Pendukung PAS perlu berani jual produk Islam - Dr Lo' Lo'

Pendukung PAS termasuk Muslimat diingat supaya berani menjual produk Islam kepada masyarakat luar jika mahu mengekalkan kemenangan PAS terutama negeri Selangor.

Ahli Parlimen PAS Titiwangsa, Dr Lo' Lo' Dato' Mohd Ghazali berkata, jika Muslimat boleh ghairah dan tidak malu menemui pelbagai lapisan masyarakat untuk menjual produk jualan langsung mengapa dalam kerja memperkenalkan Islam kepada masyarakat harus lesu dan takut?



Itulah antara petikan dari artikel Harakah Edisi Isnin 23-26 Safar 1431H yang terbaru. Ini memberikan idea kepada saya bahawa pendukung PAS yang begitu bersemangat membara berjuang menegakkan Islam tercinta ini harus berani mempromosi produk Islam sendiri. Bukannya menjual produk bukan Islam dan produk Yahudi laknatullah. Saya tahu ramai pejuang PAS telah membuka kedai-kedai runcit, mengikut sunnah Nabi S.A.W. bahawa berniaga itu 9/10 dari keberkatan rezeki. Ya, itu memang benar dan saya ucapkan tahniah kepada mereka yang berani. Bukan senang berniaga. Banyak cabaran dan dugaan tidak seperti makan gaji yang cukup bulan, boleh dapat duit. Memang dijamin begitu. Tetapi berniaga siapa yang jamin? Hanyalah Allah yang boleh menjamin.

Tapi harus diingat, adalah lebih baiknya 90% barangan di kedai runcit kita itu adalah barangan Muslim, jika tidak boleh semua, jangan tinggal semua. Ini saya perhatikan sebagai contoh di kampung saya, yang 100% orang PAS (dipanggil kampung Islam), ada yang masih tak mahu ambil tahu hal-hal halal haram dan produk yang mereka jual dan beli. Dari mana pemikiran mereka perolehi bahawa perjuangan Islam ini tidak bersangkut paut sama sekali dengan halal haram? Sekiranya produk itu buatan bukan Islam, kita harus berhati-hati kerana mereka ini tidak tahu hukum. Malunya jika orang PAS menggunakan produk bukan Islam yang diragui kebersihan dan kehalalannya. Saya sendiri memainkan peranan menyeru keluarga saya dan mentua saya menggunakan produk Islam yang telah 4 tahun saya berjuang di dalamnya. Alhamdulillah, mereka dapat menerima perjuangan ini walaupun mereka kurang yakin pada mulanya, setelah penat menerangkan betapa pentingnya produk Muslim dan perjuangan PAS itu sendiri, akhirnya alhamdulillah, mereka dapat menerima 100%.



Barulah saya rasa perjuangan Islam ini diberkati Allah kerana di samping berjuang dalam PAS, produk dalam rumah pun semua produk Muslim. Barulah dikatakan selari dengan apa yang diperjuangkan iaitu, tegakkan Islam, akhlak Islam, musnahkan Yahudi laknatullah dan memartabatkan ekonomi ummah. Siapa nak pertikaikan lagi?

Rasulullah bersabda: “Dari Abu Hurairah ra berkata : Rasulullah saw bersabda: ” Sesungguhnya Allah baik tidak menerima kecuali hal-hal yang baik, dan sesungguhnya Allah memerintahkan kepada orang-orang mu’min sebagaimana yang diperintahkan kepada para rasul, Allah berfirman: “Hai rasul-rasul, makanlah dari makanan yang baik-baik, dan kerjakanlah amal yang shaleh. Sesungguhnya Aku Maha Mengetahui apa yang kamu kerjakan”.

FirmanNya yang lain: “Hai orang-orang yang beriman, makanlah di antara rezki yang baik-baik yang Kami berikan kepadamu” .

Kemudian Baginda mencontohkan seorang laki-laki, dia telah menempuh perjalanan jauh, rambutnya kusut serta berdebu, ia menengadahkan kedua tangannya ke langit: Yaa Rabbi ! Yaa Rabbi ! Sedangkan ia memakan makanan yang haram, dan pakaiannya yang ia pakai dari harta yang haram, dan ia meminum dari minuman yang haram, dan dibesarkan dari hal-hal yang haram, bagaimana mungkin akan diterima do’anya”. (HR Muslim no. 1015).

