Griffin James Quinoa Challenge Award at Whole Foods Market Inc., Ann Arbor promotes the idea of improving Product Knowledge. Currently, there are no laws to include Nutrition Information about Dietary Polyamine Content of Food Products sold by Retail Food Industry.

The Magic of Creation can be interpreted from an understanding of Photochemistry and Phytochemistry. Photochemistry provides information about light and matter interactions in the material world where the living things survive using directly, or indirectly the energy trapped by photosynthetic organisms. Phytochemistry provides information about the creation, or the synthesis of chemical molecules by plants which are not endowed with organs of special sensation. The Magic of Creation is experienced by man who has the faculties of special sensation such as vision, olfaction (smell), and taste. Plants create chemical molecules that have the ability to provide the stimulus to cause a sensation that man can easily recognize. The fact of Creation can be recognized by knowing the color, the odor, the smell, the scent, the fragrance, the aroma, the flavor, and the taste of chemical molecules synthesized by plants.

The Theory of Evolution tries to explain changes in the morphological appearances of organisms which exist under the influence of time. But, the fact of existence of life can only be explained by the unchanging creative mechanisms that operate the Laws of Phytochemistry. We have witnessed changes in the appearances of organisms while the nature, and composition of chemical molecules essentially remains the same, and the same oxidative-reduction chemical reactions operate during the life and death of organisms. For example, the unchanging chemical composition of water molecule makes possible the creation of a wide variety of other chemical molecules to establish biodiversity.

WholeDude - WholeDesigner - WholeMagic: The Water Molecule can exist in three different physical conditions such as liquid, soild, and gas. But, it maintains the same chemical composition, and displays unchanging behavior without being influenced by changing times. — WholeDude – WholeDesigner – WholeMagic: The Water Molecule can exist in three different physical conditions such as liquid, solid, and gas. But, it maintains the same chemical composition, and displays unchanging behavior without being influenced by changing times. In essence, it is the same chemical compound that existed in all living things of the past, and the present.

What it is to be a Substance? and What it is to Exist? We need to establish knowledge about the man and the world on a firm basis and the information it provides must be tested for its accuracy and consistency with an external reality. We have to make the fundamental distinction between the living and the non-living matter. The scientific advances of the 19th and 20th centuries reinforced the materialistic position concerning the basic similarity of organic living and inorganic physical matter. The man is viewed as a product of natural evolution and is thought to be subject to the same laws of Physics and Chemistry or mechanistic principles.

We need a methodology to study philosophy and to understand philosophical statements. Logical Positivism, also known as Scientific Empiricism aims to clarify concepts in both everyday and scientific language. It describes analysis of language as the function of philosophy. This analysis of language and of concepts is important to understand questions of belief and ideology which affect what we think we ought to do individually and socially. I would use this method of ‘Applied Philosophy’ to analyze the concept of Spiritual Optics, the Spiritual dimension of biological coloration and the synthesis of chemical molecules by plants.

**The Magic of Creation discovered at Whole Foods, Ann Arbor – The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eatng. The Designing of Unchanging Chemical Molecules.**

Phytochemistry is the branch of Chemistry dealing with the chemical processes associated with plant life and the chemical compounds produced by plants.

In this blog post, I explore the connection between the chemical compounds made by Chenopodium quinoa and the male human reproductive system. I am amazed to discover that a plant creates the same chemical compounds in the precise concentration and combination to generate the same odor, smell, flavor, scent, or aroma that is produced by a freshly voided sample of human male Semen, the biological fluid that contains seeds called Spermatozoa. In my entire food experience with a wide variety of plant, and animal products, I never encountered a similar observation where I observe the convergence in chemical processes to generate the unique, unmistakable and distinctive odor by two entirely different organisms. Both plants and the man may synthesize similar chemical compounds using similar enzymatic pathways, still it would be very exceptional to generate an odor that a man can easily recognize as his own. The mechanisms that operate the phenomenon of Evolution cannot bring about this kind of convergence. In my interpretation, it is the evidence of an Artistic Unit created by Whole Designer, or Whole Architect, and a Whole Planner.

But to generate a specific, identical odor, or smell, both the seeds and Semen must have a similar concentration, combination, and mixture of volatile, odor generating airborne molecules.

WholeDude - Whole Designer - Phytochemistry: Chenopodium quinoa belongs to the Goosefoot family called Chenopodiaceae, Order Caryophyllales, dicotyledonous plants including Chard, Spinach, and Beets.

