How is Marmite different from Vegemite? > > > What is the difference? > > > > Vegemite has vegetable extract as well as the yeast extract in Marmite. > > It's also Australian. > > Vegemite's a lot more like a paste than marmite (which is relatively > runny). Taste wise vegemite is more bitter I find. Vegemite is slightly paler than Marmite and has a less glossy finish (like it's Marmite with a pale matt powder mixed into it). I used to live in Australia and a surprising number of Australians seemed to think that the difference was that Vegemite was vegetarian whilst Marmite wasn't. Of course they're both vegetarian and by-products of beer production. Some of the difference may be down to the difference between our beers. The stuff which leaves the brewery is the scrapings from the bottom of the fermenting tank. Like solidified froth it goes off in open topped barrels to the Marmite factory. Each barrel is filled no more than 1/3 full because if the stuff gets damp it starts frothing like mad as the yeast is reactivated. The horses in the brewery love it and some of the old draymen liked a taste too.

I think that vegemite is a vegetable extract and Marmite is a yeast extract. One has more salt than the other too i think.

Does blueberry juice boost memory?

Researchers say blueberries contain a wealth of phytochemicals that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, animal studies have shown that the polyphenols found in blueberries, anthocyanins, have been shown to increase signaling in brain centers associated with memory as well as improve how the brain gets rid of__ [|glucose] __, all of which may help slow memory decline.

In the study, researchers looked at the effects of drinking wild blueberry juice on memory decline in nine adults in their 70s who were experiencing age-related memory decline problems, such as memory lapses. The participants drank about two and a half cups each day of blueberry juice made from commercially available frozen wild blueberries for 12 weeks. A comparison group of seven older adults drank a similar amount of placebo non-juice beverage for the same time period. Researchers conducted memory tests, such as word association and list learning and recall tasks, at the beginning and end of the study. The results showed that those who drank blueberry juice showed significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to the placebo group.

Q: Do fish and sharks sleep and if so, how do they sleep and why do they sleep this way/ in that position? A: But fishes do have a period of reduced activity and metabolism which seems to perform the same restorative functions as nocturnal sleep does in humans. Some are more obvious about it than others and actually rest on the bottom or in coral crevices, and parrotfish secrete a mucus “sleeping bag” around themselves before they go to sleep. If you get up quietly in the middle of the night you will find your goldfish in an almost trance- like state, hovering near the bottom of the tank making just the minimum correcting motions with its fins to maintain its position in the water column. If you put food in when they’re like this they take noticeably longer than usual to respond, as if they have trouble waking up.
 * Answer:****Yes fish sleep. But it’s not sleep as we know it. They don’t have eyelids to close, they sometimes do it during the day, they don’t show the characteristic brainwave patterns like REM sleep seen in humans, and some, including most sharks have to keep swimming in their sleep.**

Q: What animal's poop is made into coffee beans?

A: The Asian Palm Civet, also known as the Toddy Cat. They are from South-East Asia. Toddy Cats eat red coffee berries and beans, but they can't digest them so they come out the rear end. Humans discovered that the enzymes in the Toddy Cat's stomachs breaks down the coffee beans bitterness so it make delicious coffee. This coffee tastes like caramel and chocolate and is now the most expensive coffee in the world !
