Ginger ale

Posted on 10/07/2013 by GingerMa

Ginger ale is a carbonated soft drink flavored with ginger in one of two ways. The golden style is closer to the ginger beer original, and is credited to the American doctor Thomas Cantrell. The dry style (also called the pale style) is a paler drink with a much milder ginger-flavor to it, and was created by Canadian John McLaughlin.

History

Dr. Thomas Cantrell, an American apothecary and surgeon, claimed to have invented ginger ale and marketed it with beverage manufacturer Grattan and Company. Grattan embossed the slogan “The Original Makers of Ginger Ale” on its bottles. This was the Golden ginger ale, dark colored, generally sweet to taste, with a strong ginger spice flavor. It is the older style and there is little or no difference between this and non-alcoholic versions of ginger beer. Golden ginger ale, like ginger beer, is mainly consumed as a carbonated type drink and not a soda in its own right.

By Girish Mathur

To alleviate an achy throat due to a cold or morning sickness ginger tea is the best and healthiest form of natural treatment.

Healthy Weight Loss With Ginger

Posted on 13/06/2013 by GingerMa

By Julia Denham

You probably know ginger as a candy, and have eaten gingerbread cookies. But did you know that this tuber is also a potent medicine, and can help you to lose weight?

Ginger has been used as a medicine to ease upset tummies for centuries, and is also popular as a remedy for travel sickness. It has both calming and pain-relieving qualities, and is a great digestive aid.

So how does it help you to lose weight?