The leaf may have some resemblance to a Goose Foot. This plant makes polyamines and the seeds have similar combination, and concentration of these chemicals to produce the same odor or smell that is given off by a freshly voided sample of human, male Semen.

Quinoa (Spanish – Quinua, Quechua, Kinwa) is a member of the Goosefoot family and belongs to the genus called Chenopodium. These are weedy plants with small green flowers and scruffy foliage. These plants are cultivated by the Incas in the Altiplano of Bolivia, and Peru for the last 7,000 years challenging highly different environmental conditions. Quinoa is not a true cereal and is sometimes called pseudocereal as it does not belong to the Grass family like the true cereals such as Wheat and Rice. Quinoa plants produce fruits and seeds used as flour for making bread, pasta, breakfast flakes, and other staples.

WholeDude - WholeDesigner - Phytochemistry: Quinoa seeds are Gluten-Free. It is also Cholesterol-free, low-fat, and high in protein. Throughout the ages many foods have been considered sexual stimulants. Quinoa has a special reason to be recognized as an Aphrodisiac, a chemical agent that can enhance sexual performance.

Quinoa is one of the staple foods of the people of the Andes region of South America. It is described as complete food because of its protein quality; the balance between protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Unlike Wheat, and Rice, it is a good source of amino acid Lysine. It is a good source of minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, sodium, and zinc. The chemical analysis of Chenopodium quinoa seeds reveals the presence of several chemical compounds such as Phenols, Sterols, Terpens, Saponins, Amides, and Alkaloids. However, I emphasize about the presence of Polyamines, a class of chemical compounds found in all plant, and animal cells. The presence of Saponins in the outer layers of Quinoa seeds imparts a bitter taste to the food preparations and often people refuse to use Quinoa because of its taste, and smell.

What are Polyamines?

Polyamines are described as small aliphatic amines found in all animal, and plant cells. They are the major components which are not only involved in fundamental cellular processes, for example, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and programmed cell death, but also in adaptive responses to environmental stresses.The human body Polyamine Pool has three major sources; 1. Synthesis within the body, 2. Production by microbes that inhabit the intestinal tract, and 3. dietary uptake of Polyamines. According to a study, the concentration levels of these chemical compounds in human male Semen are, 1. Putrescine ranged from 0 to 1.96 mmol/L ( mean value= 0.10 mmol/L), 2. Spermidine ranged from 0.017 to 0.96 mmol/L(mean value= 0.16 mmol/L), and 3. Spermine ranged from 0.13 to 20.80 mmol/L(mean value= 2.43 mmol/L). It must be noted that the odor sensation is influenced by both arrangement of atoms within the molecule as well as the particular chemical groups that comprise the molecule. Olfaction is 10,000 times more sensitive than taste. The levels of these compounds in popular dietary items is shown in the tables below:

To describe the role of Polyamines in Plant and Human Physiology, I would like to quote from the abstract prepared by Lefevre PL, Palin MF, and Murphy BD in their article titled ‘Polyamines on the reproductive landscape’, and its full text may be viewed at:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21791568

The polyamines are ubiquitous polycationic compounds. Some of these namely spermine, spermidine, and putrescine are essential to male and female reproductive processes and to embryo/fetal development. Indeed their absence is characterized by infertility and arrest in embryogenesis. Mammals synthesize polyamines de novo from amino acids or import these compounds from the diet. They are essential regulators of cell growth and gene expression and they are implicated in both mitosis and meiosis. In male reproduction, polyamine expression correlates with stages of spermatogenesis and they function to promote sperm motility. Polyamines are involved in ovarian follicle development and ovulation in female mammals. Polyamine synthesis is required for steroidogenesis in the ovary. Polyamines play the role in embryo implantation. Elimination of polyamine synthesis abrogate embryo development at gastrulation. Polyamines play the role in implantation, in decidualization, in placenta formation and function. Polyamine deprivation during gestation results in intrauterine growth retardation. Dietary arginine and dietary polyamines act as nutritional regulators of fertility.

Similarly, I can quote several other research papers that describe the physiology of natural polyamines and their significance in performing a variety of metabolic functions. Please read the articles cited as references.

Quinoa’s Phytochemistry – A Natural Aphrodisiac:

WholeDude - WholeDesigner - Phytochemistry: Greek mythology describes Adonis as a youth of remarkable beauty. He is the chosen favorite of Greek goddess Aphrodite. The name 'Aphrodisiac' describes any agent that can increase, arouse, and enhance male sexual excitement, sexual performance or stimulate sexual desire.

