2 of 5 Diet wars – Low fat vs low carb
April 13th, 2010
admin tinyurl.com — Enter Dr. Atkins and the low-carb diet craze currently sweeping the nation. Whereas low-fat diets like Pritikin and Ornish warned followers against eating high-fat foods like steak and eggs, Atkins followers avoided the carbohydrates that are the mainstay of a low-fat lifestyle. Not surprisingly, low-carb diets have come under attack by everyone from low-fat diet proponents to scientists and the media. In “Diet Wars,” Talbot speaks with science journalist Gary Taubes, who wrote a controversial article for The New York Times Magazine that questioned whether the food pyramid was wrong and limiting carbohydrates was the way to go. “I got crucified in a variety of publications,” Taubes tells FRONTLINE. “A Washington Post reporter went after me, the Center for Science in the Public Interest went after me because suddenly I turned around and said, ‘Maybe low-fat diets don’t work and maybe low-carbohydrate diets are the answer.’” Taubes admits to being surprised by the ferocity with which his article was attacked. “People are more polarized on this than they are in politics,” he says. “I’m stunned.” What most nutritionists and industry experts do agree on is the fact that America is facing an obesity problem of epidemic proportions. “This is the public health issue of our generation,” says Dr. James Hill, director of the University of Colorado’s Center for Human Nutrition. “[When] you see 65 percent of Americans are overweight or obese, what amazes me is that …

Is There Anything Wine Cannot Do?
August 19th, 2009
admin Over the years there has been both negative and positive findings for the effects of drinking wine on the body. Most people already know about the downsides of drinking the stuff, so are only to happy when some good news in revealed. For example, when it was proven that drinking the odd glass of red wine thinned the blood and reduced the risk of heart attack, you could practically here the corks popping around the country. Now there maybe another reason to dust of the glassware as scientists have found that wine actually aids digestive function.
A study that took place in Manchester, England recorded results from a study that involved giving some people a glass of wine (either white, red, rosé or champagne) to drink each evening for 2 month.The results concluded that digestive functioning was enhanced in those subjects who consumed a glass of wine for each evening that the study ran. Red wine was triumphant in the results again, although both white and rosé still displayed positive results. Unfortunately, champagne did not seem to help digestion so you can put those champagne glasses away again for the time being. Also, those who drunk any more than one glass of wine actually had decreased function, so you have to limit yourself.
Despite the fact that wine has diuretic qualities, it has been argued that it improves digestive transit by relaxing the muscles that surround the walls of the intestine and stomach. What this means is that anything you consume moves through the body with greater ease and no blockages are caused.You should however note that this research study monitored people for only a short amount of time and we do not know what the effects were long term. The overruling advice seems to be that you can enjoy the odd glass of wine without too much issue and it may even be good for you, but if you start feeling unwell or find youself drinking your wine out of glass vases then you may need to see a doctor
