 But if it's one of those factory-made fruit cakes, with neon colored fruit, crack cocaine sugar crystals and enough preservatives to give it a shelf life through Christmas '09, then do the world a favor and find an alternate use for the thing.
And for God's sake don't leave it out for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve! The guy just got over his diabetes problem and the last thing he needs is a massive sugar jolt while making his rounds. Have you ever tried to give yourself an insulin injection while bouncing along in a sleigh pulled by a team of hoofed animals? I think not... |

 Spratt ended up becoming a long-term resident of England, and sold his Dog cakes in the United Kingdom until 1890 when a public company bought his formula and began operations in the United States. Spratt continued producing the Dog cakes in the United Kingdom and his London factory was one of the largest dog food production operations in the world.
Other U.S. firms entered the pet food market in the 1920s using various formulas for dry biscuits and kibble. After World War I, pet food manufacturers introduced canned horsemeat for dog food. |

 High-glycemic foods (such as sugary soft drinks, candy bars, rice cakes, and potatoes) trigger a sharp increase and a subsequent drop in blood-sugar levels. In contrast, low-glycemic foods (such as fresh vegetables) are absorbed slowly, resulting in more moderate increases in blood sugar.
For example, instant rice and corn flakes have extremely high rankings on the glycemic index, meaning that their effect on blood sugar is almost exactly that of pure glucose. Rice cakes, a staple for many dieters, have a glycemic index ranking of 110, which is 10 percent higher than pure glucose. |

 When baking breads, cakes, pancakes, or muffins, you can replace up to one-third of the flour with oats. A quick whirl in the food processor will render it almost as fine as white flour.
Toast oats for added flavor. Toasted oats can be added to trail mix or sprinkled on top of yogurt, frozen yogurt, or fresh fruit. In cookie dough, toasted oats make a great lower-fat replacement for a portion of the nuts. To toast oats: Add about 1/2 cup of quick or old-fashioned oats to a nonstick skillet coated lightly with canola-oil cooking spray. Spray the tops lightly, too, if desired. |

 The marquis de Sade's extravagant taste for such desserts and sweets—his chocolate pastilles, cakes, and ice creams—was an accurate harbinger of the future.
A Break with the Past: Van Houten's Inventions
1828 marks the beginning of the modern era in chocolate making and production. In that year, a Dutch chemist named Coenraad Johannes Van Houten took out a patent on a process for the manufacture of a new kind of powdered chocolate with a very low fat content. |

 Or ever eat Twinkies if you had to bake the little cakes and then squirt the filling into them and clean up?
Recently a group of Harvard economists seeking to advance an economic theory for the obesity epidemic correlated the rise in the average weight of Americans with a decline in the "time cost" of eating—cooking, cleaning up, and so on. They concluded that the widespread availability of cheap convenience foods could explain most of the twelve-pound increase in the weight of the average American since the early 1960s. |

| A list of meals provided in the late 18th century for the city magistrates of Lucca33 includes papardelle [ribbon macaroni] di cioccolata; chocolate, chocolate-and-coffee, and iced cakes; and a kind of semifreddo with chocolate. |
| Cocoa powder also reached wide use as a flavoring ingredient in many other sweet foods, such as cakes, ice-creams, and biscuits.
Of course, being Quakers, entrepreneurial families like the Frys, Cadburys, and Rowntree (another dynasty of chocolate-makers) had a social conscience in the midst of all this money-making, unlike many other Victorian captains of industry. In the Birmingham suburb of Bournville, where they had established their factory, the Cadburys created a model town with adequate housing for their workers, and even a dining room and reading room. |

| In 1772 they started advertising their product as Hannon's Best Chocolate, in the form of cakes. When Hannon was lost at sea in 1799, the business became the Baker Company; in 1820, this was taken over by James Baker's grandson Walter, and it became the Walter Baker Company; it still flourishes under that name.53
Back in France, in 1776 (four years after the final volume of the Encyclopedia appeared), a certain M. Doret invented a hydraulic machine to grind chocolate and teduce it to paste. |
| You may make the cakes by putting about ten or twelve parcels on a sheet of the same Paper, and beating it against the Table to make it run abroad. For making the Bricks, the Paper must be forced into that shape, and the Chocolate put in. It must remain in the Papers 'till it be cold and dry.5
Apart from the musk (an exotic flavoring probably introduced by the Italians), this method—which was apparently standardized in late 16th-century Mexico—became universal throughout Spain and Europe, and stayed that way until Van Houten's revolutionary discoveries in the early 19th century. |

