Cute Monkeys like our Dairy-Free Ice Cream
Over at the Chow Vegan blog it is clear that the monkey likes vanilla. "It’s smooth, creamy and rich-tasting. You get the full flavor of the vanilla, without a strong coconut taste like you do with coconut-based ice cream. But it does have a hint of cashew. Probably because it’s made of raw cashews, coconut cream and agave nectar."
Like fat? Now you can eat Saturated Fats (moderately) and not Worry
Data from almost 350,000 subjects obtained from 21 studies indicated that dietary intakes of saturated fat are not associated with increases in the risk of either coronary heart disease (CHD) or cardiovascular disease (CVD), US researchers report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
“Our meta-analysis showed that there is insufficient evidence from prospective epidemiologic studies to conclude that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD (coronary heart disease), stroke, or CVD (cardiovascular disease),” wrote the researchers, led by Dr Ronald Krauss from the Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute in California.
Fats from animal and vegetable sources provide a concentrated source of energy in your diet, and they provide the building blocks for cell membranes and a variety of hormones and hormone-like substances.
When you eat fats as part of your meal, they slow down absorption so that you can go longer without feeling hungry. In addition, they act as carriers for important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
Dietary fats are also needed for the conversion of carotene to vitamin A, for mineral absorption, and for a host of other biological processes.
Saturated fats are also:
-- The preferred fuel for your heart, and also used as a source of fuel during energy expenditure
-- Useful antiviral agents (caprylic acid)
-- Effective as an anticaries, antiplaque and anti fungal agents (lauric acid)
-- Useful to actually lower cholesterol levels (palmitic and stearic acids)
-- Modulators of genetic regulation and prevent cancer (butyric acid)

Growing our business one pint & one store at a time
We're in Que SeRaw SeRaw, a small raw foods take-out shop in Burlingame and two other locations. But their retail deli and kitchen is right here:
1160 Capuchino Avenue
Burlingame, CA 94010
Que seRaw seRaw has been serving the Peninsula community over 8 years offering healthy fast food to go, ready to eat in pre-packaged containers.
While it is great for our products to be in large grocers such as Whole Foods, we are extra-pleased to connect with other small businesses. I guess it is natural for small companies to like other small companies.
