obesityThis Is NOT The HFCS You're Looking For - And Here's The Proof
It's the old bait-and-switch. High fructose corn syrup is NOT sugar, no matter how many times you idiots attempt to conflate the two. Read this before you read the abstract posted below:
This Is NOT The HFCS You're Looking For
It's the old bait-and-switch. High fructose corn syrup is NOT sugar, no matter how many times you idiots attempt to conflate the two. Dr. James Rippe perpetrates this fraud (and I'm not calling Dr. Rippe a fraudster, but he is allowing for this confusion to continue) by dint of this piece:
The Ghost Of Room Eight Is Back, Baby! Yes, There's More Content!
I was having serious issues in dealing with the non-presence of Room Eight. This blog worked as a release valve for many things, notably, the "incident" of last year which is still ongoing. If I had been the litigious sort - well, suffice it to say that I would have never had the experience in the first bloody place. I have never discussed an incident of decades past, which involved a glow-in-the-dark Jason mask and the D train. The long and short of it is...if I were the sort who sues at the drop of a hat, I would never have to work again a day in my life.

Vincent Nunes Does NOT Have A Police Record!
I would like to begin this with a thank-you to Officer Cahill and his partner. Now, I won't get into the specifics of our impromptu meeting, but what I will divulge is that I haven't a record in regards to the Police Department of New York City. Nothing. Nada. Ziparoonie. That is a badge of honour I will proudly wield. Why Hizzoner's Sugary Drink Ban Is Simply A Money Grab For The Soda Companies
I hope everyone's enjoying their summer. Before I begin, let's revisit the subject of this story:
City Dept of Health E-mail Reveals Dispute Over Anti-soda Ad - NY TimesThis NY Times report reveals that the city DoH put "marketing" ahead of science. My critique of the food stamp waiver demonstration project focused on the request's unscientific approach. One study has found that the fructose-to-glucose ratio in soda is much higher than thought.

Will A Soda Ban Resolve The Bronx Paradox?
Earlier this year, the New York Times reported on the “Bronx Paradox” which describes the odd, simultaneous occurrence of both hunger and obesity afflicting low-income residents of the South Bronx. Nutritionists assert that poor children are consuming too much soda, chips and fast food. City pediatricians report that childhood obesity is increasing along with Type II diabetes. But many of these same children qualify for nutritious free or reduced priced school breakfast and lunch, summer breakfast and afterschool meals, where offered. Federal data reveal that these feeding programs are beneficial in reducing hunger and improving nutrition. This appears equally paradoxical.
How Much Do We REALLY Care About Our Health?
I travel via the subway to and from work. As I have previously indicated, I believe that the MTA does a pretty fair job of enabling travel betwixt and between the five boroughs. One thing I notice are the advertisements that adorn the subway cars. Recently, it has been established that advertisers can purchase an entire side of a subway car, and you will see that an entire companies' ads, all saying the same thing in different ways, will regale you on your journeys. Every once in a while, I will see an ad that strikes me the wrong way; obviously, I need to bring books to read during my travels.
