I like to cook and I have been thinking of trying to make homemade graham crackers. (They are hard to find in the store without high fructose corn syrup) While searching for a recipe I came across this.....

Graham Crackers Destroy Your Sex Drive?

Maybe graham crackers are typically served to kids because somewhere in our collective memory we know that graham crackers are wholesome and we worry that graham isn't good for sex?

Graham flour and later graham crackers were created by the Presbyterian minister Sylvester Graham.

He had some great ideas...

• We should eat foods high in fiber and with whole grains.
• Eating pure foods on a regular basis results in a long, healthy life.

and some less great ones...

• If food sits in the stomach for too long, it overstimulates the organs and causes sexual arousal.
• Rich, fatty foods only increase sexual urges.

Graham invented graham flour in the 1830s. It's a form of whole wheat flour that has a slightly coarser grind. It's higher in fiber than white flour and according to Graham, digests faster so as not to subject people to the desires of the flesh. This flour led to to the graham cracker: The Anti-Sex cracker. Now there's a marketing campaign slogan if I ever heard one.

Interesting....never heard that before.
