Very interesting facts. Fortunately I don’t like sweets or sodas. Maybe a couple per year. If I want to lose weight I drop my calorie intake by just 500 per day. That’s 3500 calories a week = 1 pound. Add it back when you’re at desired weight. The key is burning more than I eat.
Not scientific but it works for me.
I love your posts neverdem. Do you have a ping list?
I have about a dozen of them. I added you to my first one, health & science. They also get pinged to what I think are noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs. Included in that latter category are articles about policies such as Obamacare, stem cells and regenerative medicine and anthropogenic global warming(AGW). I'm a sceptic about Obamacare, embryonic stem cells and AGW.
If that's too broad for you, I keep separate lists for stem cell/regenerative medicine, a combined list for either microbiology or immunology, and one for all kinds of diabetes. Finally, I keep some state specific lists: CA, CO, CT, Il, NJ, PA and NY, my home state.
FReepmail me if you want to change being on the health & science list to any of the others.
P.S. Thanks for the compliment.
