Strange Toothpaste Ingredients

It wasn't until 1873 when toothpaste - now packaged in a jar - was mass-produced. The modern toothpaste tube was invented in 1892 by Dr. Washington Sheffield of Connecticut and was first used in his product called "Dr. Sheffield's Crème Dentifrice." He got the idea after his son traveled to Paris and saw painters using paint from tubes.

By the 1900s, toothpastes made of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda emerged but tooth powders continued to be used until World War I. Strangely, charcoal remained a popular teeth cleaning ingredient.

Ingredients

Fluoride was first added to toothpaste in 1914 but it was criticized by the American Dental Association (ADA) in 1937. In the 1950s, ADA changed its position and granted its seal of approval to fluoride toothpastes. The first brand to receive this honor was Procter & Gamble's Crest toothpaste in 1955.

"Toothpaste comes in a variety of colorings, and flavors. The more usual flavorings are some variation on mint (spearmint, peppermint, regular mint, etc). Other more exotic flavors include: anise, apricot, bubblegum, cinnamon, fennel, neem, ginger, vanilla, lemon, orange and pine. More unusual are flavors include peanut butter, iced tea, and even whisky. Unflavored toothpaste does exist; however, most are flavored and sweetened. Because sugar promotes the growth of bacteria that cause tooth decay, artificial sweeteners are generally used instead," said the editors of Wikipedia.

Bourbon and scotch whiskey flavored toothpastes appeared in Ohio in 1954 and contained real alcohol. They were invented by Don Poynter who had to take out a ,000 bank loan to manufacture these products. Although the loan almost cost him his life, Poynter became famous and his novelty product became a best seller.

Other varieties manufactured by Neiman-Marcus in Dallas, Texas include champagne, Chablis, burgundy, Irish crème and peppermint schnapps flavored toothpastes.

For chocolate lovers, Regione Piemonte of Italy has a Hazelnut Chocolate Toothpaste that comes with a toothbrush and eight chocolates. While the idea of brushing with chocolate sounds appetizing, I doubt if it will help prevent cavities.

Promising to "put some flavor in your life", Breath Palette of Japan has these exotic flavors: tropical pineapple, green tea, monkey banana, honey, kiwi fruit, cafe au lait, plum, vanilla, Indo curry, strawberry, California orange, white peach, Darjeeling tea, lemon tea, bitter chocolate, blueberry, caramel, L'Espresso, grapefruit, pumpkin pudding, cola, fresh yogurt, lavender, sweet salt, Fuji apple, Kyoto style tea, Japanese plum and grape. As you can see, today's toothpastes aren't as bad-tasting as the ones our forefathers relied on.

Although modern toothpastes are generally safe, they are not intended to be swallowed. Fluoride is toxic in large doses and excessive amounts can cause fluorosis in children which is characterized by black and brown stains as well as cracking of the teeth. This usually occurs between the ages of three months to eight years.

"This is why young children should not use fluoride toothpaste except under close supervision. There are several non-fluoride toothpaste options available in the market for those who choose not to use fluoride. Natural toothpaste can contain peppermint oil, myrrh, plant extract (strawberry extract), special oils and cleansing agents," said the editors of Wikipedia.

Homemade Chocolate

It is easy to make impressive and delicious homemade chocolates for family and friends at Easter or anytime. You can purchase Easter chocolate molds at most specialty or discount stores and a wide variety of chocolate at your local supermarket. With a bit of time and patience you will soon be turning out gorgeous homemade chocolates.

Types of Chocolate

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Dark chocolate contains cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, sugar and vanilla. It is stronger and richer than milk or white chocolate and is usually the preferred choice for cooking.

Milk chocolate contains the same ingredients as dark chocolate but has added milk solids. It is sweeter, creamier, softer in texture and less intense than dark chocolate.

White chocolate doesn't contain cocoa solids, only cocoa butter blended with sugar, milk solids and flavourings, such as vanilla. It is rich, creamy and sweeter than milk chocolate.

Eating chocolate - dark, milk and white - can be used for cooking. Dark varieties include bitter, semi-sweet and sweet. Bitter chocolate has up to 80% cocoa liquor and butter with a minimal amount of sugar. Sweet chocolate has a higher proportion of sugar and vanilla to cocoa butter.

