Playboy (magazine)

District Court Judge Thomas Hogan reversed the decision on First Amendment grounds[5]. This condition has not been found in many other animals, and is not known to occur in humans. Congress cut off funding for this braille magazine translation in 1985, but U.S. This is probably because rats are extremely sensitive to dietary protease inhibitors like those found in soybeans, which can disrupt the action of digestive enzymes needed to break down protein. The braille version includes all the written words in the non-braille magazine, but no pictorial representations. A 1985 animal study showed that young rats fed large amounts of soy products as their primary food source showed an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) has published a braille edition of Playboy since 1970[4]. The original paper in the journal Circulation: January 17,2006[4].

In September 2005, Playboy launched the online edition of the magazine Playboy Digital. [3]. The growth of the internet also prompted the magazine to develop a pay web site called the Playboy Cyber Club in 1995 which features online chats, additional pictorials & videos of Playmates and Playboy Cyber Girls as well as archives of past Playboy articles and interviews. The panel also found that soy isoflavones do not reduce post menopause "hot flashes" in women nor do isoflavones help prevent cancers of the breast, uterus or prostate. The success of Playboy magazine has led PEI to market other versions of the magazine, the Special Editions[2] (formerly called News Stand Specials), such as Playboy's College Girls[3] and Playboy's Book of Lingerie, as well as the Playboy video collection. In January , 2006 an American Heart Association review (in the journal Circulation) of a decade long study of soy protein benefits casts doubt on the FDA allowed "Heart Healthy" claim for soy protein. (starting at the accompanying date, or during the accompanying date range). The FDA granted this health claim for soy: "25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease." One serving, (1 cup or 240 mL) of soy milk, for instance, contains 6 or 7 grams of soy protein.

. On the basis of this research PTI, in 1998, filed a petition with FDA for a health claim that soy protein may reduce cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. TELEVISION:. Soy phytoestrogens (isoflavones: genistein and daidzein) adsorbed onto the soy protein were suggested as the agent reducing serum cholesterol levels. SPORT:. However, High Density Lipoprotein HDL(good cholesterol) did not increase. MUSIC:. This meta-analysis concluded that soy protein is correlated with significant decreases in serum cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride concentrations.

FILM:. Louis. Some of them are:. 5) published a report from the University of Kentucky entitled, "Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Soy Protein Intake on Serum Lipids." It was financed by the PTI division of DuPont,"The Solae Co."[2] St. Many celebrities (singers, actresses, models, etc.) have posed for Playboy over the years. 333, No. For a full listing, please see list of people in Playboy 2000-present and its accompanying pages.. In 1995, the New England Journal of Medicine (Vol.

However, in the 50th Anniversary issue, this picture was printed in its original, unedited state. Isoflavones are polyphenol compounds, produced primarily by beans and other legumes, including peanuts and chickpeas. Similarly, in Rena Mero's ("Sable") first Playboy shoot, one photo of Mero lying on her back was edited to add extra pubic hair over her genitalia. Soybeans also contain isoflavones, forms of phytoestrogen that are considered by some nutritionists and physicians to be useful in the prevention of cancer, though very controversial and also blamed for some thyroid and reproductive health problems. In reprints in later "Newsstand Specials" as well as a poster-sized print, Pamela had been "defeminized," this area having been painted over in the color of the object in front of which she was standing. They are also high in fiber and vitamin C. In Pamela's original Playboy appearance in the issue of February 1990, there was a rear-view photo with her legs slightly apart and her labia majora plainly visible. In spite of the chelating effects of phytic acid, soybeans remain a good source of magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and manganese.

One example was the case of Pamela Anderson and the "disappearing labia". Scientific research [1] also indicates that it may reduce the risk of colon cancer. Some readers say that this kind of photo-editing takes away from authenticity and makes photographs look unnatural. The Journal of Environmental Nutrition (April 2004 volume 27 issue 4) has also stated phytic acid may be considered a phytonutrient, providing an antioxidant effect. There is some controversy over airbrushing (or, in recent times, Photoshopping) that is done on the photos featured in the magazine. However, dietary mineral chelators help prevent over-mineralization of joints, blood vessels, and other parts of the body, which is most common in older persons. and Netscape for trademark infringement. For people with a particularly low intake of essential minerals, especially young children and those in developing countries, this effect can be undesirable.

