^ I think it's brilliant idea.

The whole point of having a Bible is for people to read it. If glossy pictures would attract more readers, then why not?


Soya beans that produce less fart

Singapore (Nov 26, 2008): Love to consume soy yogurt, but embarrassed about the intestinal gas it can induce?

Fret no more: Researchers from the department of chemistry in the National University of Singapore have found a way to process soy yogurt that reduces a side effect previously associated with it.

Soy yogurt’s high carbohydrate content can cause intestinal gas, or flatulence. Under the researchers’ new method, the soya beans are soaked, injected with fungus and left to germinate for three days before the usual culturing process.

The germination process helps to cut the carbohydrate level in the soya beans. Assistant Professor Huang Dejian, principal investigator for the project, explained: "When we germinate the soya beans, the flatulence-producing carbohydrates are utilised as energy for the seeds’ germination."

His team hopes to conduct more studies to optimise the flavour of soy yogurt.
