Yet another reason why my abandoning sodas for green tea during lunch was a wise idea. :victory:

No doubt...a lot of other products have High Fructose Corn Syrup, too....Orowheat bread does, even the wheat varieties...Campell's soups also have it in some flavors, it's actually kind of surprising.

I haven't been drinking as much green tea as I used to tho...I guess I should start up....maybe get back on my EGCG capsules too.

EGCG Max by A.O.R....highest amount of EGCG of any brand I know of....three caps is equal to 10 cups of green tea.

Hmm.

Gotta read those ingredient labels more closely. :sweat:

Dude, one time I was at a local Albertson's and I stood in the bread aisle...for a good 4 to 5 minutes...almost every single variety of wheat or grain bread had High Fructose Corn Syrup. I was pretty shocked....thankfully oftne times I get the wheat bread from Costco...no fructose corn syrup in Kirkland and another brand too.

Problem is, you have to buy like ten loaves, ne? :beaten:

Here's mine, from the New England Journal of Medicine.

Visiting the food thread before lunch is bad for health

... the new study shows visiting the food thread before lunch cause readers to crave food on a stick, juicy meat, takoyaki, greasy ramen, deadly gyoza and bikini clad women.

LOL. :hehe:

Those guys from The Journal must be ones spamming our forum with the med advertisements... :sweat:

:hehe:

Probably. We just need to find out who's the cellphone spammer. ;)

Any suggestions for getting rid of stress related lower back pain.
Other than stretching please, or yoga. :D

I see try magnesium...it helps relax the muscles and the nerves, not just figuratively, but physiologically. Not everything works for everyone but it's not damaging to your health and it might help.

Omega-3's might help too as they are a natural anti-inflammatory.

Yeah, looks for an auto parts store and chew on a wheel. :beaten:

Have you tried taking an anti-inflammatory like Advil (ibuprofen)?

It always seemed to help me with my lower back when I was having issues with my bad disc..... Unless your stomach is sensitive to those types of drugs...

I do the Omega-3 already but I'll try the magnesium. I give it to the horses so why not me? :)

that's a rather weird syllogism :hehe: .

hope you're back gets better. sorry i can't help, never had one of those before. but maybe you just need more sleep. i slept for 12 hours a couple of days ago... which sounds unhealthy :beaten:

Well if you're going to try the magnesium try to get a liquid magnesium chloride, it's the most effective...if not go for a powder like magnesium citrate, or magnesium glycinate....if not that go for capsules like magnesium malate.....whatever you do don't get magnesium oxide tablets....that crap is worthless and is often the cheapest, least effective stuff you can buy...

you can buy the magnesium chloride for pretty cheap at Pain and Stress
Center http://www.painstresscenter.com/

Just look for Magnesium Chloride...it comes with an eyedropper...it's salty because it's a metal salt but you drink in juice or water and it's dilluted so it's not so bad....moreover you can't OD on this shiet...well it would be really really hard to....most of the population is magnesium deficient anyway....

Yeah, it's not talked about often because everybody talks about calcium like it's gold....but magnesium is responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. and without magnesium you body can't assimilate the calcium anyway...so you can take a boat load of calcium supplements and it doesn't do crap without magnesium.

I read 3 books on it.