The suit originally started on April 15, 1999, when Playboy sued Excite Inc. Of any studied legume, whole soybeans have the highest levels of phytic acid, an organic acid and mineral chelator present in many plant tissues, especially bran and seeds, which binds to certain ingested minerals: calcium, magnesium, iron, and especially zinc—in the intestinal tract, and reduces the amount the body assimilates. Court of Appeals ruled that Playboy Enterprises Inc.'s (PEI) trademark terms "Playboy" and "Playmate" should be protected even in Internet searches that prompt pop-up advertisements. The only non-legume to have an almost identical protein profile to soy is the cereal oat (Avena sativa), and perhaps quinoa. On the January 14, 2004, the Ninth Circuit U.S. Soy protein is similar to that of other legume seeds, but has the highest yield per square meter of growing area, and is the least expensive source of dietary protein. Apparently, the whole Australian edition of Playboy is discontinued as well. For this reason, soy is important to many vegetarians and vegans.

Playboy is not sold in the State of Queensland, Australia. A complete protein is one that contains significant amounts of all the essential amino acids that must be provided to the human body because of the body's inability to synthesize them. In some others, it is only sold in liquor & beer stores, and as for counties where such stores are forbidden, it is likely that Playboy is also. Soybeans are a source of complete protein. In many counties in the United States, Playboy is not sold in any stores. Concern is also for the high amounts of residual toxin since the herbicide is sprayed on the soya crop repeatedly during growth. The store returned Playboy to its shelves in late 2003. As with other "Roundup Ready" crops, concern is expressed over damage to biodiversity through the loss of wildflowers removed by the roundup treatment, and consequent loss of insects and birds that depend on them.

In 1986, the American convenience store chain 7-Eleven removed the magazine from its stores. Currently, 80% of all soybeans cultivated for the commercial market are genetically modified. A local Moslem Organization is also opposed to Playboy being published on the grounds that it is pornography. RR soybeans allow a farmer to reduce tillage or even to sow the seed directly into an unplowed field, known as 'No Plow' tillage. Even the publisher said that the content of the Indonesian edition will be different from the original edition but the government was trying hard to ban it by using pornographic rules since the Indonesian government can't ban any media. Roundup kills conventional soybeans. An Indonesian Edition of Playboy launched in March 2006 but the controversy started before the first issue was published. strain CP4, inserted, by means of a gene gun, into its genome that allows the transgenic plant to survive being sprayed by this non-selective, glyphosate-based herbicide.

Also, Japan has its own edition of Playboy, where according to Japanese custom, the pubic areas of the models are not shown. In 1995, Monsanto introduced "Roundup Ready" (RR) soybeans that have had a complete copy of a gene (plasmid) from the bacteria, Agrobacterium sp. However, it is sold in Hong Kong. Monsanto is the world's leader in genetically modified soy for the commercial market. In additon, its sale and distribution is banned in almost all Muslim countries in Asia and Africa, such as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Soybeans are one of the "Biotech Food" crops that are being genetically modified, and GMO soybeans are being used in an increasing number of products. In many parts of Asia, including China, South Korea, India, Burma, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, and Brunei, the sale and distribution of Playboy is banned. Soybeans are also used as fermenting stock to make a brand of vodka.

It is known simply as the "Lenna" (also "Lena") image in that field.[1]. Soybeans are also used in industrial products including oils, soap, cosmetics, resins, plastics, inks, crayons, solvents, and biodiesel. Perhaps coincidentally, a cropped image of the issue's centerfold (which featured Lena Soderberg) became a standard image for testing image processing algorithms. Additionally, soy protein has been found to reduce renal excretion of calcium, an effect that is reinforced by the high potassium content of soy products. Artist Jack Niland designed the cover to embody the principles of Dharma Art as taught by the Tibetan meditation master Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Tofu often contains high amounts of this important mineral since calcium salts are used to coagulate the protein in soy milk when creating tofu. The best-selling Playboy edition was the November 1972 edition, which sold 7,161,561 copies. Many manufacturers of soy milk now sell calcium-enriched products as well.

