The Benefits of Bay Leaves

I recently read a story about Bay Leaves, the misconception and the benefits.
I was quite fascinated. I had never considered the fact that there might be tremendous benefits to Bay Leaves.
Here's the story:

These are called "Bay Leaves.

Many people add Bay Leaves to foods especially red meat and poultry but do you know why Bay Leaves are added to food?
When asked why, some reply: to add flavor to the food.

Do you know that If you boil some Bay Leaves in a glass of water and taste it, it will have no flavor?
Now why do you put bay leaves in the meat?

The addition of Bay Leaves to meat converts triglycerides to monounsaturated fats, and for experimentation and confirmation:

Cut the chicken in half and cook each half in a pan and place a Bay Leaf on one, and the other without a Bay Leaf and observe the amount of fat in both pans.
