BLOOD

It would take about 1,200,000 mosquito bites to completely drain the average human of blood.
(Discover magazine, August 2007)

2,500 gallons of blood must flow through a cow's udder each day to maintain a production of about 6 gallons of milk per day. That's 10 tons of blood to produce 50 pounds of milk.

The first book published by Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was 'The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland'. He is much better known as the author of 'Dracula' (1897), about the blood drinking vampire!

Chocolate syrup was used for the blood in the famous shower scene in the Alfred Hitchcock movie 'Psycho'. The scene lasts for about 45 seconds in the movie

The juice of purple grapes seems to have similar effects in inhibiting blood clots and therefore heart attacks

Liver has great nutritional value. It acts as a blood filter to remove and process the nutrients the blood has absorbed from the intestines.