 Sweet talk is embedded in our language—sweetie, sweetie pie, sweetheart, honey, honey pie, sugar, sugar baby, candy, sweet cakes, baby cakes, honey bun, sugar plum, and so on. The message is loud and clear: sweetness=love.
Sugar and Health
Many nutritional authorities feel that the high use of sugar in our diet is a significant underlying cause of disease. Too much sweetener in any form can have a negative effect on our health; this includes not only refined sugar, but also corn syrup, honey, fruit juices, and treats such as sodas, cakes, and candies. |

| Seafaring groups in the Hebrides consumed no dairy at all, subsisting on a diet consisting largely of seafood and oats made into porridges and cakes. The Eskimos he interviewed lived on raw fish, game meat, fish roe, and blubber, seldom eating anything remotely green. Along the Nile near Ethiopia, Price encountered what he judged to be the healthiest populations of all: tribes that subsisted on milk, meat, and blood from pastured cattle as well as animal food from the Nile River. |

 Anything manufactured that contains additives is of course suspect: biscuits, potato chips, cakes, aerated drinks, cordials and ice cream may all cause asthma. You can probably add your own triggers to this list.
Some infant milk preparations contain vegetable oil derived from peanuts, and an article in the Lancet of 29 May 1993 suggested this is possibly responsible for the increased incidence among children of an allergic sensitivity to peanuts. |
| Although refined white flour is normally used in bread, cakes, biscuits, pastries and so on, if these foods are a must for you then bake them with wholemeal flour.
Common salt (sodium chloride) attracts and retains fluid in the body. Excessive salt intake can also make you feel tired. Reduce the salt in your diet by putting garlic salt or vegetable salt on the table. Experiment with the many tasty salt alternatives now available or use a combination of spices and various herbs to add zest to your cooking. |

 Be sure to test cakes and muffins at the end of the baking time by inserting a toothpick or a cake tester in the center to see if it comes out clean. Sometimes oil-free cakes and muffins may need to bake longer than the directions advise, depending on the weather or the altitude at which you live.
Sauteing Without Oil
To saute implies the use of butter or oil, but when cooking the McDougall way, oil is eliminated. Instead, we use other liquids to provide taste without the health hazards. Surprisingly, plain water makes an excellent sauteing liquid. |

One of my favorite whole grains, oats can be the star attraction (hot oatmeal) or an ingredient (cookies, cakes, crisps). 1 like to use oat bran in combination with whole wheat and unbleached white flours for baking. That way, 1 get soluble and insoluble fiber from the two grains.

 Babe cakes ($22) is a standard cake eyeliner that is applied wet and then dries to a liquid liner-like finish, though not as intense. One pairing of brown and deep black is available, and is an OK option if you prefer this method for eyelining. © $$$ She-Laq ($28) is meant as a sealant for lipstick, eyeliner, or brow color. It's a thick, alcohol-based liquid with hairspray ingredients that should not go anywhere near the eye, as the irritation potential is just too high. |

 Aspartame is now one of the most commonly used ingredients in drinks, cakes, cookies and candies. There is no evidence at all that those who use it actually lose weight.There is some indication that it creates a sugar deficit, leading people to seek more sugar from other sources.
But leaving aside whether it has any benefits, is it safe? Do we have enough information to know? Remember that we test compounds in animals to find out how they might affect humans. |

 Snack on carbohydrates: Opt for unrefined carbohydrates, such as organic brown rice cakes with vegetarian pate, hummus, or cottage cheese when snacking, as these release sugar slowly. Additional appropriate snacks include raw vegetables or a small piece of fruit.
Avoid common triggers: Some foods have a reputation for giving a short-lived sugar "rush" followed by a sharp slump in energy levels. The most common culprits are refined, white sugar, milk or white chocolate, sweet pastries, sugary carbonated drinks, and coffee. |