Good-quality cooking chocolate can be found in the baking aisle of supermarkets. It is similar in taste to eating chocolate, but a small amount of cocoa butter has been replaced with vegetable fat to make it easier to melt, able to set without tempering. Cheaper than normal eating chocolate.

Compound chocolate is sold in blocks or buttons and can be found in the baking aisle of supermarkets. The cocoa butter has been replaced with vegetable fat or oil, making it easier to melt and to set at room temperature without tempering. It lacks the flavour and texture of other chocolates, but is perfect for kids' cooking.

Melting Chocolate

Chocolate can be melted in several different ways including on the stove, in the microwave or in the oven.

Stove Top - put chocolate in a clean, dry, heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure no water or steam enters the bowl of chocolate, or it the chocolate could seize. Stir constantly over medium to low heat until the chocolate has melted.

Microwave - put chocolate in a clean, dry, microwave-safe bowl. Cook for 1 minute on medium/high then stir. Cook for another 30 seconds then stir again, continue until chocolate has all melted.

Stove - preheat oven to 160 C. Put chocolate in a clean, dry, heatproof bowl. Turn oven off then place the bowl in the oven for 10 minutes minutes. Remove and stir, then place back in oven if required for several minutes, remove and stir again.

Tips for Melting Chocolate

* Break chocolate into even sizes pieces before melting.

* Use a metal spoon to stir chocolate; wooden and plastic spoons retain moisture that can cause the chocolate to seize.

* Always use a metal, glass or ceramic bowl to melt chocolate.

Making Homemade Chocolates

1. Melt your chocolate, (see above), then stir thoroughly to remove all lumps.

2. Pour melted chocolate into the moulds until they are filled to the top.

3. Tap the moulds with your fingertips to remove air bubbles from chocolate.

4. Let chocolates set, until hard.

5. After your chocolates have completely set and hardened, carefully pop them out of the mold.

6. Use a butter knife to trim off any excess chocolate around the edges.

Tips for using Chocolate Moulds

* Never wash your chocolate molds with soapy water. The soapy water will remove the shine of the mold, making it difficult to get the chocolate off. Just wash in hot water.

* Always dry your molds carefully after washing. Water spots can also cause spots where the chocolate won't release easily from the mould.

* If your molds are sticking, very lightly coat them with a thin layer of vegetable oil.

* If you make a mistake, or if extra chocolate dribbles in the wrong places - don't touch it while it's still wet. Place the chocolates in the fridge or freezer to harden, then you can easily just pick off the parts you don't want there.

How to Store Chocolate

Chocolate should be wrapped in alfoil and placed in an airtight container. Store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store in the refrigerator.

Unopened chocolate has a shelf life of 12 months and opened chocolate, properly wrapped and stored has a shelf life of 3 months. (However it would never last this long at my house!)

Chocolate Terms

Seize - Chocolate will seize up when small amounts of liquid mix with it, it becomes a thick grainy mass that cannot be remelted or used.

Chocolate Bloom - White spots that appear on chocolate, caused by the chocolate being heated and cooled too quickly. This can also occur when chocolate is refrigerated, it does not affect the quality and can still be eaten.

Tempering - A technique used to stabilize chocolate with a high cocoa butter content through a melting and cooling process so the chocolate will set firm and shiny at room temperature.

Chocolate Bread Recipes - Chocolate Buns

There are not too many easy, chocolate bread recipes made in the traditional way with yeast and not with baking powder. If you have an electric mixer with a dough hook, you will have no problems with this recipe.

