    Heart-Healthy Benefits: lowers levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) Increases levels of HDL (good cholesterol) Lowers levels of triglycerides (unhealthy fats) Active Ingredient: Mevinolin. Restricts the livers production of cholesterol. Also, Mevinolin is chemically identical to the cholesterol-lowering compound lovastatin, which is sold as the prescription drug Mevacor.

    French Food Pyramid It is very similar to the American Food Pyramid Middle-Eastern Diet By Katy W.

    Slide 24:Primary Religions in the Middle-East

    While looking into the Middle-Eastern diet, I decided to explore the effect of religion on diet. In some religions there are dietary laws prohibiting certain foods. In Jewish and Muslim dietary laws, the main restriction is pork. Since the majority of the Middle-Eastern population consists of Muslims and Jews, my main focus became this question: what are the benefits and disadvantages of a diet without pork?

    Spices The Middle-East consists of mainly third world countries. Because of this lack of wealth, many people cannot afford to buy food in large quantities as Americans do so often. In order to make their food last longer, they use methods of food preservation, including smoking, salting, spicing, and candying. These methods not only help prevent the food from spoiling, but cover up the rancid taste when it does. This prevents enzyme reactions and microbial growth by the addition of certain chemicals.
