebook called \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Has-56-Names-Shoppers-ebook/dp/B00E8OLID2/ref=la_B00ABNHXOW_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1406682134&sr=1-3\" target=\"_blank\">Sugar Has 56 Names: A Shopper's Guide\u003c/a>). And even if we tried to cut down on sugar, food companies have every incentive to keep us from doing just that: sugar is a cheap preservative that extends food’s shelf life and keeps prices low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listening to Lustig’s lecture, it’s easy to feel powerless, or think back guiltily to the honey in your tea or the granola you ate with your yogurt this morning (“Granola,” Lustig said sternly, “is a dessert.”). Yet, there are things we can do to fix what Lustig calls our “toxic food environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_85312\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-toxic-cleanup1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-toxic-cleanup1000.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Robert Lustig's Toxic Clean-Up Tips.

Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The most valuable change, he says, is shifting your diet to one low in sugar and high in fiber. You don’t need to skip every birthday cake or break room muffin, but toss the soda and juice (which is just as bad as soda, according to Lustig) and start eating more vegetables and whole grains. Lustig cited the famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/magazine/28nutritionism.t.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Pollan maxim\u003c/a> to “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants” but told the audience to focus on the first part of the sentence—focusing on eating real food, he said, the kind your grandmother would recognize, is the most efficient way to better health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lustig, a former college actor, has a flair for the dramatic. At the beginning of his lecture at KQED, he promised to “change your whole thinking about obesity, diets, and what really causes many of our most dangerous diseases.” It’s a bold claim, especially when we’re awash in diets all claiming to be the healthiest choice, with the high fat Paleo crowd competing against the low fat diet advocates (A debate which Lustig is ambivalent on: they’re both healthy, he said, but he has no preference for any particular diet as long as it’s high fiber, low sugar and free of processed foods.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, even if you’re one of the millions who watched Lustig’s original lecture, or you’ve read one of the countless articles about cutting your sugar intake, there’s still much to be gained from reading Lustig’s books, or watching his KQED lecture when it airs in October. Lustig has the ability to distill complex biological processes into simple explanations, the case studies from his work illuminate the misconceptions we have about obesity (it’s hard to argue that obesity is a personal choice when confronted with an obese six month old), and perhaps most importantly, the ability to inspire hope about an issue that often seems impossible to fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s easy to watch a YouTube video and resolve to drink less juice. It’s not as easy to get large swathes of people to stop buying soda, to reform school lunch menus or make unprocessed food more accessible to lower income populations. Yet watching Lustig talk about the injustices in our food system, his Brooklyn accent growing thicker the faster and more passionately he speaks, gives you hope. Our government may not care that they’re drowning us in sugar. The companies that sell us our food certainly don’t. But Lustig does, and he’s not going to stop talking until people listen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003ch3>Lustig’s Dos and Don’ts\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\u003cstrong>Do:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Shop the edges of the store, not aisles for real food\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eat more omega-3 fatty acids, found in wild fish and flax\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eat fruit as dessert, and if you’re craving cookies or cake, make your own\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Increase consumption of micronutrients, the vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Up your fiber intake.

This could be because I'm Italian and my people don't make traditional fruitcakes (we instead eat the divine panetone), or maybe people just don't give each other fruitcakes anymore. Whatever the case, I was out of the loop until I purchased one in Scotland a couple of months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While visiting the gift shop at \u003ca href=\"http://www.royal.gov.uk/OutPut/Page559.asp\">Holyrood Palace\u003c/a> in Edinburgh -- I spied some traditional British fruitcakes and thought it would be fun to bring one home to share with my mom over the holidays. When I asked the cashier if it would last until December, he laughed and said \"Definitely.\" Thinking his droll response had more to do with the reputation fruitcake has than the actual merit of the one I sat on the counter, I spent 5 pounds on it (that's $10 US bucks) and packed it up in my suitcase. When we got home, I stuck it in the fridge, all bundled up in its shrink wrap niceties, until the holiday season arrived. Then, on Christmas Eve, my mom and I made a hot pot of tea while it stormed outside, and sat down to our plate of authentic English fruitcake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After one bite, our eyes met as we mutually realized the obvious: if this fruitcake was an authentic representation, the stories weren't rumors. With a texture both brittle and brick-like, it was difficult to chew even the smallest bite without choking. I read the list of ingredients on the wrapper and realized that this sad example of a holiday cake didn't have any alcohol in it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fruitcakes are traditionally aged in a cloth wrapping of alcohol for at least five weeks. The alcohol preserves the cakes, fruits, and nuts within, and keeps everything moist. I wondered what the chefs at Holyrood Palace Gift Shop were thinking when they stuck this sad use of flour, fruit and nuts in cellophane without a little brandy. Maybe it was an attempt to get more people to purchase one, although I was reminded of the old adage that when you try to please everyone, you end up making absolutely nobody happy. I began to wonder how many of these confections were made -- and aged -- without alcohol or some type of moistening agent. It seemed that in an attempt to gain a wider audience through omitting the alcohol, cooks had turned what had once been a yearly treat into an inedible burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mom and I love a culinary challenge, so we jumped into action. With just a little bit of work, and about a half cup of brandy, the fruitcake became more than edible. Yes, I am here to say that a hard-as-nails, dry-as-the-desert dessert can be revived in, amazingly, less than ten minutes. Not only revived, but made moist and delicious. After \"fixing\" the cake, mom and I enjoyed our nice hot cup of tea and gobbled up our treat quite happily. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you find yourself a recipient of a fruitcake this year, please know that your only recourse is not to pass it on to another unsuspecting dupe. In just a few short minutes you can bring new life to your confection, and spend an afternoon happily nibbling away with a hot cup of tea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2008/12/fruitcake-pan.jpg\" alt=\"reviving a fruitcake\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How to Revive a Fruitcake\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1.