Ingredients for this chocolate recipe:
1/4 Teaspoonful of salt 2 Envelopes of instant yeast 1/4 Teaspoonful of extract cinnamon 1/2 Cup of Cocoa 4 Cups of flour 1/3 Cup of sugar 2 Tablespoonfuls of butter 1 Egg 1 Cup of very hot milk 1/2 Cup of warm water (or as much as is needed to get a dough that can be handled easily) 1 Cup of currents
Method for this chocolate recipe:
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl Melt the butter. Beat the egg. Mix the butter, egg, milk and water to form a soft dough that can be easily handled. Knead the dough for about 1 minute. Turn onto molding board, roll into a square about an inch in thickness and sprinkle on one-half cup of the currants. Fold the sides to meet the center and then the bottom and top ends to center. Fold as at first, using another one-half cup currants. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and leave in a hot place to rise until it has doubled in size. Knock the dough down. Shape the dough into the required shape for your buns, place them on a greased baking tray, cover and let them rise again until doubled in size. Pre-heat the oven to 350oF Bake fifteen to twenty minutes. As you take them from oven, brush the tops of your buns with the white of one egg beaten with one-half cup confectioners' sugar. Let them stand five minutes. Now they are ready to serve.
If you want chocolate bread and not buns, you can bake it in a bread pan but you will have to lower the heat to about 325oF after 15 minutes and you will have to bake it for about 1 hour.

Ingredients For Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you feel uncomfortable about the raw egg white, mix the confectioner's sugar with a very small amount of water and use as directed. For the typical rum and raisins flavor you can also add 2 table spoons of rum or 1 teaspoons of rum flavoring. These buns are best served fresh from the oven and they make an ideal treat for a weekend brunch.

Beautiful Baby Contest - Ingredients For a Good Baby Photo

A baby photo can grab attention very easily - it is cute, innocent, sweet and straight from the heart. A baby contest is where cute babies are chosen for prizes typically from photographs that are sent in. A baby photo is very difficult to capture as a baby is apt to keep moving and changing positions, expressions and so on. To enter a beautiful baby contest, a baby photo has to be unique, exclusive plus beautiful. It is important to capture the baby in a natural pose and in sharp focus so that the baby photo looks good. 

For a baby contest the image to be captured should satisfy certain criteria to emerge as a winner. It is not enough if the subject, in this case, the baby is beautiful - the baby photo should capture and enhance that beauty for every one to see. In a beautiful baby contest it should be remembered that hundreds of cute baby pictures will be vying for the prizes. So a baby photo should have some unique traits if it has to stand out in a crowd. What are these traits? How do we ensure that these traits show up in the baby photo we capture?

Ingredients

The baby's eyes are really large and clear. It is common knowledge that the only body parts that do not grow after birth are the eyes. Given that, naturally the baby's eyes are disproportionately large when compared to the rest of its face. They show innocence and wonder. When they fill with tears or when they smile the expression is there in total.

When the baby eyes are captured in all their beauty half the baby contest is won. It is critical to avoid "red eyes" when pictures are being taken. Cameras have the red eye reduction option that should be used. Usually when there is artificial light being used red eye comes. So it will be a good idea to capture baby photo for baby contests in natural light - outdoors or near doors/ windows where plenty of natural light flows in. It should be kept in mind that babies are constantly moving and changing subjects. An expression or action that was there an instant back may never appear again. So a camera should always be at hand and the photographer has to be alert to capture any unique expressions.

The person taking a baby photo needs to be very patient. Some times they may have to wait for days on end to get just that right picture. Of course some effort has to be taken if the baby picture has to make an impression in the beautiful baby contest! As babies are moving and shaking their arms and legs all the time, motion blur can appear causing the whole picture effect to be spoiled. To reduce this problem, a high iso speed along with a large aperture can be used. It also helps to shoot a number of pictures in quick succession to ensure that the best can be chosen. Now coming to the other important aspect in a baby picture - the background we see that it has to be simple to have a telling effect. A simple plain background will focus the viewer's complete attention on the subject - in this case the baby. A cluttered back ground with lots of toys or flowers or a very colourful background will take away the focus from the baby. So when taking a baby photo, zooming in on the baby is crucial. This means most of the photo will show the baby leaving very little or no space for the background to show up in the picture. Even if a background has to be there it can be a plain wall or a light, single coloured cloth which will serve to keep the attention of the beholder on the baby and only the baby. In a beautiful baby contest after all, it is obviously the baby who has to be projected! 

The amount of spare space in the photo should be kept to a minimum because the greater the spare space greater the distraction from the subject. The proportion of the space between the baby and the background should be minimum - to keep the subject from "floating" and always keeping the baby and the play of expressions in sharp focus.

