Q. Where does corn oil come from? When we eat corn there's not any oil in it ?

Ans. Yes, this is right. With some grains and nuts it is very easy to see where the oil comes from. For example, if we squeeze a sesame seed or a sunflower seed between two sheets of paper, we can see the oil. Corn isn't quite that oily, but it does contain oil. A kernel of corn has an outer husk surrounding a white or yellow starchy substance. At the core of the starchy substance and toward the pointy end of the kernel is the germ. The germ contains a small amount of oil. If we cut a popcorn kernel in half, we can see the husk, starch and germ. If we cut out the tiny piece of germ and squeeze the germ on a piece of paper, we will see the oil!

Q. Is Sesame a medicinal herb for longevity ?

Ans. In ancient Greece, Hippocratic, known as the "Father of Doctors" had also said before, "Sesame is a food that can improve mankind's energy and vitality."

Sesame can maintain the "softness" and "youth" of blood vessels. Sesame also contains very good vitamin E and fatty acids, which can enable good blood circulation. It also contains amino-fats which is needed by the neural impulses transmission substance that is closely related to memory power. Besides, it also contains calcium that is highly effective for calming nerves, to contain anxiety and symptoms of mental distress.

Vitamin E has been called the vitamin to reverse old age and regain youth. If it is absorbed continuously in daily food consumption, there will be less white hair, the skin will also be smooth, and of course, the brain cells will be able to function alertly. Hence, even if you are getting on with age and have become an old person, you will definitely not decline with old age, but be forever a healthy and youthful aged.
