Experimental chipmunks were made to drink Coca-Cola from a straw ....   Just kidding. That's not the research study. Although, you know what's funny, is that IF I said that there were some research design that did this, we wouldn't doubt it!!   Back to reality. What researchers actually did show in this article is the relationship between Fructose-sweetened beverages and the development of Metabolic Syndrome. 
  My morning audio podcast on this is here.
  From the article: "Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a condition characterised by central obesity, hypertension, and disturbed glucose and insulin metabolism. The syndrome has been linked to increased risks of both type 2 diabetes and CVD."   We are told many conflicting things by research science, by the corn growers association (gee, I wonder what they're going to tell us to do), and by novel diet theories that will certainly bombard anew us each January.   For you and me, however, we should rely on some long overdue common sense. Eat food. That goes for your drinks as well. If there needs to be a research study to determine whether or not its SAFE FOR YOU (hello?), perhaps the best first-pass solution is to just back up and consume things that we know are safe.   Help us change the culture of health.

 Good morning everyone!!

I read this article and it had that wonderful mixture of grossness and fascination, so I just had to pass it along to you all.  

It's all about the various Halloween Horrors that medical research is looking at ... for our own health!! 

My iTunes podcast on the Horrors, the Horrors (apologies to all except those who know "Apocalypse Now") is here ...

Have a great day today.
Will