Clarke, Yasir Arafat, Steve Jobs, Stephen Hawking, Larry Ellison, Shintaro Ishihara, Robert De Niro, and Carl Sagan. Soy milk does not contain significant amounts of calcium, since the high calcium content of soybeans is bound to the insoluble constituents and remains in the pulp. Over the years they have conducted interviews with Jimmy Carter, John Lennon, Fidel Castro, Ayn Rand, Malcolm X, George Lincoln Rockwell, Kurt Vonnegut, Bertrand Russell, Salvador Dali, Martin Luther King Jr., Jean-Paul Sartre, George Wallace, Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), Madalyn Murray O'Hair, Orson Welles, Ralph Nader, Arthur C. These imitation products are derived from extensive processing to produce a texture and appearance similar to the real dairy-based ones. "Playboy Interview" started with Miles Davis in September 1962 (Volume 9, Number 9). Many traditional dairy products have been imitated using processed soybeans, and imitation products such as soy milk, "soy yogurt" and "soy cream cheese" are readily available in most supermarkets. The interviewers employed have included Alex Haley and Alvin Toffler. The formulas are sold in powdered, ready to feed, or concentrated liquid forms.

A typical interview would range from 7 to 10 hours long. Infant formulas based on soy are used by lactose-intolerant babies; and for babies that are allergic to human milk proteins and cow milk proteins. The “Playboy Interview”, a monthly interview of someone prominent, has become famous for its confrontational style and in-depth process. It is the starting material for production of soy concentrate and soy protein isolate. Celebrations were held at Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, and Moscow during the year to commerate this event. Soy flour refers to defatted soybeans where special care was taken during desolventizing (not toasted) in order to minimize denaturation of the protein to retain a high Nitrogen Solubility Index (NSI), for uses such as extruder texturizing (TVP). The magazine celebrated its 50th Anniversary with the January 2004 issue. Soybean meal, the material remaining after solvent extraction of soybean flakes, with a 50% soy protein content, toasted (a misnomer because the heat treatment is with moist steam), and ground, in a hammer mill, provided the energy for the American revolution, beginning in the 1930s, of growing farm animals such as poultry and swine on an industrial scale; and more recently the aquaculture of catfish.

Christie Hefner, a daughter of Hugh Hefner, became the CEO of Playboy in 1988 and is now also the Chairman of the Board. The remaining soybean husks are used mainly as animal feed. In response Playboy has attempted to re-assert its hold on the 18–35 male demographic it once controlled through slight changes to its content and focussing on issues and personalities more appropriate to its audience—such as hip-hop artists being featured in the Playboy Interview. New processes increasingly prepare protein isolates for use as food additives or health supplements. Since reaching its peak in the 1970s, Playboy has seen a decline in circulation and cultural relevance because of increased competition in the field it founded— first from Penthouse, Oui, and Gallery in the 1970s; later from pornographic videos; and more recently from lad mags such as Maxim, FHM, and Stuff. The oils are exported abroad, sold as vegetable oil, or end up in a wide variety of processed foods. The stars, which ranged in number between zero and twelve, actually indicated the domestic or international advertising region for that printing. The oils are blended for their applications, and sometimes hydrogenated.

The legend stated that this was either a rating that Hefner gave to the Playmate according to how attractive she was, the number of times that Hefner had slept with her, or how good she was in bed. The soybeans are cracked, adjusted for moisture content, rolled into flakes and solvent extracted with commercial hexane. From 1955 to 1979 (except for a six month gap in 1976), the "P" in Playboy had a number of stars printed in or around the letter. Soybean oil extraction is performed on a large scale in the U.S. An urban legend started about Hefner and the Playmates of the Month because of markings on the front covers of the magazine. Soybean oil makes up 80% of the edible oil consumption in the United States. Hefner said that he chose the rabbit as a mascot for its “humorous sexual connotation”, and because the image was “frisky and playful”. All commercial soybeans in the United States are yellow or yellow brown.

The famous Playboy logo, depicting the stylized profile of a rabbit wearing a tuxedo bow tie, was designed by art designer Art Paul for the magazine's second issue and has appeared on every issue since; a running joke in the magazine involves hiding the logo somewhere in the cover art or photograph. Soybeans having a dark colored seed coat, or even beans with a dark hilum will inadvertently leave dark specks in the flour, an undesirable factor when used in food products. Copies of the first issue in Mint to Near Mint condition fetched over $5,000 in 2002. In processing soybeans for oil extraction and subsequent soy flour production, selection of high quality, sound, clean, dehulled yellow soybeans is very important. The cover price was 50¢. Soybeans are also the primary ingredient involved in the production of soy sauce (or shoyu). Known circulation was 53,991 (Source: Playboy Collector's Association Playboy Magazine Price Guide). Common forms of soy (or soya) include soy meal ( used as animal feed), soy flour, "soy milk", tofu, textured vegetable protein (TVP, which is made into a wide variety of vegetarian foods, some of them intended to imitate meat), tempeh, soy lecithin and soybean oil (aka "vegetable oil" in the USA).