Sedangkan Allah amat memandang mulia orang yang berdoa kepadaNya, kasihan belas kepada insan yang dalam keadaan kusut masai bermusafir di padang pasir dan pasti dimakbulkan doanya. Tiba-tiba ada saatnya Dia tidak memakbulkan dan tidak memandang sedikit pun kepada insan tersebut. Di mana salahnya? Salahnya mungkin kepada aspek makan dan minum kita. 5 rukun Islam dan 6 rukun Iman kita jaga. Tapi tersilap tak jaga makan minum. Oleh itu adalah menjadi kekhuatiran kepada kita sebagai pendukung PAS sekiranya kita termasuk dalam golongan doa yang tidak dimakbulkan. Tidakkah kita risau? Tidakkah sia-sia amalan kita?

Nice to read, and sometimes, sad but true - Halal in cosmetics dilemma.

Halal Cosmetics: Between Real Concerns and Plain Ignorance

Despite commanding an impressive market size, the Muslim cosmetic-using population seemed blissfully happy dabbing their cheeks with products of questionable health and religious compliance. On the other hand, perhaps they just sincerely did not know…

Tasha just turned fourteen and among her Form Two peers at the Convent Bukit Nanas Secondary School here in Kuala Lumpur, she is considered to be the most popular, not least because of her looks. Of mixed parentage between her Malay mom and her German dad, Tasha’s Pan-Asian looks have been featured in many television commercials and teen magazines. It is not surprising that of all her many birthday presents, the one she loved the most is from her mom: a Body Shop’s birthday gift set. “She seemed so happy, so innocent,” said her mom. “I don’t want her to lose out on being a teenager. It means so much to her, I mean, look at her…,” she said smilingly as Tasha gets an impromptu mini makeover amidst the shrieking and laughter of her friends. Mom says she respects and support what the brand stands for, and would like to pass this on to her daughter. “I want her to feel good about herself, but I also want to teach her to be more responsible. She needs to know what she’s doing or using is not harmful to herself, the environment and most importantly, to her faith,” said mom.

Like many other emerging economies, Malaysia is not spared from the global marketing onslaught wielded by major cosmetics manufacturers. Fear of being left behind has driven Malaysia’s Muslim majority population to embrace the Western image of perfection, however flawed it might be. “With an increase in global communication, mass consumerism and sophisticated marketing, there is so much social pressure on women to emulate the 16-year-old, slim and tall models with porcelain skin and no signs of ageing,” said Dr Mah Hussain-Gambles, founder and formulator of her own Halal certified skincare range – Saaf Pure Skincare, a UK-based Halal cosmetics brand. “With improved technology, it is now also becoming easier to maintain youthful looks.

With all the choice and availability, it is no surprise that female consumers are increasingly buying more cosmetics,” said the London-based Muslim chemist turned entrepreneur. As it is, Europe is the world’s largest producer of cosmetic products, followed by the United States and Japan. Out of the total projected global cosmetics sales of € 126 billion in 2007, the European market has the largest share of about 55 per cent. Major global cosmetics producers are mainly multinational companies such as L’Oreal Group, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Shiseido, Esteé Lauder, Avon, and Johnson & Johnson.

Many of them are also involved in other sectors such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals and food products. Behind this glitter and glamour however, lies an overgrown monster desperate for an extreme makeover. “It is actually a much more ruthless global industry than we are led to believe,” said Muhammed Hamudi Sheikh Abdul Khalid, executive chairman of El-Hajj Products Sdn Bhd, who manufactures a range of Halal certified skincare products for use during umrah and Hajj. “Adhering to Shariah is probably the last thing on their minds,” he added. Rising cost of funds also meant that the market players had to continually invest in the most cost effective raw ingredients, and that is happily rendered by the rendering industry. Renderers call themselves "the invisible industry" and are thankful that most people remain blissfully unaware of their existence.

