The Best Option for Group Dental Insurance

As every employer already knows the most requested benefit after medical insurance is comprehensive dental insurance. The reason for this should be obvious to everyone; dental is the one insurance product that actually gets used on a regular basis. If employees do not currently get their teeth cleaned twice annually they want to and would if they had a dental plan that paid for it. Yet despite the recognition that dental insurance is the most requested of all benefits only 30% of employees working for companies with fewer than 99 employees have access according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics most recent (2009) published study. But what is really sad is that employers are not getting their money’s worth for the plans that they have implemented.

Why Is Hot Food Important?

Hot food is important because it changes the food we eat. It has both historical and current significance.

The heat created during cooking is an agent of a chemical process called denaturation which changes the proteins in food, unravelling the molecules and altering their physical and chemical properties. Depending on the proteins cooked, this causes them to decrease solubility or to cause hydrophobic proteins to bond together to reduce the total area exposed to water. Denaturation affects what food feels like, tastes like, looks like and smells like. A fried egg quite clearly shows denaturation and is a good example – the runny, clear egg white (albumen) reaches a set consistency and turns opaque white when heated. As with many denatured proteins, the process cannot be reversed, i.e. you cannot go back to raw egg once it has cooled down.
