I just woke up...about to take cruise with the family...feel like I haven't missed a thing  looking forward to the H&S pattern playing/finishing out here over the next month or two....nice to see they couldn't cover squat with these lows...bring on the Caribbean doubt I'll be missing much back on the mainland Liane, hope to join in on some of that chocolate once I can get my script filled when I get back Recommended by Health Diabetes Prevention Chocolate Could Control Diabetes A new lab study yields sweet results By Nick Tate for NewsMaxHealth.com It may sound counterintuitive, but Penn State researchers are reporting that a few cups of hot cocoa—or other forms of chocolate—may actually help obese people control diabetes and other inflammation-related diseases, based on a new study of mice. The study, published online in the European Journal of Nutrition, found laboratory mice fed cocoa as part of a high-fat diet experienced less obesity-related inflammation than those on the same diet without the supplement. Lead researcher Joshua Lambert, associate professor of food science at Penn State, said the mice ate the human equivalent of 10 tablespoons of cocoa powder—about four or five cups of hot cocoa—during a 10-week period. The results showed several indicators of inflammation and diabetes in the mice fed the cocoa were much lower and almost identical to those in mice fed a healthier low-fat diet. For example, the cocoa-eating mice had about 27 percent lower plasma insulin levels—signaling the presence of diabetes—than the other mice. "What surprised me was the magnitude of the effect," Lambert said. "There wasn't as big of an effect on the body weight as we expected, but I was surprised at the dramatic reduction of inflammation and fatty liver disease." The researchers also found cocoa reduced the levels of liver triglycerides in mice by about 32 percent. Elevated triglyceride levels are a sign of fatty liver disease and are related to inflammation and diabetes. "Most obesity researchers tend to steer clear of chocolate because it is high in fat, high in sugar and is usually considered an indulgence," Lambert said. "However, cocoa powder is low in fat and low in sugar. We looked at cocoa because it contains a lot of polyphenolic compounds, so it is analogous to things like green tea and wine, which researchers have been studying for some of their health benefits." The study was funded, in part, by the National Institutes of Health. This story originally appeared on NewsmaxHealth.com: Penn State Researchers: Chocolate Controls Diabetes |

The other days I eat the 10 power foods, and work-out 1 and 1/2 hours everyday. But every night I have a glass of red wine and a little chocolate! |

I was breaking out massive doses of chocolate! I am an emotional eater myself. Pizza is my choice. I guess I must eat worms, myself, cuz when the market does stuff like this, I go ostrich-style. If I'd have been watching at the opening, who knows what I might have panic sold, then bought back when we recovered, only to get squashed again. For me, generally best to do nothing. |

What really sucks is how good some of the recent Ben & Jerry's flavors are. It's been, like, decades since the last time I was addicted to B&J's.... (hint, anything with a fudge core for starters!)

America loves being fat Interesting but we didn't become fat until the fad of eschewing fat was pushed upon us by the FDA when it adopted the junk science research to eliminate fat from our diet. |

I agree. Fat is essential to your diet. However it should only make up a certain amount of your macros and thats where people don't understand how to eat properly. My mother will put a slice of avocado on a cheese burger using 70/30 beef and goes but its good fat.....lol What did I see the other day, I think it was like an Entamens Cookie flavor coffee creamer. I was like christ. America is disgusting |