At hundreds of plants in the United States each year, more than 12.5 million tonnes of dead animals, bones, fat and meat waste, and used cooking fats and oils are heat-treated and melted down. Most of it to become protein supplements fed to pets, chickens, cows, sheep and other animals, whilst the rest are used to make products ranging from gelatine to cosmetics. Although Islamic scholars have differing opinions on the rendering process, citing the change-of-state, or istihala, as the central argument to the acceptable use of gelatine and cosmetics, the verdict is however clear on the use of swine placenta in many types of cosmetics including wrinkle creams and facemasks. Due to its biological similarities to human placenta and its excellent skin healing properties, swine placenta is considered as the darling of the cosmetics industry, not least because it is cheap and is easily available. “With regard to swine placenta, I would not be surprised if it is still used in some commercial brands, in parts of the world that have little or no regulatory processes,” said Dr Mah. “I would advise buying cosmetics from the EU, which has very strict legislations for the manufacturer to indicate all ingredients on the label.” Considering the hefty investment that the industry pledges in scientific research and development, product innovation and expansion into new markets across the globe, she says it should be easier for the industry to come up with ‘friendlier’ alternatives.

Concerns over the health and environmental hazards posed by the cosmetics industry are also on the rise. In 2002, the Breast Cancer Fund, Environmental Working Group, National Black Environmental Justice Network and others launched the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. Its goal is the phase-out of cosmetics ingredients linked to cancer, birth defects, and other health problems. In May 2006, Friends of the Earth and the International Centre for Technology Assessment petitioned the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to monitor products with nano-particle ingredients, including more than 100 cosmetics and sunscreens. Due to their incredibly small size, nano-particles can enter tissues and cells, thus are able to cause biochemical damage. Some of their findings are staggering: breast cancer, genital abnormalities, and distortion and damage of genetic material, passed on to infants during breast-feeding.

These are just some of the health hazards discovered but played down and categorised as “junk science” by the deep-pocketed global cosmetics industry. Whenever the public’s approval ratings go down, the industry would activate “green-washing” tactics, or environmental public relation exercise, to portray the renderer and the entire cosmetics industry to be as “socially responsible” and “dedicated to preserving the environment.” This is quite understandable, as the stakes are very high indeed. Nevertheless, while many animal, health and environmental organisations are pushing for some form of reform within the mainstream cosmetics industry, the Muslim consumers are continually being left unheard, despite the potentially high market share it commands.

A recent survey conducted by Messe Frankfurt GmbH, organisers of the Beautyworld Middle East event in Dubai, tells of a more compelling argument – approximately USD150 million worth of Halal merchandise are distributed through the United Arab Emirates every year, and a significant proportion of these are said to be accounted for cosmetics and personal care items. In the Middle Eastern region, the market size of Halal personal care products is currently estimated to be worth approximately USD560 million. The market for beauty and grooming products in the Middle East as a whole is said to be currently growing at 12 per cent per annum, with cosmetic-related sales valued at USD2.1 billion last year. In Saudi Arabia alone, the total sales of cosmetics-related products reached USD1.3 billion in 2006.

According to Elaine O’Connor, senior show manager for Messe Frankfurt, organisers of Beautyworld Middle East, the growth is being mirrored by the demand for Halal personal care products, which in turn is being driven by increased consumer knowledge of the ingredients used and the way they are produced. A recent survey conducted by KasehDia Consulting revealed that although the existing awareness of Halal cosmetics is still low, there has been increasing level of awareness concerning Halal cosmetics, and consumers who are all set to purchase Halal cosmetics, if and when they are readily available. The survey found that approximately approximately 57.6 and 37.7 per cent of Muslims in emerging markets like Singapore and Indonesia, respectively, are aware and claim that they will purchase Halal cosmetics if the products are available. Among these respondents, however, more than half admitted to having difficulties finding Halal cosmetics. “Admittedly the current awareness level on Halal cosmetics is still low,” said Irfan Sungkar, head of research and strategic projects at KasehDia Consulting, “but it is definitely increasing rapidly.” “The problem here is the availability of these products. This is possibly due to the accessibility of ingredients and raw materials that complies with Halal standards, and assuring the integrity of its Halal status.

It is a vicious cycle that the industry needs to overcome,” he added. The common problem here, it seems, is choice, or in this case, the lack of it. “The only way I can get Halal certified facial wash, not even cosmetics mind you, is if a friend drives up to Malaysia and buy it for me,” writes a Singaporean blogger MissFit. “At least they have more home-grown and natural products, and they are also Halal certified.” As it is, there is one well-known Halal certified cosmetics range in Singapore; that being the Sheer Secrets skincare range, manufactured by Sheer Healthpharm Pte Ltd. By capitalising on the country’s diversified natural flora and fauna with the help of biotechnology, Malaysia has been successful in developing its resource-based bio-generic industry, including the cosmetics and personal care sector.

The Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) ensures that they are also Halal-compliant. “For Halal cosmetics, we really need to do very aggressive promotions,” said Wan Norma Wan Daud, director of the Product and Services Development Division, Malaysian External Trade Development Corporation or MATRADE. As the agency entrusted to promote Malaysian trade and export overseas, MATRADE is also responsible in promoting Malaysian Halal exports overseas. Some of the Malaysian Halal certified cosmetics brands include Safi, Binari, Syahirah, Clara International, and a few others. “We not only need to create awareness amongst the Muslims that they should be concerned about the cosmetic’s composition, but also tell them that Halal cosmetics are available and where to get them. Malaysia can sell a lot especially to the Middle East, simply because ours is certified Halal,” she added. She also thinks that Islamic scholars must set the record straight on various issues concerning the use of cosmetics and the set limits for Muslims.

One immediate issue is the fatwa on cosmetic plastic surgeries to beautify ‘defects’, or the use of Botox injections for a more youthful and younger looking skin. So far, Malaysia remains as the only country to issue a fatwa and disallow the use of Botox by Muslims. Others however, regard a fatwa on such a matter as irrelevant. “Can we even consider putting on makeup to show non-muhrims as darurah?” asked Yazid Yahya, a local banker and a doting dad of two daughters. “In other words, can someone die if they do not get their daily dose of powder, lipstick and eyeliner?” Yazid looked utterly bewildered.

Scientists should also come up with more affordable Halal alternatives to replace the existing controversial ingredients. The legacy of Al Razi (Rhazes) in the fields of biotechnology over 1,000 years ago should easily be the main driving force for today’s Muslim scientists. The global Muslim consumers themselves should also exercise their rights and push the mainstream cosmetics industry to listen to their grievances. Just Google “cosmetic concerns” and a whole list of websites dedicated to various causes opens up.

Be it against animal testing, organic, safe, natural, or ethical, the list goes on. Halal activists however, are nowhere to be seen. In fact, the Muslim market can easily find powerful allies who support ethical and healthy businesses, including natural and organic, vegetarian, environmentally friendly and fair trade industries. The potential Muslim market is indeed enormous. However, before anybody can reap the rewards, there needs to be a serious shifting of the mindsets of the mainstream cosmetics manufacturers, the global Muslim consumers, and the scholars and scientists alike. But the signs are all there: the next wave of change in cosmetics will be more faith-based.

Truth is; there are so much the mainstream cosmetics industry can learn from Halal and all its inherent values. Not just a lifestyle, it is a confirmation that what Allah swt has designed for us is undoubtedly better. Better for us, both physically and spiritually; better for the animals we raise and eat; and better for the environment and the land we live on. Ultimately, it can also be very good for business.

In a Hadith, Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) mentions, 'Verily Halaal is clear, and verily Haraam is clear. And between them there are certain doubtful matters many people are unaware of, therefore, who stays away from doubtful matters he has protected his Deen and honour. And who gets involved in doubtful matters, he would fall into Haraam.' (Bukhari; Muslim)

Ibu Bapa derhaka? Satu peringatan...


Majalah Solusi keluaran Telaga Biru ini amat menyentuh perasaan saya apabila membacanya. Sangatlah bermanfaat dari luar kulit sampai habis satu buku, satu hari habis saya baca, itu pun tak puas lagi...asyik ulang, ulang dan ulang...


Paling menarik artikel ialah berkenaan Ibu Bapa Derhaka. Bulan Februari 2010 punya keluaran. Bila saja membaca muqaddimahnya, dah meremang bulu roma, sebab mengingatkan sama ada diri ini derhaka pada anak ke tidak? Mula la asyik menghitung, dan rasanya banyak jugak yang kurang cukup untuk anak kesayangan.


Kalau kita sebagai bapa telah tidak melaksanakan apa yang patut untuk anak, bukankah kita ni jadi bapa derhaka? Anak derhaka kalau tidak ikut arahan ibu bapanya, tapi ibu bapa derhaka, macam mana pulak? Tapi bukan bermaksud ibu bapa kena ikut semua arahan anak...itu dah jadi tanda-tanda kiamat kecil. Tapi yang dimaksudkan ialah sebelum anak menjadi derhaka sebab kelalaian kita, baik kita beri dia sepenuh kasih sayang dan ilmu, selain nafkah zahir agar dia cukup keperluan sebagai manusia yang beriman dan bertaqwa. Barulah kita akan digelar ibu bapa yang mithali dan bertanggungjawab. Dan biarlah semua itu kita lakukan dengan ikhlas, bukan nak balasan dari anak pula suatu hari nanti, kerana bukankah setiap balasan itu daripada Allah S.W.T.? Hilanglah pahala kalau kita tuntut jasa balas dari manusia / makhluk.


