History of Lemonade

The very first uses for the lemon in the Mediterranean were as an ornamental plant in early Islamic gardens. Tracking the progress of the lemon tree from its origin in Assam and northern Burma to China, across Persia and the Arab world to the Mediterranean, is difficult because of the lemon’s adaptability to hybridization. This has caused problems for the horticulturist (a variety might not take to a new land), the food historian (unclear references–for example, the “round citron”), and the taxonomist (a proliferation of botanical terms).

Although the citron–like a lemon but larger, with a very thick rind and very little pulp or juice–seems to have been known by the ancient Jews before the time of Christ, and perhaps dispersed in the Mediterranean by them, the lemon seems not to have been known in pre-Islamic times. Ilaria Gozzini Giacosa is wrong to claim in her book A Taste of Ancient Rome, that the Romans grew the lemon. In fact, the malum medicum mentioned by Pliny is the citron. Although there are depictions of citrus fruits from Roman mosaics in Carthage and frescoes in Pompeii that bear a striking resemblance to oranges and lemons, this iconographical evidence is not supported by any paleobotanical or literary evidence, suggesting that the artists either imported the fruits or saw them in the East.

The first clear literary evidence of the lemon tree in any language dates from the early tenth-century Arabic work by Qustus al-Rumi in his book on farming. At the end of the twelfth century, Ibn Jami’, the personal physician to the great Muslim leader Saladin, wrote a treatise on the lemon, after which it is mentioned with greater frequency in the Mediterranean.

Egyptians of the fourteenth century knew of the lemon. Most peasants drank a date-and-honey wine. Along the Egyptian Mediterranean coast, people drank kashkab, a drink made of fermented barley and mint, rue, black pepper, and citron leaf. It appears that the all-American summer drink, lemonade, may have had its origin in medieval Egypt. Although the lemon originates farther to the east, and lemonade may very well have been invented in one of the eastern countries, the earliest written evidence of lemonade comes from Egypt. The first reference to the lemon in Egypt is in the chronicles of the Persian poet and traveler Nasir-i-Khusraw (1003-1061?), who left a valuable account of life in Egypt under the Fatamid caliph al-Mustansir (1035-1094). The trade in lemon juice was quite considerable by 1104. We know from documents in the Cairo Geniza–records of the medieval Jewish community in Cairo from the tenth through thirteenth centuries–that bottles of lemon juice, qatarmizat, were made with lots of sugar and consumed locally and exported.

R Whites

Robert and Mary White produced the first R Whites lemonade in Camberwell, London, in 1845. Their home-made lemonade was regarded as so supremely refreshing that it was bought by H.D. Rawlings in 1891 who delivered it to the royal houses of Europe. The brand came into Britvic’s care in 1986 when Britvic and Canada Dry Rawlings Ltd. merged.

Its not really a good idea to drink any energy drinks at all; empty stomach or otherwise.

However, you did not do any real damage to your stomach or anything else. Its just over a period of time that damage begins, and your body can heal itself if you lay off the the energy drinks.

If you are looking for a quick pick-me-up; try either the sugar in fruit (especially in oranges) or a non-sweetened cup of coffee. Both are very healthy for you, and will give you a pick-me-up real quick.

How long will I be affected by the caffiene in a 16 oz (the normal size) can of Monster Energy drink?
I ate a snack recently…
I’m 5′8” and weigh 125 pounds…

Honestly it all depends on the size of your body and what else you ate with it.

The pesticide industry, selling their toxic waste sludge is worth billions and billions of dollars. Before EPA laws came into existence the pesticide industry was able to dump their toxic waste sludge into the river systems. After the EPA laws the pesticide industry had to find solutions to getting rid of this waste sludge. Monsanto Dow Chemical conceived the idea and hatched plan to sell their waste sludge to the unsuspecting public, therefore a powerful, well-paid lobby was hired to get the message out that fluoride is good for dental health.

I am sure that we want our food and drug industries to be supplying pure food and medicines. China has shown recently how things can go wrong when what goes into foods or drugs can go far astray.
I worked quality control for a large food supply company in CA, where we checked daily on all the foods we were sending out. My son-in-law does qualitative analysis for a drug company making sure all runs of a drug are correct.

I’m going to San Francisco which is right near corona and i was thinking to getting a tour of the factory just to see where its made and how. i love monster so much, i drink it whenever i can.
