Listen To Your Wife

My wife loves eating prawn heads. Her sibling and myself are alway fascinated with her love of prawn heads and we would alway teased her about.



But she does not care. I always tell her, " It is no good for you, high cholesterol, dear."
She would tell me, "You don't know what you are missing."
Last week an article in the newspaper caught my eye and I thought it would be fun to email it to my wife and her sister.

Below is the article.

A prawn's head good for health

Article from:

PRAWN heads contain a powerful antioxidant useful to humans and a technique has been perfected to extract it.

The antioxidant triggering the red colouring in cooked prawns, astaxanthin, also plays an important role in protecting human cells from damage.

It also is 10 times stronger than more common antioxidants found in fruit and vegetables.

While researchers had known of the existence of astaxanthin in prawn shells, they hadn't found an effective way to extract it.

A PhD student from the University of NSW, Renuka Karuppuswamy, has solved the problem.

Using carbon dioxide held under specific pressure and temperature measurements, she extract it from prawn shells, meaning commercial-scale extraction could now be a possibility.

Here is my SIL reply

"Now we all know why your wife is so healthy".
