Topic: Do you eat many chickpeas?

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #1,217

I eat enormous amounts of chickpeas daily. Recent studies show that chickpeas are incredibly healthy, and also they prevent colon cancer, and can actually reverse it! Do you eat chickpeas daily?

Never had a chickpea before. How do chickpeas taste?

Have you had hummus? That is the flavor.

Mild, buttery, but also can have garlic and spices added. Delicious!

I like hummus. I have had chickpeas before but do not eat them with any sense of regularity. Must they be whole chickpeas or does hummus count?

Controversy
In October 2008 the Association of Lebanese Industrialists petitioned to the Lebanese ministry of Economy to request protected status from the European Commission for hummus as a uniquely Lebanese food, similar to the Protected Geographical Status rights held over regional food items by various European Union countries. Fadi Abboud (president of the Lebanese Industrialists Association), stated that "Israelis have usurped several Lebanese and oriental products". According to Abboud, Lebanon exported the first hummus dish in 1959. As a response, food critic Janna Gur wrote: "The success of certain brands of Israeli hummus abroad may have been what brought about Abboud's anger", leading him to claim that Israel has been "stealing" their country's national dishes, like hummus, falafel, tabbouleh and baba ghanouj. In response, Shooky Galili, an Israeli journalist specialising in food who writes a blog dedicated to hummus, said that "trying to make a copyright claim over hummus is like claiming for the rights to bread or wine. Hummus is a centuries old Arab dish—nobody owns it, it belongs to the region." As of late 2009, the Lebanese Industrialists Association was still "preparing documents and proof" to support its claim.

Not at all, any more.

You are risking colon cancer.

I don't care.
You're risking cancer just by breathing oxygen.

That is not true. Oxygen is good for you.

To the extent that it keeps you alive.
It also hardens your arteries.
People who die of "old age" have died from oxygenation.

Then why not enjoy chickpeas, which are a powerful antioxidant?

That won't prevent you from oxidizing.
I don't know. I just never end up eating chickpeas any more.

Antioxidants do protect you from oxidation, though. I plan to live until about 200, because I eat unusually high amounts of powerful antioxidants.

@previous (A)
onvm you were right on that point.
That won't help you live until 200, though.
Think about how much pollution you breathe in. That's gotta shorten your life span.
Also, there have to have been people who have lived on a diet of wihch a large portion consisted of chickpeas.
Have yet to hear of anyone who lived until 200, though.
