Recently, I learned that crossing a pretty but remarkable DUMB puppy and a laptop computer can result in a case of Blogus Interruptus. Very aggravating.
On another note. In the last two days several people have remarked on the use of cinnamon for blood pressure support. That was a new one for me. I new that cinnamon help maintain blood sugar levels by mimicking insulin in the body. No that is not an excuse to eat a dozen snickerdoodles. (Who needs an excuse for that anyhow! Come on people priorities!) It appears that it is that very same activity that is causing the blood pressure support. In a 2006 study in diabetics adding about 1 gram of cinnamon had a positive impact on both BP and glucose levels.
And just briefly, a word about the news out today. If you are reading only the headlines today you will probably dump your EFA supps in the trash. A meta-study released showed no help from cardiovascular disease re-occurrence from fish oil supplements. You only found out it was a meta-study if you read the article looking for an explanation. The study authors even tell you that the had to ignore data to support their findings. This is why the concept of meta-studies has little value in the real world.
Sorry for the gap in posts. Watch out for puppies.
