In their furtive search for an end all to HIV Aids, scientists have now discovered that perhaps the secret lies with our bananas.
The Donal MacIntyre team investigates reports that a substance in bananas called “BanLec” could be as effective as some anti-HIV drugs.
“BanLec” is an abbreviation for Banana and Lectin. Seriously, we’re talking about the real bananas here, just in case you think that this is a sidewinder.
“BanLec is a potential component for an anti-viral microbicide that could be used to prevent the sexual transmission of HIV-1,” wrote Swanson and his colleagues in their paper that appeared in the March 19 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Now, don’t just read this and LOLWYBSITA (Laugh Out Loud With Your Boobs Shaking In The Air. )
To my Filipino compadres, CARPE DIEM! Yeah, seize the opportunity because, it is said…
Previous studies showed that not all varieties of bananas produce lectins. Among those that do are the ones commonly known to Filipinos as latundan, lakatan, morado, radja, saba, tiparot and tindok. All of these banana varieties belong to the same species of edible banana known scientifically as Musa acuminata.
Duh! compadres, you still don’t get it ha? INVEST! INVEST!!
Buy up banana plantations or plant bananas all around your house. Spare not a quarter of your cultivatable land.
Then merrily sing-a-long Harry Belafonte’s “Day O” and reap your rewards!
Work all night on a drink of rum
Daylight come and me wan’ go home
Stack banana till de morning come
Daylight come and me wan’ go home
Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan’ go home
Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan’ go home
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan’ go home
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan’ go home

Oh Lainy, This song used to be on the radio when I was a child. There were a group of these old stirring songs that were usually played either on Children’s Play Time or on another programme that was on Sunday afternoons and played songs mainly for the British Troops and their families. Another song in the series was Sanders of the River – I hear your call which was from an old black and white film that I managed to see a few years ago. These songs that we hear in our childhood remain with us forever. Thank you for the wonderful memory!
