Mine are very healthy, but I probably have an uptake problem, 5http seems to help with that. So does fat, I just had a nice slice of brie and I feel much calmer about the guy I gave my dead pc and Sony Trintron monitor to in exchange for just pulling the data off it, and who just called to let me know that now that he has my data hostage wants me to pay for the power supply i told him it needed and who knows what next. <BR/><BR/>Maybe that's why fatty foods are more mood calming and are such a big part of "comfort" food.<BR/>Other study explains why I can drink hot coffee all summer long.<BR/><BR/>Mary Anne in Kentucky, thanks for explaining LIT to me, I have that too! and I agree, my first two Cs are Coffee and Chocolate. ;DTKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15747390418220178858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-58072510326263894092008-09-24T02:38:00.000-04:002008-09-24T02:38:00.000-04:00Like the new site design Merry &amp; Crabby - well done to you.

Like Merry, I'm quite skeptical, but I would be very interested in follow-up studies. I'm currently eating quite low fat, and so is my husband. <BR/><BR/>I really like the new design of your blog! :)Thomma Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12490964079393282131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-32662695230276980752008-09-23T22:37:00.000-04:002008-09-23T22:37:00.000-04:00All I have to say is that guy should ask <A HREF="http://ginacarano.proelite.com/" REL="nofollow">Gina Carano</A> if 145 is fat.

But the LOL cats remind me I&#39;m home :-)<BR/><BR/>The idea of a low-fat diet leading to violent outbursts makes me think of that fabulous Tina Fey/SNL skit for Annuale, the once-a-year &quot;birth control pill that will grow you a second vagina&gt;&quot; Loved that!

Ten pounds?!

I second the motion another poster made that people are sometimes just so afraid to be alone. I almost went out with someone from match.com once who told me before we went out that he was living with someone, but didn't love her anymore. Well, uh, dude, break up with her, move out, and figure yourself out before you start to date again....Lethological Gourmethttp://leth-gourmet.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-74403720333939455122008-09-23T10:57:00.000-04:002008-09-23T10:57:00.000-04:00The boyfriend is an idiot and is probably already cheating and looking for justification.

Ahem.<BR/><BR/>I could see the cranky murdering low cholesterol thing - when my husband doesn't eat he is, shall we say, less than charming.

I excluded virtually all fat from my diet and eliminated virtually all fat from my body and Yes I wanted to die and Yes I also had a very short fuse and often felt like I wanted to punch (not kill I hasten to add) people around me. Luckily I was too weak in mind and body to do either.<BR/><BR/>I think the message to be taken from the study is that the body is nicely balanced, and if you deprive it of the things it needs to run (like a nice squishy bit of fat to support and sustain your internal organs) then your brain will stop working quite as rationally as it did.<BR/><BR/>I accept that my case is extreme, but you can possibly begin to see where this low-fat = low-serotonin theory came from?<BR/><BR/>And, maybe I've lead a sheltered life, but men like that EXIST? Maybe I should have pointed my skinny murderous ass in their direction and done the world a favour....<BR/><BR/>TA xtokaiangelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13140441387378978556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-39279959950696068622008-09-23T09:21:00.000-04:002008-09-23T09:21:00.000-04:00All the articles are interesting and great for the water-cooler, but I had to say CHEERS on the redesign!