Beautiful Baby Contest - Ingredients For a Good Baby Photo

Baby Photo Contests are a fantastic way to get your baby noticed, to add to their college fund, and to have a lot of fun along the way. For one of the simplest contest to enter (with a great prize of 00 every month) enter your baby's photo at the Great American Photo Contest [http://babycontests.blogspot.com/]. You can submit multiple photo's, and the cutest one wins each month.

Since sperm volume and motility are important factors for inducing pregnancy, this can well solve many fertility problems for men. For enhancing overall sexual health, Semenax is gradually getting the trust and confidence of many customers. What is the most critical component which differentiates Semenax ingredients from the ingredients of other male enhancement pills? Semenax ingredients contain amino acids or protein building blocks along with select herbs which have been tried and tested for centuries in many countries. Manufactured under cGMP conditions, the many ingredients in Semenax are as follows:

Ingredients

* Catuaba Bark - Brazilians have been using this herb for centuries for adding power to libido. Ingestion of this legendary herb can benefit the entire male reproductive system, over and above improving his overall sex life.

* Maca: This is a well known South American herb which is a proven therapy for decrease in libido, impotency and lack of sexual energy. This is a very popular herb and you can find its inclusion in many male enhancement products.

This ingredient enhances hormone production as well as has a positive impact on the prostate health.

* Zinc Oxide: This is a catalyst for testosterone synthesis which enables an increase of sperm motility by 80 top 200%. You will find this ingredient in many male enhancement prescription products.

While the makers of Semenax might have tried their best to put together the right ingredients, which are backed by individual stellar track records in improving sperm volume, enhance libido and improve sex life of the user, the question still remains whether the product would suit your individual need. In such matters it is better to play safe rather than be sorry later.

The men who buy Semenax know first-hand the kind of quality and betterment an ejaculation enhancer can bring to a man's life. But you don't have to trust their Semenax reviews... try it for yourself and explore a height of sexual virility you've never thought possible!

5. Package your personalized, unique stamped chocolates in a box. Add a little colored tissue paper if you like. Be sure to clean your clear rubber stamps with soapy water as you don't want any traces of chocolate or oil left especially if you plan on converting your clear stamps over for use on paper crafts.

The Best Natural Skin Care Ingredients

In this day and age a company saying their product is "natural" or "all natural" increases sales. It's like the word "organic." It's bandied about all of the time now, with wide degrees of truth and meaning.

Of course, natural skin care ingredients are best, but you have to be careful and do your research so you know what you're really buying.

Ingredients

Let's talk about this concept of an "all natural skin care line." I hate to be the one to break the news to you but there is no such a thing as every ingredient being completely natural in any skin care product if by natural you mean no processing takes place in any way.

This is an argument only for the purists. You can have a natural processing of the ingredients, which actually enhances their effectiveness, but some people claim that if there is any processing at all, then it's no longer completely natural.

But this isn't what you need to be worried about. What you need to avoid are the products (most of them) which have dangerous chemicals. Chemicals like parabens, which are suspected to cause cancer and disrupt estrogen levels in the body. If you're looking for natural skin care ingredients, then avoid products that smell nice as well.

Does this sounds odd? Well those fragrances are chemicals that aren't good for you skin, and, in fact, are responsible for a great many allergic reactions.

So even though there be no such thing as an all natural skin care line because of processing, there are powerful natural ingredients you may want to look for.

I now use many of these myself after research.

One of the newest and most interesting ones is called Cynergy TK from New Zealand. It's rich in functional keratin. Keratin is a natural skin protein that plays an important structural role. The functional part means it can be readily-absorbed by the skin once applied. This functional part was developed by a company in New Zealand.

When it comes to natural skin care ingredients, Cynergy TK has shown amazing properties on human volunteers in clinical studies.

Results like: increased production of collagen and elastin (two vital skin proteins responsible for keeping your skin supple, youthful, moist); new production of skin cells; and increases in skin elasticity.

Cynergy TK also has strong antioxidant properties. Free radical damage on skin cells is a chief reason for skin's aging over time and these antioxidants can neutralize the free radicals before they harm your skin's health and appearance.