They're supposedly the favored gift to \"re-gift,\" can last for years, and are hockey-puck textured. According to the late Johnny Carson, \"The worst gift is a fruitcake. There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I thought this all more legend than reality, however, as I had never actually tasted one in person until recently. This could be because I'm Italian and my people don't make traditional fruitcakes (we instead eat the divine panetone), or maybe people just don't give each other fruitcakes anymore. Whatever the case, I was out of the loop until I purchased one in Scotland a couple of months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While visiting the gift shop at \u003ca href=\"http://www.royal.gov.uk/OutPut/Page559.asp\">Holyrood Palace\u003c/a> in Edinburgh -- I spied some traditional British fruitcakes and thought it would be fun to bring one home to share with my mom over the holidays. When I asked the cashier if it would last until December, he laughed and said \"Definitely.\" Thinking his droll response had more to do with the reputation fruitcake has than the actual merit of the one I sat on the counter, I spent 5 pounds on it (that's $10 US bucks) and packed it up in my suitcase. When we got home, I stuck it in the fridge, all bundled up in its shrink wrap niceties, until the holiday season arrived. Then, on Christmas Eve, my mom and I made a hot pot of tea while it stormed outside, and sat down to our plate of authentic English fruitcake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After one bite, our eyes met as we mutually realized the obvious: if this fruitcake was an authentic representation, the stories weren't rumors. With a texture both brittle and brick-like, it was difficult to chew even the smallest bite without choking. I read the list of ingredients on the wrapper and realized that this sad example of a holiday cake didn't have any alcohol in it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fruitcakes are traditionally aged in a cloth wrapping of alcohol for at least five weeks. The alcohol preserves the cakes, fruits, and nuts within, and keeps everything moist. I wondered what the chefs at Holyrood Palace Gift Shop were thinking when they stuck this sad use of flour, fruit and nuts in cellophane without a little brandy. Maybe it was an attempt to get more people to purchase one, although I was reminded of the old adage that when you try to please everyone, you end up making absolutely nobody happy. I began to wonder how many of these confections were made -- and aged -- without alcohol or some type of moistening agent. It seemed that in an attempt to gain a wider audience through omitting the alcohol, cooks had turned what had once been a yearly treat into an inedible burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mom and I love a culinary challenge, so we jumped into action. With just a little bit of work, and about a half cup of brandy, the fruitcake became more than edible. Yes, I am here to say that a hard-as-nails, dry-as-the-desert dessert can be revived in, amazingly, less than ten minutes. Not only revived, but made moist and delicious. After \"fixing\" the cake, mom and I enjoyed our nice hot cup of tea and gobbled up our treat quite happily. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you find yourself a recipient of a fruitcake this year, please know that your only recourse is not to pass it on to another unsuspecting dupe.

Although it’s tempting to write it off as just another trend set in motion by our superfood-obsessed culture, South Africans have long touted rooibos as a wonder bush with medicinal properties. For hundreds of years it's been purported to help alleviate symptoms associated with asthma, eczema, heartburn, insomnia and nausea, among other problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evidence to support these claims is largely anecdotal, but there is a growing body of science-based research that suggests rooibos may offer a number of impressive health benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing we do know for sure is that rooibos is rich in beneficial polyphenols, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16927447\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two rare flavonoids known as aspalathin and nothofagin\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11566638\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flavonoids\u003c/a> are generally known for their potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and antiviral activities, many of which play a role in helping our bodies fend off chronic diseases.

After 40 human volunteers drank six cups of fermented rooibos daily for six weeks, researchers found that the tea had significantly reduced “bad” cholesterol (LDL), and increased “good” cholesterol (HDL).

Although it’s tempting to write it off as just another trend set in motion by our superfood-obsessed culture, South Africans have long touted rooibos as a wonder bush with medicinal properties. For hundreds of years it's been purported to help alleviate symptoms associated with asthma, eczema, heartburn, insomnia and nausea, among other problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evidence to support these claims is largely anecdotal, but there is a growing body of science-based research that suggests rooibos may offer a number of impressive health benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing we do know for sure is that rooibos is rich in beneficial polyphenols, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16927447\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two rare flavonoids known as aspalathin and nothofagin\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11566638\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flavonoids\u003c/a> are generally known for their potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and antiviral activities, many of which play a role in helping our bodies fend off chronic diseases. But studies of the specific flavonoids found in red tea have not been studied as extensively as others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The South African Rooibos Council posted on its website a roundup of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sarooibos.org.za/images/the-science-behind-rooibos-july2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wide range of promising studies\u003c/a> conducted between 2009 and 2013, including research into rooibos’ ability to offer cardiovascular protection, help prevent diabetes, improve male fertility and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sarooibos.org.za/home-mainmenu-1/179-rooibos-helps-protect-against-skin-cancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inhibit the development skin cancer when applied topically\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The catch is that most of the studies to date have been conducted in test tubes or with rats, as opposed to actual human beings. That said, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20833235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one clinical study\u003c/a> out of South Africa did catch my eye. After 40 human volunteers drank six cups of fermented rooibos daily for six weeks, researchers found that the tea had significantly reduced “bad” cholesterol (LDL), and increased “good” cholesterol (HDL). The study also suggested “the antioxidant activity of the tea could be relevant in reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of what further research yields, it seems to me that there are already plenty of good reasons to swap your usual hot beverage for a mug of rooibos tea on occasion.