Nak lebih menarik? Belilah Solusi di pasaran sekarang...orang HPA paling perlu majalah ini, agar selaras dengan pemakanan halal lagi suci, akhlak pun kena bagus. Ok...jumpa lagi, wassalam.

Asyik-asyik soalan "kenapa produk halal ni mahal ek?"

Ini soalan yang dah 'mangli' (lali) sangat saya dengar. Kadang-kadang sakit hati juga, kalau tanya ikhlas takpe jugak, ini tidak, dipenuhi dengan sindiran dan sinis seolah-olah orang Islam ni tak pandai berniaga. Lagi menyakitkan hati walau kita dah bagi hujah berjela-jela dan bukti serta dalil yang kuat, tetap juga dia nak menang, nak memenangkan 'kaum' nya Yahudi laknatullah tu. Nak banding dengan Milo, Nescafe, kopi, sabun buatan bukan Islam dengan buatan Muslim memang la jauh bezanya. Susah sangatkah nak faham. Oh, mungkin orang Melayu kita ni suka yang murah je, kualiti dan keberkatan dia taknak...nak yang murah dan sedap je yeeeee...

kalau itu yang dia cari, memang dia rugi...rugi di dunia dan akhirat. Betul, saya cakap serius nih.

Kenapa kata orang Islam saja letak harga mahal? Tak adil? Cekik darah? Deyyy...dengar sini baik-baik neh. Orang Islam ni nak mencari rezeki yang berkat, patutkah dia tipu harga? Kalau dia tipu, Allah yang akan membalasnya, mungkin tak lama dia berniaga, lepas tu bankrap. Jadi kalau benar-benar Islamnya, harganya memang mengikut pasaran dan hasil kira kos tolak campur bahagi dan darab. Itulah harga yang akan dia letak.

Kos produk halal jauh beza dari kos produk haram dan syubhah. Dari segi kualiti, produk halal jauh lebih berkualiti. Dari segi bersih, produk halal jauh lebih bersih. Dari segi baik (toyyib), produk halal jauh lebih baik dari produk haram dan syubhah.

"Barang baik mestilah mahal"

Rasanya hujah atas tu orang boleh faham kot, atau nak lagi keterangan?

Contoh la orang kata produk HPA ni mahal. Uisk...nak tergelak saya dengar. Dia kata orang kaya bolehla beli. Aik, HPA ni untuk orang kaya ke? Sedangkan pengasasnya berjiwa rakyat, berhati Islamik, dan bagi pulangan balik pulak tu kepada para pembeli. Kedai biasa tak bagi...jauh sekali la Nestle tu nak bagi.

Ini bezanya perniagaan cara Islam dan cara Kafir. Orang kafir tak fikir halal haram, main redah je. Apa yang boleh dia masukkan dalam produk dia, dia peduli apa, janji dapat jual, murah lak tu. Hehehe...ruginya orang Islam kalau tak pandai pakai otak. Jadi hamba orang kafir la...suka ke jadi hamba orang kafir?

Sedangkan dalam Islam, perniagaan itu adalah berasaskan kejujuran dan ketaqwaan. HPA dah lama melingkup kalau dia tak jujur. HPA dah lama bungkus kalau ia munafik. HPA dah lama tutup kedai kalau ia tiada sifat ketaqwaan. Tapi apa yang buat HPA kukuh hingga kini, sampai sekarang orang asyik kata barangnya mahal, namun HPA terus disanjung dan diberi kepercayaan mengeluarkan produk halalan toyyiba. Semua itu adalah kerana HPA bertunjangkan keimanan dan ketaqwaan kepada Allah. HPA bertawakkal setelah berusaha sedaya mungkin mengikut syariat Allah. Maka ini ganjaran yang Allah berikan kepada HPA yang sabar dan tabah dalam arus moden yang kian mencabar umat.

