Honey Sapiens : Human cognition and sugars: the ugly, the bad and the good
Every human function requires energy, and no organ more so than the brain which accounts for only 2% of body weight but consumes 20% of total body energy production.Without a sufficient energy supply we lose the ability to think clearly, react quickly or make good decisions.In Honey Sapiens, pharmacist Mike McInnes explores human energy metabolism and how this is affected negatively by refined sugars and positively by honey.In particular, his more than 20 years of research into sports nutrition have shown him the central importance of the little-known enzyme glutamine synthetase and how this is degraded by refined sugars, a key factor in memory loss, dementia and neurocognitive problems in the young and old and in utero.Drawing on an internationally diverse range of published findings, often ignored in English-speaking countries, he explains this causal pattern and the solutions, including the unrivalled part honey and the bioflavonoids it contains can play in supporting brain function long-term and protecting it from refined sugar degradation.

Restoring Heritage Grains : The Culture, Biodiversity, Resilience, and Cuisine of Ancient Wheats
Including recipes for baking with EinkornWheat is the most widely grown crop on our planet, yet industrial breeders have transformed this ancient staff of life into a commodity of yield and profit—witness the increase in gluten intolerance and 'wheat belly’. Modern wheat depends on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that damage our health, land, water, and environment.Fortunately, heritage ‘landrace' wheats that evolved over millennia in the organic fields of traditional farms do not need bio-chemical intervention to yield bountifully, are gluten-safe, have rich flavor and high nutrition.Yet the robust, majestic wheats that nourished our ancestors are on the verge of extinction. In Restoring Heritage Grains, author Eli Rogosa of the Heritage Grain Conservancy, invites readers to restore forgotten wheats such as delicious gluten-safe einkorn that nourished the first Neolithic farmers, emmer—the grain of ancient Israel, Egypt, and Rome that is perfect for pasta and flatbreads, rare durums that are drought-tolerant and high in protein, and many more little known wheat species, each of which have a lineage intertwined with the human species and that taste better than any modern wheat. Restoring Heritage Grains combines the history of grain growing and society, in-depth practical advice on landrace wheat husbandry, wheat folk traditions and mythology, and guidelines for the Neolithic diet with traditional recipes for rustic bread, pastry and beer.Discover the ancient grains that may be one of the best solutions to hunger today, and provide resilience for our future.

What is the difference in the way simple sugars, double sugars, complex sugars, and dietary fibers work?
Simple sugars, such as glucose and fructose, are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, providing a rapid source of energy. Double sugars, like sucrose and lactose, take slightly longer to break down and absorb, providing a more sustained release of energy. Complex sugars, found in foods like whole grains and starchy vegetables, take the longest to break down and provide a steady, long-lasting source of energy. Dietary fibers, found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, are not broken down by the body and instead aid in digestion and promote feelings of fullness, as well as helping to regulate blood sugar levels.
-
What are saccharide sugars?
Saccharide sugars are a type of carbohydrate that are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. They are commonly found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains, and are the main source of energy for the body. Saccharide sugars can be further classified into monosaccharides (single sugar molecules), disaccharides (two sugar molecules linked together), and polysaccharides (long chains of sugar molecules). Examples of saccharide sugars include glucose, fructose, sucrose, and starch.
-
What are reducing sugars?
Reducing sugars are a type of sugar that have the ability to reduce other substances, particularly by donating electrons. This is due to the presence of a free aldehyde or ketone group in their chemical structure. Common examples of reducing sugars include glucose, fructose, and maltose. When reducing sugars react with certain compounds, they can cause a color change, such as in the Benedict's test for detecting the presence of reducing sugars.

What do simple, double, and multiple sugars mean?
Simple sugars, also known as monosaccharides, are the most basic form of carbohydrates and cannot be broken down into smaller sugars. Double sugars, or disaccharides, are made up of two simple sugar molecules bonded together. Multiple sugars, or polysaccharides, are composed of many simple sugar molecules linked together in long chains. These different types of sugars play a key role in providing energy for the body and are found in various foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains.