The first issue was an immediate sensation; it sold out within a matter of weeks. The beans can be processed in a variety of ways. The first centerfold was Marilyn Monroe, although the picture used had originally been taken for a calendar, rather than for Playboy. Soybeans prepared this way are a popular local snack in Hawai'i, where, as in Japan, China, and Korea, the bean and products made from the bean (miso, natto, tofu, douchi, doenjang, ganjang and others) are a significant part of the diet. The first issue, published in December 1953, did not carry a date, as Hefner was unsure whether there would be a second issue. Soybeans may be boiled whole in their green pod and served with salt, under the Japanese name edamame. Sellers, whose mother had worked for the short-lived Playboy Automobile Company in Chicago, suggested the name "Playboy". A smaller percentage of soybeans are used directly for human consumption, particularly in Asia.

Hefner and co-founder and executive vice president Eldon Sellers met to discuss the problem and to seek a new name. The bulk of the soybean crop is grown for oil production, with the high-protein defatted and "toasted" soy meal used as livestock feed. Playboy's original title was to be "Stag Party," but an unrelated outdoor magazine, Stag, contacted Hefner and informed him that they would legally protect their trademark if he were to launch his magazine with that name. Soybeans are the most important cash crop in the United States and the leading agricultural export. . Among the legumes, the soybean, also classed as an oilseed, is pre-eminent for its high (38-45%) protein content as well as its high (20%) oil content. Playboy's use of "tasteful" nude photos is often classified as “softcore” in contrast to the more “hardcore” pornographic magazines that started to appear in the 1970s in response to the success of Playboy's more explicit rival, Penthouse. The "garden" cultivars are generally not suitable for mechanical combine harvesting because they have a tendency for the pods to shatter on reaching maturity.

The magazine has been known to express liberal opinions on most major political issues. Tofu and soymilk producers prefer the higher protein cultivars bred from vegetable soybeans originally brought to the United States in the late 1930s. Clarke as well. Vegetable types cook more easily, have a mild nutty flavor, better texture, are larger in size, higher in protein, and lower in oil than field types. The magazine is published monthly and features photographs of nude women, along with various articles on fashion, sports, consumer goods, and public figures, and often short fiction by top literary writers, such as Arthur C. Soybeans can be broadly classified as "vegetable" (garden) or field (oil) types. In addition to the flagship magazine in the United States, special nation-specific versions of Playboy are published worldwide. Peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes or other plants that would replenish the soil with nitrogen and minerals were planted for two years and then cotton on the third year.

Playboy is one of the world's best known brands. He also encouraged farmers to use crop rotation. Playboy is an adult entertainment magazine, founded in 1953 by Hugh Hefner and his associates, which has grown into Playboy Enterprises, Inc., reaching into every form of media. The first research on soybeans in the United States was conducted by George Washington Carver at Tuskeegee, Alabama, but he decided it was too exotic a crop for the poor black farmers of the South so he turned his attention to peanuts. Ukraine (2005—). Environmental groups, such as Greenpeace and the WWF, have reported that soybean cultivation and the threat to increase soybean cultivation in Brazil is destroying huge areas of Amazon rainforest and encouraging deforestation. Turkey (1986–1995). Other leading producers are Brazil, Argentina, China, Japan, and India.

Taiwan (1990–2003). produced 75 million metric tons of soybeans in 2000, of which more than one-third was exported. Sweden (1998–1999). The U.S. Spain (1978—). Soybeans are native to southeast Asia, but 45 percent of the world's soybean area, and 55 percent of production, is in the United States. South Africa (1993–1996). Modern crop cultivars generally reach a height of 1 m or more, and take between 80-120 days from sowing to harvesting.

Slovenia (2001—). However, for best results an inoculum of the correct strain of bacteria should be mixed with the soybean(or any legume) seed before planting. Slovakia (1997–2002, 2005—). Rhizobium japonicum; Jordan 1982). Serbia (2004—). Soybeans, like most legumes perform nitrogen fixation by establishing a symbiotic relationship with the bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum (syn. Russia (1995—). They can grow in a wide range of soils, with optimum growth in moist alluvial soils with a good organic content.

