"Búfalos Proteina" Presentation  -- Originally in Portuguese 

From Alcides de Amorim Ramos (9/12/2014)

Buffalo -- The Light Protein Solution for the 3rd Millennium.  

A high proportion of premature adult deaths (35%) can be attributed to cardiovascular illnesses and diabetes.  

Buffalo food products aid in the prevention of degenerative illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, free radicals, obesity, etc.  In order to  classified as "light", a product must have 25% fewer calories  -- buffalo is actually "super light" protein because it has 55% fewer calories than ox (beef).  

The concept of good nutrition has been forgotten. Hippocraties said 2-1/2 thousand years ago that 90% of human illnesses "come from the mouth"; that's still true today.  

When cooking buffalo meat, always apply high heat first to force a contraction of the channels and avoid dehydration. After this heat can be reduced to continue cooking.  Do not apply salt just prior to cooking as this pulls out juices and dehydrates the meat. Either salt buffalo well in advance of cooking to let it absorb properly (which helps meat reabsorb moisture) or season the meat  after cooking.

Buffalo milk has two times more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) than cows milk. CLA is an anticancer substance and acts on the side effects of obesity, arteriosclerosis and diabetes.

Compared with cow's milk, buffalo milk makes nearly twice the amount of cheese and the cheese has 30% less cholesterol.

In the East, buffalo milk is used as a sexual stimulant (an aphrodisiac). 

The biggest mistake made in education today is that teachers do not teach human nutrition to students. "In the truth, we learn to better feed our pigs than our children."

After the nuclear accident in Chernobyl, in the old Soviet Union, buffalo milk was the food that more quickly eliminated radioactivity residues, as so is considered a strategic food in the case of nuclear catastrophes.

Obituaries:

Dr. Hugh Popenoe  - founder AWBA - President and Buffalo Aficionado - September 21, 2011

Craig Raminini founder of: http://www.raminimozzarella.com/ passed away - 1/30/2015

“He was interested in water buffalo because they had the ability to do so many things,” his daughter said. “They are draft animals and they are dairy animals … true mozzarella cheese is made from milk from water buffalo.”

He was subsequently recruited by the University of Florida to help establish a new College of Veterinary Medicine in Gainesville, and he was the first dean of student and public services.

There, Dr. Cripe continued his research on water buffalo. Along with Drs. Maarten Drost and Joe Wright, Dr. Cripe successfully performed the first water buffalo embryo transfer in 1982.
