I guess it went well... My hearing is slowly coming back. ;)

I have to say that the real cotton smocks are much better than those lousy paper jobs at the doctor's office: I might as well wrap myself up with a roll of paper towels.

I am more skeptical of the Western medicine's approach of either cutting it or medicating first it. Allowing the body's own built in system of healing it never seems to come into play. Not all, but in many instances I prefer the Homeopathic over Allpathic approach.

I see your point. I think the mentality for most Americans is for the quick fix, since we have no patience...

Yup.

Though it's somewhat disappointing to see that they had to add aspartame into the mix.

i try to stay away from it myself, but yeah that's the only way they can impart the flavor without adding all the calories from the milk sugars....well a lot of diet food makers are switching to splenda (sucralose) instead of nutrasweet.

-In a 24-week study of 32 obese adults, those who consumed 3 servings of milk, yogurt or cheese a day while on a balanced, modestly reduced-calorie diet, lost significantly more weight and fat than those who consumed similar amounts of calcium through supplements or consumed little or no dairy. Participants on the high-dairy diet (1200-1300 mg calcium) lost 70% more body weight and 64% more body fat than
those on the low-dairy diet.

Zemel MB, Thompson W, Milstead A, Morris K, Campbell P. Calcium and dairy acceleration of weight and fat loss during energy restriction in obese adults. Obesity Research. 2004. 12(4): 582-590.


In a 12-week multi-center trial of 68 overweight and obese adults consuming a reduced-calorie diet, the participants who consumed 3 servings of dairy a day lost more body fat compared to those who ate an
equal amount of calcium through supplements or a low-dairy diet. All participants lost weight and body fat, but people on the high-dairy diet lost nearly twice as much body fat, more trunk fat and more inches around the waist compared to the other groups.

•A 12-week study of 34 obese adults on a balanced, modestly reduced-calorie diet found that those who consumed a calcium-rich diet supplied by 3 servings of yogurt a day lost 22% more weight, 66% more body fat and 81% more trunk fat compared to those who simply reduced calories and consumed little or no dairy. The participants who ate 3 servings of yogurt also lost significantly more inches around the waist compared to those on the low-dairy diet.Zemel MB, Richards J, Russel J, Milstead A, Gehardt L, Silva E.

Is sucralose any better/safer than aspartame? :headscratch:

it's a sugar derivative...but i will admit saying it's better is debatable. i've read conflicting research to be honest.

You know how they make Splenda?

Sugar is cooked under high pressure with CHLORINE GAS.

You know, that stuff they use to kill people with.
