Question: Does eating wasabi (from the radish) with fish have any health benefits, like vitamins and minerals??? if you mash it up using a tool I forget the name of it,but i have the tool to use it and I just make it raw and sometimes add soy sauce. Does this have any vitamins in it???

Answer: In addition to clearing your sinuses? In addition to its flavor, wasabi has another benefit. Traditional Japanese cuisine includes raw fish, which is a potential source of parasites and bacteria. Wasabi's antiparasitic, antimicrobial, and antibiotic abilities may be preventive against food poisoning. One source points specifically to wasabi's effectiveness against the Anisakis parasite. Another study, comparing the antibacterial activity of different foods against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus bacteria, found that cruciferous plants possess antibacterial activity, with the highest activity found in wasabi (rhizome). Other studies found that wasabi may be effective against the tooth-adhering ability of the bacteria Streptococcus mutans, thus inhibiting dental plaque and decay. Of special note are the numerous studies demonstrating wasabi's effectiveness against stomach cancer cells. One study found the induction of stomach cancer in rats was suppressed when they were given wasabi. The risk of hormone-related malignancies, such as breast and prostate cancer, may also be lowered. Some researchers believe that the cruciferous vegetables help the body eliminate excess endogenous (produced from within) and exogenous (produced from without but ingested or absorbed) hormones, such as estrogen. This action may be a result of wasabi's ability to stimulate the liver and gallbladder, aiding in the digestion of fatty foods and the processing of food nutrients. Other medicinal benefits attributed to wasabi include its effectiveness against diarrhea, blood clots, inflammation, and asthma. Its pungent aroma may help relieve sinusitis and bronchitis. Although the amounts absorbed from culinary use may be negligible, wasabi reportedly also contains potassium, calcium, and vitamin C. Industrial applications of wasabi under investigation include its usefulness in the development of other antibiotics, due to its own antibiotic qualities; its effectiveness as a fungicide against the blackleg fungus that threatens plants commercially valued for their oil, such as rape-seed and canola; and its possible use as an effective alternative to chemically toxic wood preservatives.

Question: if i take anti-depressants can i still get the benefits of vitamins? someone told me the anti- depressants ( paxil & zyprexa ) eliminate the vitamins. plus i take ( metformin and glipizide ) for diabetes.and i want to take a centrum mutivitamin.and i'm 50 yrs old. =)

Answer: Yes, but I always advise that you leave 1 hour between when you take a drug and when you take a supplement. If they take the same metabolic pathway, one or the other might not be metabolized (just so much available enzyme) and one won't be used. So to be on the safe side, leave 1 hour between the two.

Question: Does Soy milk have the same vitamins and benefits of Cow milk ?

Answer: There are a lot of incorrect responses here. Let me put it to you gently... There is NO nutritional benefit to drinking cow's milk. Please review the articles at Strongbones.com Many people here have mentioned calcium. While it's true that there are 350 milligrams of calcium in cow's milk, by the time it is processed only 10% of that is bioavailable. That's less calcium than you get from a handful of almonds. Since milk is rendered uselss by processing a lot of people have turned to raw milk. Which is still difficult for our bodies to make use of. We are not designed to drink any milk other than our mothers. And certainly not meant to drink it after we are 8 years old. At least whole milk counts as a protein. 1 & 2% milk is pure carcinogen. Useless toxin in the body. Speaking of protein. Someone touted the protein in milk. Again, the milk protein is the milk fat. Once the fat is removed, there is no protein. So too, milk and other animal protein has been shown to cause osteoporosis. Our bodies are forced to excrete calcium from our bones inorder to digest said animal protein. Compounded by recent findings that animal proteins - namely dairy - but meat as well - are the root cause of the multiple sclerosis epidemic in the US. Soy milk is just fine. But in order to get proper nutrition as a vegetarian or vegan, one should switch around their milks. Soy, Rice, Hemp, Grain, Almond - so much to try!

Answer: Well, in today's lifestyle, of fast foods, drinking, smoking cigarattes. taking prescription medication.... Can deplete our bodies of essential vitamins and minerals. So taking vitamins can assist when our vitamin and mineral intake is inadequate.

Question: What are the benefits of taking prenatal vitamins when you aren't pregnant? My friend said that it makes your hair and nails grow faster, and more healthy. Is that true, or is there more benefits to taking it when you aren't pregnant?

Answer: Prepare your body for pregnancy. If you wait to take them until you are pregnant, it's too late. You aren't going to have the benefits of fertilization in a healthy system. It reduces a lot of prenatal problems and deformities. It helps your reproductive system prepare to support a fetus for a healthy birth. If you are in a situation where you may become pregnant, you should take prenatal vitamins so when you do become pregnant, you'll give birth to a healthy child. If you don't want a baby, don't ever have sex. Only have sex when you would be prepared, healthwise, financially, and married, if you were to become pregnant.

Question: Do vitamins benefit me in the long run, as claimed on the bottle? Do vitamins benefit me in the long run, as claimed on the bottle? Or am I just adding to the ingredients that eventually leave my body at the end of the day. I have started taking a woman's multivitamin. Is it worth the money?

Answer: It depends on if you have a deficiency or not. Most people don't get enough of the basic vitamins and minerals that are required for daily health. That is reflected most in the high number of bone problems from those who don't absorb enough Calcium throughout the day, but there are many other examples that are very common. Many doctors are now recommending a multivitamin to at least cover the deficiencies in diet, so that helps to speak volumes as well. Yes, some of it will be excreted, but that's a good way to know that you're getting enough... the only thing that will be excreted is whatever your body can't absorb, same as what happens with the food you eat. I would assume the multi is a minimal cost per month, so it's up to you if it's worth the few dollars to make sure you get enough of the basic nutrients you need every day ;-) Good luck and I hope I helped!
