Shrimp is popular seafood in the U.S. and other parts of the world. It is found in seawater and freshwater and feeds off of detritus and plankton. This is a great protein source that helps protect against serious and degenerative diseases. It is not surprising that 5 billions of shrimp are produced annually. And if you love shrimp and festivities, join others for the Nation Shrimp Scampi Day on April 29th. While shrimp is tasty and healthy, it is an interesting species too. It is born male and changes sex and becomes female. And the shrimp’s head is the same size as its body. It is a strange species indeed and a gourmet food to enjoy.

Trufficulteurs Complain about Cheap Chinese Truffles Flooding the Market:
Truffles are expensive because they are hard to cultivate and grow. While some varieties cannot be cultivated, others are not as elusive and grow in truffle farms. Such farms are economically rewarding because truffles are in demand. However, some restaurants use inexpensive Chinese varieties that sell for about $20 per pound. They are more common and hence – less expensive than French truffles. Retailers use chemicals to make them look like the expensive Peringord. The Italian Alba and the Peringord are two of the world’s most expensive truffle varieties. The Chinese impostors contain synthetic flavors and aromas to mimic the Peringord. The problem is that it is difficult to taste the difference.

Mercury is released by industrial facilities, cement plants, and power plants. It is a type of neurotoxin that poses health hazards and causes hypertension, memory impairment, and kidney dysfunction. Why do we use mercury then? It is used in dental amalgams, barometers, paints, and pesticides. But the potential harm outweighs the benefits. A 2005 research study reveals that there are considerable amounts of mercury in the blood of newborn babies. The problem is that children suffer IQ loss. As a powerful neurotoxin, mercury affects brain activity and may cause premature death. When it comes to economic benefits, mercury accounts for about $4 million in the U.S. This is the cost of preventing cognitive damage to babies and young kids.
