  • Beetroot (Silver Beet) Leaf Spot (320)
    Pacific Pests and Pathogens - Fact Sheets https://apps.lucidcentral.org/ppp/ Beetroot (silver beet) leaf spot (320) Photo 1. Leaf spot on beetroot, Cercospora beticola. Common Name Beetroot leaf spot Scientific Name Cercospora beticola Distribution Worldwide. Asia, Africa, North, South and Central America, the Caribbean, Europe, Oceania. It is recorded from Australia, Cook Islands, New Caledonia, Niue, Papua New Guinea, and Tonga. Hosts Beta species (Beta vulgaris, beetroot, silver beet, and Beta vulgaris variety saccharifera, sugar beet), Amaranthus, spinach, and lettuce. Many weeds are hosts: Chenopdium, Amaranthus, Plantago and Verbena. Symptoms & Life Cycle Leaf spots, round to irregular, 2-5 mm wide, ash-grey to pale brown, usually with a brown or reddish-purple border often severe on older leaves (Photo 1). Spores develop in the centre of the spots. The centre of the spots fall out, giving a 'shot-hole' symptom. The disease can be severe on older leaves; the spots join together, the leaves dry and later collapse, although remain attached to the plant. Spread over short distances occur by rain splash whereas, over longer distances, it occurs in wind and seed. Survival occurs on crop remains: spores only last a few months, but the fungal strands of the stromata, last 1-2 years. The fungus also survives on weeds and seeds between crops of beet. Seed infection is common in sugarbeet, especially in Europe, the US and India. Warm (20-30°C) wet weather with showers favours the disease. Impact Severe outbreaks with loss of (sugar) yield are reported in sugar beet from many countries of the world.

    Beets Beta vulgaris Entry posted by Yvonne Kerr Schick, Hamilton Horizons student in College Seminar 235 Food for Thought: The Science, Culture, and Politics of Food, Spring 2008. (Photo from flilkcr.com) Scientific Classification1 Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Caryophyllales Family: Chenopodiaceae Genis: Beta Species: vulgaris Binomial name Beta vulgaris Etymology The beet is derived from the wild beet or sea beet (Beta maritima) which grows on the coasts of Eurasia.2 Ancient Greeks called the beet teutlion and used it for its leaves, both as a culinary herb and medicinally. The Romans also used the beet medicinally, but were the first to cultivate the plant for its root. They referred to the beet as beta.3 Common names for the beet include: beetroot, chard, European sugar beet, red garden beet, Harvard beet, blood turnip, maangelwurzel, mangel, and spinach beet. Botanical Description The beetroot, commonly called the beet, is a biennial plant that produces seeds the second year of growth and is usually grown as an annual for the fleshy root and young 1 Wikipedia Foundation, Inc., website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beets. 2 A Modern Herbal website: http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/b/beetro28.html. 3 Health Diaries website: http://www.healthdiaries.com/eatthis/25-facts-about-beets.html. leaves. The Beta vulgaris has three basic varieties: chard, grown specifically for its leaves; beets, grown for its bulbous root, with edible leaves (with varieties in white, yellow and red roots); and sugar beets, grown for making sugar from the long, thick root. The beet is a root vegetable with purple-green variegated leaves.

  • A Cinnamon and Benzoate Free Diet for Orofacial Granulomatosis
    May 2015 A cinnamon and benzoate free diet for orofacial granulomatosis: Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is a condition which affects mainly the mouth and lips. Swelling and redness are the most common symptoms but other symptoms such as mouth ulcers and cracked lips can occur too. The cause is not known but a cinnamon and benzoate free diet helps 70% of people with OFG. Avoiding foods which contain cinnamon and benzoates may help your oral symptoms. You should try and follow this diet for 12 weeks and monitor any improvements in your symptoms diary. Keep to fresh or home cooked food where possible. If you are unsure whether a food or drink may contain cinnamon or benzoate, it is best to avoid it. It is important that you read the labels of any manufactured or prepared foods you consume. 1 Page 2 of 13 Cinnamon Cinnamon is a natural substance, which because it is used in very small quantities does not always have to be stated on food labels. Look for the word spices, spice extracts, ground cinnamon, mixed spice, cinnamon oil, cinnamal or cinnamic aldehyde on food labels. Benzoates Most benzoates are added to food and drinks as a preservative. They are commonly added to fizzy drinks and processed foods. High levels of benzoates may also occur naturally in certain foods. Benzoates includes any of these preservatives: E210 or Benzoic acid E211 or Sodium benzoate E212 or Potassium benzoate E213 or Calcium benzoate E214 or Ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate or Ethyl para-hydroxybenzoate E215 or Ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, sodium salt or sodium ethyl para-hydroxybenzoate *E216 or Propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate or Propyl para-hydroxybenzoate *E217 or Propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, sodium salt or sodium para-hydroxybenzoate E218 or Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate or Methyl para-hydroxybenzoate E219 or Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, sodium salt or sodium methyl-hydroxybenzoate *banned in foods produced within the European Union but may be found in imported products.
