Finally got a new PC, which should make this whole blog management business a bit easier
So let’s see how fast I can create this article with a few interesting posts from around the web.
From Science News we have this article which discusses how calorie restriction seems to extend the lives of monkeys. Makes sense to me if you think about how we evolved. I doubt our ancient ancestors managed to get enough to eat every day, so it seems logical that our bodies are meant to thrive on a diet of limited calories.

Here’s a good one from Forbes for you parents out there. It discusses the ability or inability of parents to influence the diets and healthy habits of their children. Looks like parents have less influence than we think, although certainly not zero.

Is cane sugar better than high fructose corn syrup? Is maple sugar better than either? You’ll hear many folks making the argument that one type of sugar is better than the other or is more “natural”. This article from the Chicago Tribune sheds some light on this topic. My take? They’re all bad for you. Focus on foods with less processed sugar of all kinds and you’ll be better off.
@The Chicago Tribune
And let’s finish this up with an interview with my favorite author, Michael Pollan. Professor Pollan discusses the recent movie Food, Inc and the impact of our modern meat production industry. If you haven’t seen the movie or read Pollan’s books, I recommend you do so. You’ll never look at a hamburger the same way again.
