A small functional magnetic resonance imaging has been used to investigate love. The study revealed brain activity in 10 women and 7 men when they looked at photos of their spouses to whom they had been married an average of 21 years. The results? Apparently, love lasts. Grapes of worth – The position in which a grape in a bunch matures on the vine seems to influence the production of different metabolites more than the specific genetic clone from which the vine is raised, according to new NMR data. Researchers have turned to NMR spectroscopy to help them analyse and characterise the chemistry of grape berries. T...

As a card carrying member of the “sweet tooth club,” I know what it’s like to want something sweet after a meal. If you’re trying to make changes to cut back on sweets and lots of added sugars, it can be daunting thinking about giving up the sweet things you like. The key is to find a healthy middle ground. There are no “good” or “bad” foods. The idea of restricting really just makes you want it more. Instead, think about how often you have heavier desserts like cake and ice cream. Keep the portion to a few bites. But, have low-calorie sweet treats more often when you crave a little something sweet. Here are a few refreshing desserts that will be sure to satisfy. They are delicious and healthy sweet treats that will get you thro...

It’s a term that refers to “the tendency to find meaningful patterns in meaningless noise,” as noted by Michael Shermer in the November Scientific American: Traditionally, scientists have treated patternicity as an error in cognition. A type I error, or a false positive, is believing something is real when it is not (finding a nonexistent pattern). A type II error, or a false negative, is not believing something is real when it is (not recognizing a real pattern—call it “apatternicity”). However, as Shermer notes, we don’t have a “Baloney Detection Network in the brain to distinguish between true and false patterns”—-patternicity does seem to be at work when it comes to theories of autism causation. There’s no doubt that s...

After a tough couple of days at school, Wednesday was very good. Jim had suggested that keeping Charlie in motion (especially out of doors) might help. Last year Charlie had Adapted Physical Education at 11am, just around the time he was getting sluggish and his energy was ebbing. This year, he has gym at 8.37, right after he gets to school. That means he’s active first thing in the morning, perhaps gets a bit tired from the workout, and then has a long day of working at his desk, learning pre-vocational and life skills (his class has the use of a home-ec room’s kitchen and als...

I did some planning ahead and found this wonderful site for your edification… I had no idea toilet paper had been around for so long…. but here is a site dedicated to ‘toilet paper curiosities’.  Again, I do the searching so you can die happy. It reminds me of some of the medical history you can find - so that lead me off on a tangent, and I located this site.

Juices made from apples or purple grapes - and the fruit themselves - protect against developing clogged arteries, a study suggests. Hamsters were fed the fruit juice, the equivalent of 4 glasses a day for an average size person, or water plus a fatty diet and the little animals that consumed the juice had a lower risk of developing artery problems. Hamsters to people is a big leap but the researchers say their findings suggest the amount of phenols contained in a food have a direct effect on its antioxidant properties and thus have a significant public health relevance. via BBC  Tags: antioxidents, apple juice, clogged arteries, food, grape-juice, grapes, health, heart-disease, Hearty Diet, purple grap...

When these power plants within cells are damaged they can leak electrons and make highly damaging ‘free radicals’. Enter complications nephropathy, heart disease and retinopathy. Resveratrol stops the damage by helping cells mak...

It is so darn easy to use and I feel like it is much more accurate at this point. I think that is due to the fact that the old glucometer was years aged and needed to be put to rest. Have any of y’all out there had that issue? Have you felt like your glucometer after some time lost accuracy? Maybe it was just me but either way I am all smiles thus far.

I did not eat breakfast or drink anything till mid day due to still not feeling that hot this morning, I guess it wasn’t tiredness and was a bug or something. Midday Lunch…Before eating 99.

Thereby suggesting that a grape-rich diet may help prevent the third most common form of cancer, one that kills more than a half a million people worldwide each year – colorectal cancer. Led by Dr. Randall Holcombe, director of clinical research at the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center at UC Irvine, the study followed up on previous in vitro studies showing that resveratrol, a nutritional supplement derived from grape extract, blocks a cellular signaling pathway known as the Wnt pathway. The Wnt pathway has been linked to more than 85 percent of sporadic colon cancers, which is the most common form of colon ...
