A large item on any dieter's list of "do not eat" foods should clearly be anything that contains high fructose corn syrup. This sweetener is cheaper, sweeter and easier to mix than sugar and has been increasingly used by processed food companies over the last couple of decades to cut manufacturing costs. High fructose corn syrup costs a fraction of the price of table sugar. Many people believe that the rise in use of high fructose corn syrup has...more

I read an article in the UK press a little while ago which referred to a rather unusual use of hypnosis in the area of weight loss. Most people who have used weight loss hypnosis will be aware that the most usual type of suggestion centers around the changing of habits - eating more slowly, only eating when seated at a meal table, etc - with additional suggestions aimed at altering taste preferences and motivation to exercise. This, broadly speaking, is what we are used to in terms of successful weight loss hypnosis.This article referred to something quite different, although clearly equally effective. The subject was given suggestions not to feel less hungry or to change habits, but instead to believe that they had undergone surgery; to believe that their stomach size had been reduced with the insertion of what is called the "gastric band", so that effectively their stomach size had been reduced and that they could now only eat small meals. They could simply not eat too much - it is impossible after this type of intervention.Although the type of suggestion is very different, the result is the same. The subject ate less at meal times and lost weight very effectively. I was not at...more

The Number of Cells that Fix Fat Remains Constant Throughout Life. PARIS - The number of specialized cells in the storage of lipids, or adipocytes, defined in childhood, remains constant throughout life, according to a study published in the British scientific journal "Nature". They are renewed by almost 10% every year. A team of researchers led by Kirsty Spalding of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, found that the two main determinants of weight are the number of adipocytes and their size. However, by investigating cells originating from liposuction or abdominal reconstruction, the researchers were able to sustain that after childhood, the number of adipocytes remains constant in adults, with a regular renewal of about 10% annually. Cell Substitution"The total number of fat cells in the body is stable since the production of new cells is offset by an equal loss of cells that die," said Peter Arner, the co-author of the research. Thus, a reduction of weight in adulthood only reduces the mass of cells, which is quickly recovered by new ones. "The new fat cells that lay down fat which is generated during and after weight reduction need to quickly grow in lipids," notes Peter...more
