Or so they say: ligaram o consumo de xarope de milho a uma série de problemas relacionados com obesidade, entre os quais metabolic syndrome.
"The first study showed that male rats given water sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup in addition to a standard diet of rat chow gained much more weight than male rats that received water sweetened with table sugar, or sucrose, in conjunction with the standard diet."
"The second experiment [...] monitored weight gain, body fat and triglyceride levels in rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup over a period of six months. Compared to animals eating only rat chow, rats on a diet rich in high-fructose corn syrup showed characteristic signs of a dangerous condition known in humans as the metabolic syndrome, including abnormal weight gain, significant increases in circulating triglycerides and augmented fat deposition, especially visceral fat around the belly."
Só por acaso, adivinhem quem é o maior produtor de milho do mundo.
"Did you know corn is America's number one field crop? Corn leads all other crops in value and volume of production."
Mas produzir não chega, também é preciso consumir.
"Your bacon and egg breakfast, glass of milk at lunch, or hamburger for supper were all produced with U.S. corn."
"Corn is a major component in many food items like cereals, peanut butter, snack foods and soft drinks."
"U.S. researchers have led the way in finding many uses for corn - like in vitamins and amino acid."
Talvez daqui a alguns anos sempre se confirme se isto tem alguma coisa a ver com mais de 20% da população nos EUA sofrer de metabolic syndrom.
*SHOCK*
My...childhood heros! ToT
“Aprendamos do Senhor Jesus a não julgar e a não condenar o próximo”.
“Aquele de vós que estiver sem pecado, seja o primeiro a atirar-lhe uma pedra”.
Será que a seguir aos pedófilos, que até são um grupo difícil em termos de opinião pública, teremos um papa a pedir para não julgar, por exemplo, pessoas que fazem abortos? Ou que usam presevativos? I will eagerly await!
There's not enough, although...
Adorei este post do Malstrom. Fiquei com a impressão que ele gosta de negócios pela mesma razão que eu gosto do método científico:
"Anyone can say anything. This is why nothing done is interesting unless people are putting their money behind it. Business, of course, is everything with money behind it. I like business because you are either right or wrong where with “message forum opinions” that are like a virus on the Internet, when the person is wrong, they will still declare themselves right anyway."
Também diz algo muito importante acerca de discutir :
"With the subject of business, if someone says, “I want to talk about business, but I do not want to talk about sales,” you can safely ignore such a person. My point is that there is a difference between thinking and a difference between knowing. When people know things, such as their “Hamlet”, they will result in an interesting discussion and debate over the matter. If people started to discuss “Hamlet” based on their ‘thoughts’ and not knowing about the material, all you get is noise."
Ok...hoje estava a cantar isto em alto bom som com as janelas abertas e a minha vizinha que tinha estacionado à minha frente olhou para mim e fez um sorrisinho...o que é que fiz? Corei e...
Sorri de volta!
Feliz...se possível! Se não, façam como eu e apreciem os pais dos outros!
Whenever life gets you down Mrs. Brown:
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff!!
Sing along now!
