Yes, I went a little "Sherlock" on this one...
On Christmas Eve Travis makes his dads home made sweet rolls to deliver to our friends Christmas morning. For any of you that have ever made them or have made bread, you follow a basic recipe. Right?
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Flour definition: Noun
A powder obtained by grinding grain, typically wheat, and used to make bread, cakes, and pastry.
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 package regular or quick active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 cup very warm water
Activating or Proofing the Yeast: Pour the water, hot from the tap, into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. The water should be somewhere between 95°F and 115°F. With such a wide temperature range, you know that yeast is really quite accommodating. Add the tablespoon or packet of yeast and stir it in.
Let the yeast mixture sit for 5 or 6 minutes, 2 to 3 for it to become thoroughly dissolved and 2 or 3 more for it to begin to grow and show signs of life. Some varieties will cause the whole mixture to expand rather dramatically....
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg
At this point you mix it all together....
All flour contains a certain percentage of protein, When activated, these proteins cling together to form strands of gluten. There are two things that activate the proteins and develop gluten: the addition of liquid and mechanical action like stirring and kneading until it's elastic and springy (a sign that gluten development is well underway).
At this point you place it in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and wait for it to double in size.. If left unattended for too long it will rise over the edges of the bowl......
So here is my thought and Deductive Reasoning....If our bodies are made up of 75% water + body temperature = 98.6° + we drink 1 can of soda which = 8 tsp or 8 cubes of Sugar + we eat an Egg salad sandwich = Eggs, Mayonnaise (vegetable oil), on Bread ( yeast/ gluten) +some pretzels ( gluten + sodium (salt))....could that = a recipe for disaster in our bodies if the ingredients in these foods get out of control ? Just a thought... Also, if the Sun ever got us hot enough to raise our body temperatures to 400° for 30 minutes , Could we become a loaf of bread? Or better yet, Travis's sweet rolls?
Moral to the story: When Yeast (Candida), Gluten (Celiac), & Sugar (Diabetes, Heart disease, Obesity) get out of Balance or Control in our bodies, they WILL over flow and cause Inflammation and physical reaction ( symptoms ) and you WILL end up with the diseases these ingredients are linked too! Just ask your Doctor......
