According to an extensive Australian Newspoll* survey, one of the most popular forms of consumption is baked goods containing ginger (seven-in-ten). Furthermore, one-in-three Australians consume ginger baked goods at least once a month. Not surprisingly the majority of Australian’s (three-in-four) believe ginger is good for a person’s health and one-in-two Australians believe that food is healthier when it contains ginger.
Throughout history famous world figures valued the benefits of ginger. Henry the VIII believed ginger aided in preventing one from getting the plague.* Confucius was never without ginger when he ate*, and Madame du Barry, mistress to King Louis XV, served ginger to ALL her lovers– believing it would drive her men to a state of complete and utter ‘submissiveness’*.
