[What is Phytosterol?]

Phytosterols are compounds found in plants that resemble cholesterol. The National Institutes of Heath report that there are over 200 different phytosterols, and the highest concentrations of phytosterols are found naturally in vegetable oils, beans and nuts. Their benefits are so recognized that foods are being fortified with phytosterols. At the supermarket, you may see orange juice or margarine advertising phytosterol contents. After reviewing the health benefits, you may want to add phytosterol-rich foods to your diet.

[Benefits]

Cholesterol-Lowering Benefits

The most well-known, and scientifically proven, benefit of phytosterols is their ability to help lower cholesterol. A phytosterol is a plant compound that is similar to cholesterol. A study in the 2002 issue of “Annual Review of Nutrition” explains that phytosterols actually compete for absorption with cholesterol in the digestive tract. While they prevent the absorption of regular dietary cholesterol, they themselves are not easily absorbed, which leads to a total lower cholesterol level. The cholesterol-lowering benefit does not end with a good number on your blood work report. Having lower cholesterol leads to other benefits, such as a reduced risk for heart disease, stroke and heart attacks.

Cancer Protection Benefits

Phytosterols have also been found to help protect against the development of cancer. The July 2009 issue of the” European Journal of Clinical Nutrition” offers encouraging news in the fight against cancer. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada report that there is evidence that phytosterols help prevent ovarian, breast, stomach and lung cancer. Phytosterols do this by preventing the production of cancer cells, stopping the growth and spread of cells that are already in existence and actually encouraging the death of cancer cells. Their high anti-oxidant levels are believed to be one way phytosterols help fight cancer. An anti-oxidant is a compound that fights free radical damage, which is negative effects on the body produced by cells that are unhealthy.

Skin Protection Benefits

A lesser known benefit of phytosterols involves skin care. One of the contributing factors in the aging of the skin is the breakdown and loss of collagen — the main component in connective skin tissue — and sun exposure is a major contributor to the problem. As the body ages, it is not able to produce collagen as it once did. The German medical journal “Der Hautarzt” reports a study in which various topical preparations were tested on skin for 10 days. The topical treatment that showed anti-aging benefits to the skin was the one that contained phytosterols and other natural fats. It is reported that phytosterols not only stopped the slow-down of collagen production that can be caused by the sun, it actually encouraged new collagen production.

Dandelion Fritters ~ Gluten Free:
Pick as many Dandelions as you would like
Make sure they have not been sprayed with any Pesticides

Pick only the Flower Head ~ Leaving the Stem behind

Shake the container you collected them in, checking for insects.
You can also rinse them gently in cold water. But make sure they are dry before you dip them in the batter.

In a medium bowl combine with a fork:
2/3 Cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Brown Rice Flour
1/3 Cup Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Corn Meal
Salt and Pepper to taste (Or any other spices of your choice)

Add:
1 Egg
1 Cup Milk

Mix until combined

Heat 1″ Canola Oil to 350* in a Large Pan (Or Oil of your choice)
I used a Thermometer to make sure my Oil was at the right temperature.

Dip each Dandelion Flower Head into the Mixture, making sure it is completely coated
Carefully drop into the Oil.

Cook for a few seconds then turn over and cook a few more seconds. They Brown up fast.

Remove from the Oil with a Slotted spoon and drain on Paper Towels.

I cooked about 3-4 Dandelions at a time!

Finish frying up all the Dandelions.

I sprinkled a little bit of Salt on the Fritters after they were done!

If you would like them sweet,, Drizzle with Maple Syrup, Honey or Powdered Sugar.

Or if you’d like them to be Spicy,,, dip in some Hot Sauce of your choice.

These were so good!

ENJOY!!
