In 1727 a Brazilian official named Francisco de Melho Palheta was invited to mediate a heated border dispute between French and Dutch Guiana. Both governments were actively growing coffee in Guiana and closely guarded their financial interests by not allowing the exportation of viable coffee seeds.Palheta quickly accepted the invitation with hopes of somehow obtaining some seeds for planting coffee in Brazil.

Upon his departure, after successfully mediating a solution to the border issue, the Governors wife presented him with a bouquet of flowers in which she had disguised several coffee seedlings.The Brazilians quickly learned the rudiments of growing coffee with emphasis on quantity over quality, which is still the prevalent philosophy when it...

Fight Cancer With Broccoli Sprouts
By Jeannie Crabtree
Mom was right to insist on us eating our vegetables. She knew they built health and gave us the minerals we need.
Take Broccoli sprouts. Broccoli sprouts are rich in a compound that provides significant protection against breast cancer and colon cancer. The compound is called sulforaphane glucosinalate.
Sprouts grown from certain types of broccoli seeds contain up to 50 times more of this compound than mature broccoli.
I have read that a brand of sprouts developed at John Hopkins University is guaranteed to have 20 more times the SGS compound than the mature broccoli. This one is called BroccoSprouts.