It is important to recognize significance of Polyamine compounds such as Putrescine, Spermidine, and Spermine in Reproductive Biology. Animals derive essential amino acids and other organic compounds from their diet. Nutrition plays an important role in the reproductive success of an organism. Since scientific literature supports the view that dietary polyamines act as nutritional regulators of fertility, they can be easily incorporated into human dietary regimen, particularly of those young men and women who are sexually active and plan for reproductive success that ensures the birth of healthy babies. I am recommending the use of Quinoa as it is easy to verify presence of nutritional polyamines by conducting a simple ‘Smell Test’. Its easy and takes only 90 seconds.

The Quinoa Challenge: The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating:

I am asking my readers to take the ‘Quinoa Challenge’, which is a simple ‘Smell Test’ to discover presence of Polyamines Putrescine, Spermidine, and Spermine in the breakfast cereal of Quinoa Flakes made by Ancient Harvest. In 90 seconds, you will find the dietary polyamines without conducting a time-consuming chemical analysis. If your Quinoa porridge has Semen-like smell, it most certainly contains those Polyamines. As the saying goes: “The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating.”

WholeDude - WholeDesigner - Phytochemistry: The strong, penetrating odor of freshly voided Semen is very distinctive, and is easily recognized by people of all Cultures. The smell, the odor, the scent, the flavor, or the aroma of Semen is attributed to the presence of amino compounds such as Putrescine, Cadaverine, Spermidine, and Spermine. Semen is a fluid of complex composition and it is produced by the secretions from several glands of the male reproductive system such as the Testes, Epididymis, the Ampulla of Ductus Deferens, the Seminal Vesicles, the Prostate, the Bulbourethral and Urethral Glands(Cowper & Littre glands). — The Magic of Creation discovered at Whole Foods, Ann Arbor – The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating.

The Problem of Male Potency – The Role of Quinoa as an Aphrodisiac:

The term potent is derived from the Sanskrit word “Pati” which means Master or husband. It generally refers to the ability to have erection and hence have the power or energy or strength or capacity to engage in sexual intercourse. Very often, when human males are concerned about the problem of male potency they describe it as a problem of erectile dysfunction. When females are investigated for the problem of infertility, investigation of the male partner sometimes reveals the problems such as very low sperm counts and other abnormalities associated with the Seminal Fluid or Semen analysis. For men, impotence involves the problem of getting sexually excited, stimulation of sexual desire for the successful execution of sexual intercourse.

I do not propose Quinoa as an Erotic Food, or a Love Potion. Man’s universal attribution of libidinous effects to certain foods originated in the ancient belief; the belief in the therapeutic efficacy of “signatures.” If an object resembled genitalia, it is believed in several native cultures, that the object possessed sexual powers. Because of this belief, people describe the legendary aphrodisiac powers of Ginseng root and powdered Rhinoceros horn. Drugs like alcohol, marijuana, mescaline, opium, and others may cause sexual excitation through disinhibition. The fear, anxiety associated with erectile power and sexual performance may indeed have an inhibitory influence and may diminish sexual capacity. Inhibition could be the cause of much sexual malfunctioning. My recommendation of Quinoa as an aphrodisiac is based upon other considerations. Androgens are sex hormones that influence the growth and development of the male reproductive system. Testosterone is produced by the male testes. In the male, the Interstitial Cells of Leydig in the connective tissue surrounding the sperm-producing tubules of the testes are responsible for the production and secretion of androgens which are essential for the growth of the reproductive organs, the formation of sperm cells and for maintenance of sexual interest and libido or sexual drive. Secondly, Polyamines are required to protect the sperm cells during their journey in the female genital tract. Polyamines are alkaline compounds that counteract and buffer the acidic environment of the vaginal canal and protect DNA inside sperm cells. From a study of Phytochemistry, plant physiology, human physiology, biochemistry, medical biology, endocrinology, embryology, and human nutrition, it could be recommended to include some dietary sources of polyamines during the reproductive activity of both men and women to ensure the birth of viable, and healthy babies. For that reason, I am suggesting the use of Quinoa and if there is any doubt, perform the ‘Smell Test’ to verify the presence of aromatic amino compounds which play a role in both mitosis, and meiosis cell division apart from their association with Nucleic Acids like DNA, RNA, and their role in activity of Ribosomes and the Cell Membrane. Studies indicate that reducing concentration of Polyamines in the body pool may slow cancer process as the rapidly proliferating cancer cells need polyamines. To study viruses, Virologists use Chenopodium quinoa plants as plant virus hosts. Development of Polyamine Database for assessing Dietary Intake has been recommended and I am hopeful that nutritional guidelines will become available.