Sebab produk bukan Islam ini jugalah bangsa Melayu rosak...tengok saja iklan dalam tv, seperti Power Root, Brands, Coca Cola, semua menjadikan anak melayu macam beruk, terkinja-kinja, macam orang mabuk, elok sangatlah kalau anak-anak tengok kat rumah, kalau dibiarkan lama-lama terpengaruh jugak.

Kalau kata mahal lagi, jumpa saya, biar saya bagi anda nampak betapa murahnya produk halal ni. Jumpa la mana-mana leader HPA pun boleh, takde masalah...cuma jangan kata belakang, jangan cakap benda yang anda sendiri tak tau benar salahnya, itu fitnah. Dosa besar. Kena bertaubat. Huh...

Risau status susu skim untuk bayi?

Seorang ibu risau akan produk untuk bayi dan kanak-kanak seperti susu, dan nak jenama susu yang benar-benar halal. Memang di Malaysia ni JAKIM saja yang ada kuasa menentukan sama ada produk itu halal atau tidak. Akan tetapi harus difahami JAKIM yang dianggotai oleh sekumpulan manusia memang ada lemahnya. Banyak pula yang ketinggalan dalam menyenaraikan produk-produk terkini. Jadi, amanah yang diberikan untuk membantu umat Islam Malaysia ini nampaknya masih jauh untuk dilaksanakan, dan banyak persoalan hanya dibiarkan terus 'tersoal' oleh JAKIM. Kasihan saya pada insan-insan yang amat memerlukan bantuan ini. Akhirnya saya khuatir mereka putus asa dan terus mengabaikan aspek halal haram ini kerana JAKIM cuai.

Oleh itu nasihat saya kepada mereka, Harapan Paling Akhir adalah HPA. Jadi, HPA berusaha sekuat mungkin untuk melaksanakan hasrat dan impian ummah untuk mendapat produk yang jauh dari was-was. HPA memerlukan sokongan semua umat Islam untuk menjadikan impian ini terlaksana. Lebih 350 produk HPA kini terjual di pasaran. Jadi, umat Islam ada banyak pilihan produk HPA yang halal, suci lagi bersih.

Kepada ibu risau tersebut, apakah produk yang terbaik untuk beliau?

Perhatian kepada ibu-ibu! ….kajian menunjukkan :

Infants below the age of one year should not be fed cow milk, goat milk, or soy beverage. These milks are low in iron and differ in the protein composition compared to mothers milk. Since infants depend so much on milk, it is likely that they will develop an iron deficiency if they consume cow, goat or soy beverage. Really, breast feeding or infant formula are the way to go, with breast feeding most superior. The iron in breast milk is highly bio-available and will cover the needs for the infant until about the age of 6 months. After that, the Academy of Pediatricians suggests, infants should be supplemented with iron-fortified infant cereals (such as rice cereal), while ideally breast feeding should be continued until at least the age of one.

Another reason that infants should not be fed cow or goat milk is because of the protein. Breast milk is higher in whey and much lower in casein compared to cow and goat milks. Casein is more difficult to digest than whey and may lead to internal gastrointestinal bleeding, which again, could lead to iron deficiency.

There are also mineral differences among breast milk, cow milk and goat milk. Goat milk, in particular, is low in the B vitamin folic acid.

Soy beverages provide more iron than cow milk. However, soy is deficient in many other key nutrients. Remember, soy is a plant and by no means can be compared to mammal milks, which are complex foods made to grow baby children/animals. The nutritional composition of soy and mammal milks are very different.

At the age of one, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests children can be switched to whole milk. Again, soy beverage is not equivalent to milk and thus should not replace milk in the diet.

Ya benar, seboleh-bolehnya berilah susu badan. Kalau susu badan kurang, amalkan Kopi Radix untuk memperbanyakkan susu badan. Ia dipraktikkan oleh isteri saya sendiri, satu lagi buat satu urutan (selalunya orang-orang tua tau nak urut di mana) untuk melancarkan pengaliran susu badan.

Finally, raw milk should not be fed to infants. Raw milk commonly contains food-borne illness-causing microorganisms (pathogens). Even low levels of certain pathogens can cause illness. Since infant immunological systems are not fully developed, they are at greater risk for disease and death than those with developed immune systems.

The following is presented for your information. It is not intended to endorse or discourage the feeding of any product, milk, or formula to infants, children or adults. As with any web site, this site can not stake a claim to all wisdom on the subject covered. Please seek additional sources of information before you change anything in your life based on what you read here or anywhere else on the internet.

