Did You Know?

Did you know that cere wax is the main ingredient in deodorants but is also used to give clothing that “wet look.”   Example: raincoats. Did you know that our word “candy” comes from the Arabic word “quandi,” meaning sugar cane? Of course, you do know the words “algebra” and “algorithm” also came from the Arabic. Even the word “coffee” comes from the Arabic “ qahwah .” Did you know it is still unknown whether sugar is addictive to humans? Read the book “1493” by Charles Mann for more information on this. Did you know that 70% of all olive oil is counterfeit?   That is, much of the   olive oil you buy is a blend with other vegetable oils, with flavoring added.   This is much cheaper to produce. It is virtually impossible to detect blends, even by experts; a chemical lab is needed.
