Ginger Mint can soothe symptoms associated with colds, and aid digestion, peristalsis, constipation and gas pain. The antioxidants in the ginger can even protect against the damage of cancer cells.

to zingibain, the enzyme in ginger. However, it takes 180 lbs of papaya to equal the effect of just 1 lb of ginger! So enjoy a K.C. Ginger Mint and experience the natural benefits of ginger.

What about candy and dental cavities? Candy alone does not cause cavities.
A number of elements causes cavities: susceptible teeth, dental plaque and food. Dentists agree, the cavity causing potential of food is not necessarily related to sugar content, but rather to how often a food is eaten, the sequence of foods eaten and the amount of time the food remains in the mouth. |
In the diet, bacteria metabolize fermentable carbohydrates, from both sugars (e.g. candies, soda, fruit juice, jellies) and starches (e.g. rice, pasta, bread), and thus may lead to cavities. The chewing of gum secretes saliva which neutralizes bacteria forming acid and reduces cavities. To prevent dental cavities many factors are involved: regular fluoride use, proper oral hygiene and control of fermentable carbohydrates. Therefore candy does not make your teeth decay. Lack of brushing and flossing after eating can contribute to teeth decay. |

To dispel another myth, neither chocolate nor sugar causes hyperactivity. Research has proven for years that sugar does not cause uncontrolled behavior in children. Both the Food and Drug Administration and the 1988 Surgeon General's Report on Sugar and Health support these findings. Experts now believe that it is often the excitement surrounding a party or celebration that causes the exaggerated behavior rather than the foods that are consumed.
Serotonin and endorphins are two of the better understood neurotransmitters of chemicals in the brain. Serotonin is thought to help people feel calm and relaxed. It is believed that low levels of serotonin lead to craving for starches and for sweet foods like chocolate. This is because foods high in carbohydrate may help boost the amount of serotonin in the brain. A feeling of well being is said to return with a raise in the serotonin levels.
Therefore, candy or sugar does not make children hyperactive. Sugar may tend to make you feel a little more relaxed than usual. Additionally, some researchers believe that serotonin is related to premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and may explain premenstrual cravings for foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches).

For athletes, eating carbohydrate during a long- duration event (greater than two hours) of moderate to high intensity helps performance. Depleted glycogen stores can cause fatigue and poor performance. About 30-75 grams of carbohydrate, from foods such as candy or a glucose drink, should be eaten each hour throughout the event to maintain normal blood sugar levels as well as to provide an active source of energy for exercising muscles. |

We also eat candy because it tastes great. Research continues to support what we have known for years - that candy can be enjoyed as an important part of a healthful and pleasurable diet!

“The spices of the East - cayenne, tumeric, cardamon, ginger and cinnamon….
Ginger earns its age-old reputation as a stomach-settler and a purifier. It has cholesterol-lowering, artery-degunking antioxidants and anti-fungal, blood-clotting and even cancer fighting properties.
You can't make Asian or Indian food without it. Or gingerbread!
While the FDA doesn't regulate spices, it categorizes all the above as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) so ban the bland and take your medicine - it's delicious."
Have a KC Ginger mint or KC Ginger Toffee today and add some healthy zest to your life!