Romania (1999—). Cultivation is successful in climates with hot summers, with optimum growing conditions in mean temperatures of 20 °C to 30 °C; temperatures of below 20 °C and over 40 °C retard growth significantly. Poland (1992—). Soybeans did not become an important crop outside of Asia until about 1910. Norway (1998–1999). Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter in 1770 mentioning sending soybeans home from England. The Netherlands (1983—). They were first introduced to Europe in the early 1700s and the United States in 1765, where it was first grown for hay.

Mexico (1976–1998, 2002—). Soybeans were used as food in eastern Asia long before written records, and it is still a major crop in China, Japan and Korea. Japan (1975—). A very small proportion of the crop is consumed directly for food by humans. Italy (1972–2003). The bulk of the crop is solvent extracted for vegetable oil and the defatted soy meal is used for animal feed. Indonesia (2006—). It is grown for its oil and protein.

Hungary (1989–1993, 1999—). Soybeans are an important global crop, with political ramifications. Hong Kong (1986–1993). The scar, visible on the seed coat, is called the hilum (colors include black, brown, buff, gray and yellow) and at one end of the hilum is the micropyle, or small opening in the seed coat which can allow the absorption of water. Greece (1985—). The hull of the mature bean is hard, water resistant, and protects the cotyledon and hypocotyl (or "germ") from damage. Germany (1972—). Soybeans occur in various sizes, and in several hull or seed coat colors, including black, brown, blue, yellow, and mottled.

France (1973—). . Czech Republic (1991—). The word soy is derived from the Japanese word shoyu (soy sauce/soya sauce). Croatia (1997—). Beans are classed as pulses whereas soybeans are classed as oilseeds. Bulgaria (2002—). However, it is known that the progenitor of the modern soybean was a vine-like plant, that grew prone on the ground.

Brazil (1975—) - see specific article. It is a cultural variety (a cultigen) with a very large number of cultivars. Australia (1979–2000). Like corn and some other crops of long domestication, the relationship of the modern soybean to wild-growing species can no longer be traced with any degree of certainty. Argentina (1985–1995, 2006—). The small, inconspicuous, self-fertile flowers are borne in the axil of the leaf and are either white or purple; The fruit is a hairy pod that grow in clusters of 3-5, with each pod 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) long and usually containing 2-4 (rarely more) seeds 5-11 mm in diameter. Peta Wilson (July 2004). The leaves are trifoliate (sometimes with 5 leaflets), the leaflets 6-15 cm (2-6 inches) long and 2-7 cm (1-3 inches) broad; they fall before the seeds are mature.

Gena Lee Nolin (December 2001). The pods, stems, and leaves are covered with fine brown or gray pubescence. Brooke Burke (May 2001 & November 2004). It may grow prostrate, not growing above 20 cm (7.8 inches); up to stiffly erect plants growing to 2 meters (6.5 feet). Shari Belafonte (September 2000). It is an annual plant, which may vary in growth habit and height. Women of Baywatch (June 1998). Soybean(s) (U.S.) or Soya bean (UK) Glycine max is a species of legume, native to eastern Asia.

Farrah Fawcett (December 1995 and July 1997). The lecithin content varies up to 15%. Shannen Doherty (March 1994 and December 2003). Lecithinated soy flour, is made by adding soybean lecithin to defatted, low fat or high fat soy flours to increase their dispersibility and impart emulsifying properties. Charisma Carpenter (June 2004). High fat soy flour, is produced by adding back soybean oil to defatted flour, at the level of 15%. Claudia Christian (October 1999). The lipid content varies according to specifications, usually between 4.5% and 9%.

Linda Evans (July 1971). Low fat soy flour, is made by adding back some oil to defatted soy flour. Christy Hemme (April 2005). Due to its high oil content a specialized Alpine Fine Impact Mill must be used for grinding rather than the more common hammermill. Amy Acuff (September 2004). Full-fat soy flour, is made from unextracted, dehulled beans, and contains about 18% to 20% oil. Sable (Rena Mero) (April & September 1999). Defatted soy flour, is obtained from solvent extracted flakes, and contains less than 1% oil.