Quinoa is a functional food and it must be used in support of various physiological functions and its intake and of other polyamines could be also important in management of cancer. The biosynthesis of chemical molecules by plants is a creative process and the mechanism is creative as it generates diversity while the molecules maintain their unchanging properties and characteristics.

**Spiritual Optics. The Designing of Chemical Molecules by Plants. The Magic of Creation. Take the Smell Test.**

The Magic of Creation is experienced by man who has the faculties of special sensation such as vision, olfaction (smell), and taste. Plants create chemical molecules that have the ability to provide the stimulus to cause a sensation that man can easily recognize. The fact of Creation can be recognized by knowing the color, the odor, the smell, the scent, the fragrance, the aroma, the flavor, and the taste of chemical molecules synthesized by plants.

The Magic of Creation – Take the Smell Test:

WholeDude – WholeDesigner – Phytochemistry: This amino compound Spermine was first found in human semen several centuries ago. It is a basic substance associated with Nucleic Acids such as DNA and RNA, and cell membranes. It is found in nearly all animal, and plant cells. Its presence imparts smell and flavor to human Semen.

The detection of chemical molecules that stimulate the smell or olfaction sensation plays an important role in the survival of most animals. Smell is used for identifying and evaluating food, finding predators or prey, marking territory, and to stimulate reproductive activity. In several human traditions, the importance of smell, scent, odor, fragrance, and aroma is recognized and is glorified.

Seven odors such as sweaty, spermous, fishy, malty, urinous, and musky have been described as primary odors. The genetic and molecular analysis of the mechanisms of olfaction are researched by Linda Brown Buck, and Richard Axel who published a paper identifying 1,000 G-protein coupled receptors used for olfaction.

The word smell, or odor can be used as a general term to describe the quality or the characteristic perceived through the olfactory sense. Smell or odor suggests the presence or existence of something. The term scent refers to the emanation from the thing that is smelled. Scent could be faint, but it is a pervasive smell that gives a clue that could be tracked or followed. Odor is a heavier emanation and is often more clearly recognized. Smell or odor could be pleasant or unpleasant. Several descriptive terms are used to make the distinction between sensations that are appealing or offending. Fragrance is an agreeable, sweet smell, or pleasant odor. Aroma is a pleasant spicy odor. Perfume is relatively strong but usually pleasant smell that is natural, or manufactured. Bouquet is the fragrance of wine or brandy, and is also used to describe the characteristic aroma of a bunch of cut flowers. The term Redolence describes rich, pleasant combination of smells The term stink, or stench describe offending, or repulsive odors emanated by decaying organic materials. The term musty odor describes stale, moldy smell, and denotes the lack of freshness.

Plants create a combination of colors, smells, odors, fragrances, and aromas by synthesizing a variety of chemical molecules even while they lack the specific sensory abilities to recognize the characteristics of those molecules.

**Spiritual Optics. The Designing of Chemical Molecules by Plants**.

Plants synthesize chemical molecules that can be recognized by their smell, scent, odor, fragrance, aroma, and flavor. The sensory recognition or perception of smell or odor indicates the presence of something; the something that I recognize is that of the operation of Divine Providence called Mercy, Grace, and Compassion.

The Quinoa Challenge: The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating:

I am asking my readers to take the ‘Quinoa Challenge’, which is a simple ‘Smell Test’ to discover the presence of Polyamines Putrescine, Spermidine, and Spermine in the breakfast cereal of Quinoa Flakes made by Ancient Harvest. In 90 seconds, you will find the dietary polyamines without conducting a time-consuming chemical analysis. If your Quinoa porridge has Semen-like smell, it most certainly contains those Polyamines. As the saying goes: “The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating.”

Whole Flavor-Whole Dude at Whole Foods finds that The Proof of Pudding is in the Eating

The Magic of Creation – The Proof of Pudding is in the Eating – Discovery reported in 2013

James Griffin is an expert in Food Retail Industry. To promote knowledge of food products, in 2014, he announced the “James Griffin Quinoa Challenge Award” and the same was presented to me at Whole Foods Market Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA on Sunday, May 18, 2014. This award describes importance of the development of a food database that food consumers can easily use to make important decisions about the food products they purchase to promote their health and to prevent diseases like cancer.

