With the Mafia having got its hands on olive oil too, the revelation that most of the extra virgin olive oil exported from Italy is ‘fake’ has shocked consumers around the world The well-known CBS programme ‘60 Minutes’, in an investigation carried out in Italy, revealed that the majority of Italian extra virgin olive oil exported (mainly to the US) is nothing more than cheap oil that fails to meet the specific standards promised by its producers. According to the programme’s report, the Italian police seized over 7,000 bottles of ‘extra virgin’ olive oil last month alone. Most of this ... Read more

If olive oil producers paid more attention to the symbol of the olive tree and all the hardships it has overcome over so many centuries, they would not be tackling their problems in this way. For the symbol also inspires greater respect for the product itself. Olive oil is the essence of the olive. And it is no coincidence that it holds such great significance in Christianity. All these factors are not merely a matter of commerce, as some believe, who try to convince us that it is normal for the entire harvest to be sold in bulk—and indeed abroad—to ... Read more

Natural oral hygiene and tooth decay prevention with zeolite and xylitol MED® zeolite toothpaste has been formulated using natural ingredients. zeolite, a natural detoxifying agent found in nature, combined with xylitol, removes dental infections and reduces plaque build-up. Its anti-caries effect is due to the inhibition of the development of caries caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans.  Furthermore, it prevents plaque-forming bacteria from adhering to the surface of the teeth.  The mild taste of xylitol makes this toothpaste suitable for children too. Natural, effective formula without fluoride Free from synthetic fragrances, flavourings and preservatives Reduces plaque-causing bacteria and prevents tooth ... Read more

The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is causing increasing damage to crops in Italy and there is, of course, a risk of it spreading. This bacterium infects pear, almond and peach trees, as well as olive trees. This new outbreak is taking on enormous proportions due to the size of the olive groves. And at present, combating the disease once it has appeared is extreme and irreversible for the tree, as it essentially leads to its destruction. So, before we get to the bacterial level, it is worth recalling that Xylella fastidiosa is transmitted by insects of the families Cicadellidae and Cercopidae, ... Read more

Takahiko Moteki and Raul F. Lobo Chem. Mater., Just Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1021/acs.chemmater.5b04439 Publication Date (Web): December 17, 2015 Copyright © 2015 American Chemical Society Abstract The fluoride method of zeolite synthesis yields materials with unique characteristics such as high Si/Al ratio, large crystal size, and hydrophobic properties, and it has been advantageous for the synthesis of new pure-silica or high-silica zeolites. It is often difficult, however, to incorporate aluminum—and thus bring about useful catalytic properties—in materials prepared through the fluorite method. In this report we show that FAU-type zeolites are an effective source of aluminum to the growing crystals ... Read more

Frederick A. Mumpton, Department of Earth Sciences, State University College, Brockport, NY 14420 Introduction As agriculturalists around the world step up their efforts to expand crop and livestock production, increasing attention is being paid to various mineral materials as soil amendments and as dietary supplements in animal husbandry. The close relationship between the agricultural and geological sciences is not new—crop production depends on the existence and maintenance of fertile soil, and agronomists rely on knowledge of the mineralogy and geochemistry of clays and other soil constituents. In animal sciences, the addition of crushed limestone to chicken feed to strengthen eggshells ... Read more

This year saw the third olive harvest for the production of extra virgin green olive oil from olives protected exclusively by zeolite as part of organic farming. The first observation we can make is that, of course, there was no sign of the olive fruit fly. The second is that production is higher than in the previous two years, and the explanation is that the zeolite has now been in use for three years and is working with absolute efficiency. The third point, of course, is that quality has improved and acidity has fallen even further; indeed, preliminary measurements already ... Read more
