13 Surprising Benefits Of Cloves

No I hate it when nobody bothers to remove them after using them as a flavoring.

The horror! The inhumanity!

And I suppose removing them yourself required you use so many calories that you starved to death?

Who said every day?

If you're depending on it for your nutrition, you had better choke down more than that every day. Even that much too much only nets you six grams of protein.

DW, just put that in lieu of tomato sauce on some homemade pizza -- with broccoli and sausage. yum, indeed.

Double Yum!

You need to get one of these...

Clove cigarettes have tobacco. The ground cloves are just a flavoring agent. If they lacked tobacco, where would the nicotine come from? Cloves don't contain any. And whether they deliver more tar to the lungs depends on how hard the smoker sucks on them.

Thank you for confirming what I said about clove cigarettes, which still contradicts your article.

And I just had clove, thank you very much. Simmered the ham bone for hours with clove, thyme, garlic and pepper, among other things, before adding navy beans and squash (and the ham). Did I not mention that recipe above? I also refuse to make pumpkin pie without it.

But you said it was useful for nutrition. And I still say you can't choke down enough of the stuff on a dare to stay alive on its nutritional value. Tell me I'm being unrealistic.

Jeez what the fuck is your problem? Its none of your business who likes or doesn't like cloves. It's perfectly natural not to.

Now you're just as bad as that article is. Just because you have to choke down a six month supply to get six lousy mg of protein does not mean it has no other health benefits besides nutrition. As a matter of fact, I don't believe anyone has done a definitive, double-blind study to determine what clove is and isn't capable of doing. So, you can't definitively say what its impact on overall health may be.

Which would make the claims unsubstantiated.

Which would make the claims unsubstantiated.

Huh, ya think?

Like your claims that the Fed monkeying with the money supply ever ameliorated the effects of a recession are unsubstantiated? Just pretty much exactly like that?

Care to ask me whether I think it's more likely that cloves have unsubstantiated health benefits or the Fed actually lessens recessions and helps them end more quickly?