Infants consume about 750-800 g/day for the first 4-5 months (450-1200g/day range).
Note that most of the minerals in goat and cow milk are significantly higher than in human milk. This, coupled with the higher protein of cow and goat milks (more than 3% compared to about 1.3%), make dilution necessary so as to avoid hypertonic dehydration (a result of high solutes in urine). But, after dilution, carbohydrate should be added to cow or goat milk because human milk contains 7.0 g/100g lactose compared to about 4.5 g/100g lactose found in cow and goat milks.

Distinguishing between allergies and lactose intolerance:
Allergies and lactose intolerance are different things.
An allergic reaction is the body’s response to a foreign body (antigen), typically proteins. Goat milk proteins have slightly different amino acid structures than cow milk proteins. Thus, a person who produces antibodies to cow milk proteins, may not produce antibodies to goat milk proteins. However, there is no guarantee that a person who is allergic to cow milk will not be allergic to goat milk, because the milks are similar.

Lactose intolerance or lactose maldigestion result from a person’s inability to completely digest lactose. Because microorganisms in the gut will produce gas, symptoms of lactose intolerance include cramps, flatulence and bloating. Lactose is present in all milks. Thus, goat milk can not successfully be substituted for cow milk in cases of lactose intolerance.

A note about goat milk digestibility:
Goat milk’s tendency to be more easily digested than cow milk is due to its protein make-up. Goat milk has low levels of the protein alpha s1-casein, a protein that is involved in curd formation. Cow milk has higher quantities of alpha s1-casein than goat milk. In fact, some goats naturally produce very little alpha s1-casein. The higher proportion of small milk fat globules present in goat milk compared to cow milk may also contribute to goat milk’s tendency to be more easily digested

Saya menemui maklumat yang sangat berguna ini dan saya sayang melepaskannya begitu sahaja. Jadi saya tampalkan diruangan ini untuk dikongsikan dengan anda semua.

Comparing Milk: Goat, Cow, Human

bandingkan

Perhaps you’ve heard that goat milk is ‘naturally homogenized’:
Because fat is lighter than water, the cream portion of milk floats on top of the skim portion of milk. Most cows milks in the store are homogenized so that we do not see the two phases of milk. The milk is forced through tiny pores under high pressure to break the fat into smaller sized globules. Small globules distribute in milk and do not float as readily. One reason goat milk does not have to be homogenized is because it has a high proportion of small fat globules. The other reason is that goat milk lacks the protein agglutinin. Agglutinin makes fat globules stick together and float.

McDonald's semakin maju di Timur Tengah



Peduli apa dengan krisis ekonomi global. Di Timur Tengah, gerai makanan segera yang banyak dikritik di negaranya sendiri, Amerika Syarikat, ternyata mengalami peningkatan pesat.

Bahkan di tahun 2010 ini, dalam dua tahun terakhir untuk pertama kalinya, McDonald’s akan menaikan harga barangannya kerana adanya kenaikan biaya dan inflasi sewa lokal.

McDonald's merupakan kerajaan gerai makanan di Timur Tengah. Terutama di UAE di mana masing-masing 5,1 juta penduduk makan rata-rata lima sandwich per tahun. Di negara ini, McDonald’s memiliki 52 gerai dan di atas satu juta transaksi per bulan.

Inflasi harga pangan yang tengah merajalela di UAE, di mana mata wang lokal dipatok terhadap dolar AS, ternyata tidak memperlambat ekspansi dan waralaba lokal McDonald’s di Timur Tengah.

Emirates Fast Food Company mengatakan kepada Gulf News bahawa mereka akan membuka sepuluh restoran baru tahun ini dan menginvestasikan total sekitar $ 7 juta.

Saat ini di Arab Saudi, gerai McDonald’s sudah mencapai sedikitnya 60 buah. Di Kuwait 37 gerai, di Bahrain 8 gerai, Mesir 50 gerai. Total McDonald’s diperkirakan mempunyai 31.000 gerai di seluruh dunia.

Sungguh aneh orang Arab. Di Amerika sendiri, sekarang ini banyak rakyatnya yang mulai beralih dari McDonald’s. (sa/arabianmoney)

p/s : Memang menghairankan situasi ini....kat PTTC Ipoh ni pun berlambak orang Islam tampal stiker M kat kereta mereka. Inilah contoh umat Islam yang tak peka dan pekak