Another of the best natural skin care ingredients is phytessence wakame, which is a sea kelp native to Japan. It is prized for its health giving properties and especially its benefits for skin. Extracts of it are now used in elite skin care products available on the Internet.

Visit my site to learn about more amazing natural skin care substances you have probably never heard of.

Making Chocolate Using Molds

These days, you don't have to go to the grocery to buy chocolate. Just like cookies, these can be home made as long as you have the ingredients and the materials. They most important to make chocolate are the molds.

Molds are usually made of plastic and these can be purchased from craft stores. Most of these cost about a dollar up so if you want to make these in different shapes and sizes, you have to buy a bunch.

Ingredients For Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now that you have your mold, you should also buy the raw chocolate which is also available from the craft store. This is available in different flavors and colors so you can mix them up later on.

There are two ways to melt chocolate. The first is to cut the chocolate block into small pieces and then put this in a microwave safe bowl before sticking it in the oven. Since it is quite hard to see if all the chocolate has finally melted, we now come to the second option which is to melt it using a double boiler.

A double boiler consists of two pans. The first one has water while a smaller one is placed on top which is where the chocolate will be placed. You then stir the chocolate until melts. Once everything is now in liquid form, you then get your mold and pour the chocolate.

You should tap the bottom to take out air bubbles out of the chocolate otherwise there will be holes later on when they come out of the freezer. If you decide to put in candy sprinkles or marshmallows with your chocolate, it is best to pour them into the boiler.

After ten minutes or so, the chocolate mold inside the freezer is ready to be taken out. A good indicator is to check the bottom of the mold and see if the chocolate is still holding on to the mold.

If it is ready, then it is time to flip it over and tap it gently so it can land on a soft surface like a napkin to prevent it from breaking. Another method is to carefully pour water on the mold. But if it is not, then you should put the mold back into the freezer.

The nice thing about working with chocolate is that if is should crack or break, you can recycle it which prevents wastage. If you make a mistake when you are painting it, don't touch it and wait until it freezes so it is easy to remove and you can start over.

When it is ready, you can serve this as part of your dessert but if you are giving this away as a gift, make sure you find a nice box because it should look presentable to whoever will be receiving it.

Surely the molds you used to make chocolate will be used in the future. To maintain it, you must never wash this with soap as this removes its slickness. You should also carefully dry it after washing because it could cause spots to appear making it also difficult for the chocolate to be released from the mold.

But if your chocolate mold is sticky, perhaps you should coat it first lightly with some vegetable oil before you pour in the melted chocolate.

Making chocolate using molds is fun. You may not get it perfect the first time but as time goes by, you are sure to get better at it.

Ingredients of Creatine Supplements

There are so many different bodybuilding supplements on the market that making a decision on which one to buy can be very difficult. One of the most popular is creatine supplements. However, you should not buy creatine supplements or any other bodybuilding supplements without first reading and understanding the ingredients used. The reason why is that the ingredients in these supplements are going into your body and some of them may not be things that you would want to take if you knew what they were.

Creatine exists in the human body naturally and it is also an ingredient in creatine supplements. This element may also be found in red meat and even tuna, not to mention some other foods. But, to get the creatine you need to build muscles you need to take a concentrated supplement form rather than eat more creatine containing foods. When you take creatine supplements, however, you need to be very cautious as to what the ingredients are. The more expensive and reputable brands will sell pure creatine supplements that are significantly safer than the cheaper brands that sell synthetic creatine with other additives, impurities, and chemicals. It is incredibly important to read the ingredients on the bottle of the creatine supplement you are considering buying. If the label reads pure creatine then more than likely you will receive the effects of creatine when you take the supplement. On the other hand if the list of ingredients has many different things listed, the word synthetic, or anything that you don't think should be in the ingredient list then it is better to buy a different brand.

Ingredients

There are so many different bodybuilding supplements on the market that are wonderful and do the job they claim to do. But, then there are just as many rip off and generic versions that do not use the highest quality of ingredients, include many additives, and may even include impurities or an ingredient that could harm the individual taking these bodybuilding supplements. So, before you start looking for supplements to take make sure you do the research, find out about specific brands that are recommended, and then buy what you have found works well for others as well. You will feel more comfortable knowing that you are taking a supplement that is safe and has been tried by many friends before.

