Marijuana as Medicine for Metabolic Syndrome?

Fascinating new research uses masses of data from NHANES to find that current cannabis users have less insulin resistance, smaller waists, and higher HDL, than former or non-users.

WhyFiles on Obesity

This is an interesting little websurf on obesity, leptin, DHEA, gum chewing, and other tricks for weight loss. I found no glaring factual errors. I like the way the pages lead into each other with questions. Why? Pretty smart web design.

Why Eat BEETS

Great website here on nutrition of beets, right down to the cytokines and blood markers affected by some of the nutrients: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=49

I never used to eat beets. I bought my first beets to prep for my spring cleanse this year. I was eating smoothies of beet, celery and carrot. I think I'm going to learn a few more beet recipes. Got any?

( Notes here. Beets lower IL-6, TNFalpha, CRP, homocysteine, 'bad' cholesterol & triglycerides, and increase 'good' cholesterol and glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase in the liver. This is all great news. )
