Are Pineapples Good?

That shit is so polluted, you’re better off not breathing it. Some studies have shown it to be catabolic

If you’re going to get any oxygen, just drink super-purified, oxygenated, osmosified water.

harmful gases like dihydrogenmonoxide comprise a lot of what we call air. the current oxidizing atmosphere is too harmful for life as we know it.

Just don’t eat the core. It’s highly acidic and can cause oral burns. Otherwise, the rest of the Pineapple is awesome![/quote]

Say oral burns again. Thank you.

weird. maybe i’ll try that after i grill some apple slices.

“Oral Burns”. hehe

Did I ever share with you guys my nekkid pinepple photo? Meet my pineapple friend.

To cut down the acidity of a fresh pineapple, I trim it, slice out the core, and throw everything, including the core, into a large pitcher, including juices that drip out onto the cutting board. Then I add water to cover, 1/2 to 1 cup or so of splenda and refrigerate overnight. Then, leaving the “juice” (actually flavored water- I don’t like to drink juice) and the cores in the pitcher, I remove the pineapple spears, and slice them for eating/cooking.

The juice, you can throw some into a blender with some banana protein powder (or vanilla pp with a banana), some coconut milk, ice and blend into a shake. Or with vanilla protein powder, ice and some pitted cherries. Or whatever. You can also drink the juice the way it is, yummy. Or make a concentrate of black tea, from 1 cup boiling water and several tea bags, then add to the juice, maybe a few mint leaves…the most awesome iced tea.

Now that pic demonstrates the kind of coconut treatment I can get behind.

Oh, it was! Sweet too! Mmmm…

I’ve eaten two cans of pinepple in juice post workout for years. Of course as mentioned, the Bromelain, which is a proteolytic enzyme, henc the reason why it was/is popular to stick some pineapple on your tough old gammon to make it go down easier.

I would add to that, Bromelain is a anti-inflammatory agent. Its used reason is helpful in instances of pain and swelling in some cultures.

Also, topically applied bromelain is a frostbite treatment. Then its used as a sort of alternative to pseudoephedrine also.

I’m not that interested or have any knowledge of medicine but this looks interesting…