Easy Chocolate Dessert Recipe

Chocolate is one of the oldest processed foods enjoyed over the past millennium. It came from the tropical tree called cocoa. This tree is native to South America, Central America and Mexico. The seeds of the cocoa tree are dried and fermented and finally grounded and liquefied. As a result of these processes, pure unsweetened chocolate is formed.

There are different kinds of chocolate. Each is classified according to its composition and color. Milk chocolate is the combination of sugar, cocoa butter and milk. It is considered not a true chocolate because of the absence of cocoa solids formed from the processes involved in production of pure chocolate. White chocolate can be consumed by animals. The addition of sugar and fats makes up the third kind of chocolate. Dark chocolate has high cocoa content and is believed to have health benefits by reducing the occurrence of heart attack. One example of dark chocolate is semisweet chocolate which is used in cooking recipes. Sometimes vanilla is added for a more pleasing aroma.

Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

There's nothing better than eating a pile of chocolate chip cookies while drinking a tall glass of ice cold milk. Whether you are a kid or an adult, this time- tested recipe should bring a smile to your face and perhaps make you emit a contented sigh. Oh yes, we all know how to eat those little pieces of heaven, but how exactly do you make them?

Here are some tips to help you:

Ingredients For Chocolate Chip Cookies

1) Use the freshest ingredients - This will definitely help you make sure that your cookies are of the premium grade. Remember that old computer principle "Garbage in, Garbage Out"? Well, that works with cookies, too. Despite how well you bake an item, if it's made of crappy ingredients, it won't turn out well.

2) Experiment - Although you might think that your grandma's recipe is the best, you should definitely try to create your own variation of the cookie recipe. The most basic thing you can do is to change the amount of chocolate you put in. Remember that this affects not only the taste, but the texture of the cookie as well. Nestlé's research once showed that people felt that the ideal cookie had to have sic to ten chocolate chips. Only a few people actually wanted more.

Another thing you can do is play around with different types of chocolate. Sure, it would be most convenient for you to use those pre-packaged chocolate chips, but in order to come up with the perfect cookie recipe, you have to live a little and do some hard work. Try chopping up a chocolate bar into chunks. You could also try to use candy-covered chocolate like M&M's to top your cookies.

You should also experiment with other ingredients. Changing around the quantity of shortening, the butter and the shortening can affect the texture of the cookie. You should know that people have different tastes when it comes to the cookie's texture. There are those who like it moist and soft while other like it dry and hard, providing great contrast with the milk and chocolate.

3) Storage - Chocolate has an unbelievably long shelf life. Milk chocolate can actually be stored for about six months, while dark chocolate can be stored for as long as a year. If you intend to store chocolate for your baking needs, you need to make sure that you follow the right procedure.

Store them in sealed containers so as to prevent moisture from seeping through and develop the whitish film called "bloom" on the surface. Although this film is harmless, it can be quite unattractive. You also shouldn't expose your chocolate to hot temperatures. Although freezing is okay if you plan to bake with it, you shouldn't expose it to temperatures above 78 degrees as this may cause it to melt.

You might think that there's vary little difference between melted and solid chocolate if used for baking especially since you can just freeze it and it will turn solid again. However, you should realize that melting actually causes the cocoa butter to separate and your chocolate will lose some of its creaminess.

4) To nut or not to nut - Nuts can be quite controversial in baking a cookie. There are people who swear that nuts make all the difference in their baking while there are those who just hate it. Actually, most Americans prefer their cookies without nuts. This is primarily because of the texture.

If you want the nutty flavor without the texture, you should try grinding some nuts into the mixture instead of adding whole or chopped ones.

5) Burn, baby, burn - A burnt cookie is an inedible cookie. Although the best way to avoid burning your cookies is to maintain constant vigilance, there are a few other steps you should try out. First you should make use of a shiny baking pan. This will help prevent burning. You should also know that when you make use of thin pans, the cookies are likely to burn.

Another thing you should do is make use of only the top and middle racks of the oven. This will help you make sure that the chocolate chip cookies burn evenly and that none are exposed to too high temperatures.
