The Daily Tail

“The nutrient requirements of canine athletes are unique. Dogs have a greater capacity for fat oxidation than humans both at rest and during exercise. In dogs undertaking endurance exercise, such as sled dogs, high fat (>50% of energy) diets increase stamina and maximize energy production…”

– Richard C. Hill

Chinese myth tells of rice being a gift from an animal rather than a god. And no other animal than a dog! Could this be the secret to why GOD reads backwards like a DOG? China had been visited by serve period of floods. When the land finally drained, people came down from the hills where they had taken refuge, only to discover that all the plants had been destroyed and there was nothing left to eat. They survived through hunting, but it was very difficult, because also animals were scarce. Then one day the people saw a dog coming across a field, and hanging on the dog’s tail were bunches of long, yellow seeds. The people planted these seeds and rice grew and hunger disappeared.

19th-century British chemists sold carob to singers, as chewing on these pods was said to help maintain healthy vocal cords and soothe and cleanse the throat.
