Must apply some scientific knowledge in cooking than just juggling, joking with this and that without any explanation: by Dr Hector Perera  London I made it clear that that I wanted to avoid any cooking aroma depositing on me and on my clothes while cooking. Just like back home Sri Lanka cooking, first I didn’t worry about the energy wastage then realised higher temperature, faster those chemicals escaped while cooking. I preferred to cook and eat even from those days due to many reasons including health point of view. When I had to cook, eat, study and sleep in a single room, I really had to think very hard to avoid the cooking aroma depositing all over. May be I have to eat takeaways than cooking in the room. Again I didn’t like that much oily, salty fish and chips and chicken and chips. Honestly I didn’t eat that kind of ...

Should we eat more Bananas? – Written by Dr Harold Gunatillake FRCS, FICS, FIACS, AM (Sing), MBBS-Health writer   Bananas are available in every little way-side tea boutique or street eating outlet in Sri Lanka on the main trunk roads.  Bananas are kept hanging in most of these places. The secret is that hanging unripe green skin bananas change as they ripen and become sweeter. There are enzymes in bananas that begin to break down starches into sugars. What this means is that it is already digested into sugar for easy absorption, unlike most other fruits. Hanging seems to accelerate this enzyme activity. You can stop your vehicle and order a bunch and feed your hunger pans, quite fresh and filling, too.  The question is asked how healthy are they, and are they low calorie? They are extremely healthy full of nutrients and most average size banana (6-7 inches-101grams) have approximately ...

DOCTOR KILL OR CURE (Revisited) – by  Desmond Kelly  “Star of eLanka”     Seriously speaking, We Lankans, especially, seem to get a lot of headaches for one reason or the other. If we are married,heterosexually, our “partners” are generally to blame. Homosexually, I haven’t a clue because I have never been married in that fashion but. As I have said, and “written” before, I live in a Suburb called Hampton Park in Melbourne, Victoria.. Just a few kilometres away, there lies another little Suburb named Noble Park & here reside a very good percentage of Lankan/Aussies. If,  for any reason whatsoever, I was to use my catapult and fire a stone into the nobility of THAT PARK, it would land on the head of a Sri Lankan & that Sri Lankan would have Diabetes. The main reason for this is simply because Lankans LOVE chocolate. I do, too, and am supposed ...