Sustainable Marketing of Transformative Heritage Tourism
This book proposes that sustainable marketing should be founded on a higher level of consciousness, governed by the Eastern ethical principles of dharma and karma.It suggests a socially responsible, integrated marketing strategy to boost transformational heritage tourism. The book puts forward a framework to promote and inspire transformative heritage tourism from a sustainable marketing perspective.Drawing on examples from different parts of the world such as Thailand, China, the USA, India, Australia, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Hong Kong, it takes a unique approach by integrating elements associated with distributive justice, procedural justice, morally motivated existentialist authentic experiences and the well-being of visited and visiting environments.The book pivots on the planning and marketing of heritage of communities such as local, descendent and indigenous across eight broad themes: (1) promotion and sustainable branding of heritage tourism; (2) empowerment of indigenous communities; (3) authenticity and conservation of heritage; (4) safeguarding of art, culture and cultural landscapes; (5) economic viability for the host communities; (6) interpretation and resolution of dissonant heritage representations; (7) stimulating audience engagement and co-created mindful spaces and; (8) facilitating moral consciousness and stimulating lasting inner transformation in guests and hosts.Scholars can replicate and/or test the proposed guided sustainable marketing model, referred to as the transformative heritage tourism pathway, which is adapted from a) the needs, activities and well-being sequential path of transformation and, b) the socially responsible sustainable marketing doctrine guided by the principles of 'dharma' and 'karma'.This book is unique as it stresses eudaimonia as the ultimate goal of well-being and argues that its pursuit can steer the sustained transformation route toward a higher sense of consciousness and responsible production and consumption of heritage resources. In summary, this book contributes toward advancing the dialogue on sustainable marketing and transformative heritage tourism.It will appeal to researchers, undergraduates and practitioners interested in sustainable marketing, transformative heritage tourism and social, ecological, cultural and economic welfare of visited and visiting destinations.

Western Front: Landscape, Tourism and Heritage
The Western Front has become, once again, and after 100 years, an important and increasingly popular tourist destination.The Centenary is already encouraging large numbers of visitors to engage with this highly poignant landscape of war and to commemorate the sacrifice and loss of a previous generation.Interest is also being sharpened in the 'places of war' as battle-sites, trench-systems, bunkers and mine craters gain a clearer identity as war heritage.For the first time this book brings together the three strands of heritage, landscape and tourism to provide a fresh understanding of the multi-layered nature of the Western Front.The book approaches the area as a rich dynamic landscape which can be viewed in a startling variety of ways: historically, materially, culturally, and perceptually.To illustrate these two dominant interpretations of the region's landscape - commemorative and heritage - are highlighted and their relationship to tourism explored.Tourism is a lens through which these layers can be peeled away, and each understood and interacted with according to the individual's own knowledge, motivation, and degree of emotional engagement.Tourism is not regarded here as a passive phenomenon, but as an active agent that can determine, dictate and inscribe this evocative landscape. The Western Front: Heritage, Landscape and Tourism is a timely addition to our increasing interest in the First World War and the places where it was fought.It will be indispensable to those who seek a deeper understanding of the conflict from previously undervalued perspectives.

What is the difference between multiple and simple sugars?
Multiple sugars, also known as complex carbohydrates, are made up of long chains of simple sugars, such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. These long chains take longer for the body to break down and provide a more sustained release of energy. On the other hand, simple sugars, also known as monosaccharides and disaccharides, are made up of one or two sugar molecules and are quickly digested, leading to a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. Examples of simple sugars include table sugar, honey, and fruit.

How can reducing and non-reducing sugars be detected?
Reducing sugars can be detected using Benedict's test, in which the reducing sugar is heated with Benedict's reagent and a color change from blue to green, yellow, orange, or red indicates the presence of reducing sugars. Non-reducing sugars can be detected by first hydrolyzing them into reducing sugars using acid hydrolysis, and then performing the Benedict's test to detect the presence of reducing sugars. Another method to detect reducing and non-reducing sugars is through chromatography, where the sugars are separated based on their interactions with a stationary phase and a mobile phase, and then visualized using specific detection methods.
-
How quickly do simple sugars or fructose enter the bloodstream?
Simple sugars, such as glucose and fructose, enter the bloodstream relatively quickly after consumption. When we consume foods or drinks containing these sugars, they are rapidly broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to a quick increase in blood sugar levels. This rapid absorption can cause a spike in energy followed by a crash, and can also contribute to health issues such as insulin resistance and diabetes if consumed in excess. It's important to consume simple sugars in moderation and to pair them with fiber, protein, and healthy fats to help slow down their absorption and minimize their negative effects on blood sugar levels.
