There is a wonderful universe of whole grains out there. You may have tried quinoa, but what about kaniwa or fonio? Even wild rice (which is not actually even rice) may not sound as wild as the grain called freekeh. Have fun and try some amaranth, millet, sorghum, or teff or expand the amber waves of your horizon. If you have a choice, pick red quinoa over white quinoa, blue corn over yellow, and yellow corn over white. Pigmented rice--red, purple, or black--has benefits over brown. Whole-wheat pasta cooks in about 10 minutes. My favorite brand is Bionaturae because of its deliciously nutty taste. [2015] - Michael Greger

Aspirin may lower the risk of cancer. Its active ingredient, salicylic acid, is widely found in many of the fruits and vegetables in the plant kingdom. Herbs and spices contain the highest concentrations. Chili powder, paprika, and turmeric are rich in the compound, but cumin has the most per serving. Indeed, just one teaspoon of ground cumin may be about the equivalent of a baby aspirin. This may help explain why India, with its spice-rich diets, has among the lowest worldwide rates of colorectal cancer--the cancer that appears most sensitive to the effects of aspirin. And the spicier, the better! [2015] - Michael Greger

If you are trading commodities, there are a few more things you must know, such as contract month expiration. [2004] - Bill Williams
