PARSLEY BENEFITS
Do you really think the carnivore who ordered this huge steak also ate the parsley? I doubt!
The phenomenal power of parsley."The Americans grow more parsley than any other nation and discard over 50 per cent of it on their garnished plates. Little do they know that it produces one of the most seductive body odours, androstenone-based, for both sexes." Dr Max Lake

Slow food is an acquired taste ... they will, of course, add 10-20 quality years to your life.
Eggs are of course high in cholesterol, I love them but they do need to be eaten in moderation. See the effect of Exercise on Cholesterol ... along with a high fibre, salad, veg and fruit diet, cholesterol should hold no fears for you. Avoid the statins, instead enjoy our Olive Garden salad recipe ...