Whole Flavor-Whole Magic-James Griffin Quinoa Challenge Award: Quinoa Challenge is a Smell Test. It requires preparing a small serving of hot, Quinoa Porridge using Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes, and smelling the Quinoa Porridge while it is steaming hot. The Winner has to correctly name the Primary Odor generated by Quinoa

Quinoa Challenge primarily involves a ‘Smell Test’. It requires preparing a small serving of hot, Quinoa Porridge using Ancient Harvest Organic Quinoa Flakes and smelling the Quinoa Porridge while it is steaming hot. The Winner of Quinoa Challenge has to correctly name the Primary Odor generated by Quinoa. The Quinoa Challenge takes about 90 seconds. I am pleased to announce that I am the First Winner of Quinoa Challenge in Michigan. Most possibly, I could be the First Winner of Quinoa Challenge in the entire World. I have not read any articles, or stories about people who may have correctly identified the Primary Odor generated by Quinoa. Please share your Quinoa Flavor experience.

JAMES GRIFFIN QUINOA CHALLENGE AWARD: The purpose of this Award is to seek the full description of the Chemical Composition of Food products that we consume. The Nutrition Facts must include all items of nutritional significance. — Griffin James Quinoa Challenge Award: The purpose of this Award is to seek the full description of the Chemical Composition of Food products that we consume. The Nutrition Facts must include all items of nutritional significance.

The Primary Odors include the following and this listing varies according to different classifications of Odor:

1. Sweaty, 2. Spermous, 3. Fishy, 4. Malty, 5. Urinous, 6. Musky, 7. Camphoraceous, 8. Pepperminty, 9. Putrid, 10. Pungent, 11. Floral, and 12. Ethereal.

WholeDude – WholeDesigner – Phytochemistry: This amino compound was first found in human semen several centuries ago. It is a basic substance associated with Nucleic Acids such as DNA and RNA, and cell membranes. It is found in nearly all animal, and plant cells. Its presence imparts smell and flavor to human Semen.

There are three sources of Polyamines; 1. Synthesis within the human body, 2. Production by microorganisms residing in the human gut or intestinal tract, and 3. Contribution from the diet. There is extensive literature to describe the role of Polyamines in plants and animals. The Polyamines are ubiquitous polycationic compounds and are essential to male and female reproductive processes and to embryo/fetal development. Indeed their absence is characterized by infertility and arrest in embryogenesis. Mammals synthesize Polyamines de novo from amino acids or import these compounds from the diet. Polyamines are essential regulators of cell growth and gene expression and they are implicated in both mitosis and meiosis. In male reproduction, Polyamine expression correlates with stages of spermatogenesis and they function to promote sperm motility. In the female reproductive system, Polyamines are involved in ovarian follicle development and ovulation and Polyamine synthesis is required for steroidogenesis( production of steroid hormones) in the ovary. Polyamines play a role in implantation, in decidualization, in placenta formation and its function. Polyamine deprivation during gestation results in intrauterine growth retardation. Dietary arginine (amino acid) and dietary Polyamines can be stated as nutritional regulators of human fertility. Polyamines are universally distributed in all living cells. Biosynthesis of Polyamines from amino acids ornithine and methionine fluctuates according to the metabolic needs of the cell. Polyamines specifically interact with Nucleic Acids ( DNA and RNA ) and these compounds are found in intracellular organelle called ribosomes where they stimulate protein and RNA synthesis. There is an extensive literature indicating the physiological significance of these amino compounds.

Quinoa Challenge-Quinoa Smell Test-First Winner in Michigan

After discovering the ‘Essence of Man’ by simply smelling a Quinoa preparation (more specifically Ancient Harvest Organic Quinoa Flakes), I started encouraging others to take the ‘Quinoa Challenge’. I was even willing to pay for the price of the Quinoa Flakes to give others a chance to experience this unique aroma, flavor, scent, or smell of aromatic chemical compounds made by both plants and animals but do not always make a recognizable sensory impact.

In the entire biological kingdom, Chenopodium quinoa is a plant that makes compounds just like those chemical compounds found in the biological fluid like Semen.

I am pleased to officially declare that Mr. B.G. of Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA is the Second Winner of Quinoa Challenge. He is the second person who formally participated in the “Quinoa Challenge” and has correctly identified the Primary Odor of freshly prepared hot Quinoa porridge. I am very hopeful that the “James Griffin Quinoa Challenge Award” will help humanity to correctly identify the Flavor and the Magic of Chenopodium Quinoa. Hopefully, this discovery about Chenopodium quinoa’s Flavor would be recognized as the most significant finding after ‘The Discovery of America’ by Christopher Columbus.
