I've got the coffee and swearing parts down perfectly then.

But my word verification is cluing me in that I'm probably not going to benefit from the chocolate eclair diet, it's tumumm.

Yep. I definitely enjoy studies that say that diets always fail, and I get depressed every time they have the Calorie Restriction Society people on the news(=anorexics that have found a STUDY to back up what they enjoy doing.)

Where am I? Who am I? Why am I here?

- Lost puppy

(must be all the running, lack of coffee and chocolate, brown eyes, etc.).

p.s. i really just wanted to drop the F-bomb to make myself feel better. but i restrained myself just for you, Merry!

This is so f*cking exciting, what a great study! And let me know when you find that one on short, Irish younger sisters... I want to prove, once and for all, that I've got the brains over my older brother!

2009-07-21T18:22:09.764-04:00

I read an interesting thing in the new book "How Cooking Made Us Human, Cathing Fire" and on Pg 77 (in case anyone gets a chance to check it out) it talks about how the same item (and presumably the same caloric value) is totally different if the texture changes. So much for 'calorie' as a reliable measure of intake.

Love the photos, and what a great research round up!

I'm pretty depressed about the strenuous exercise thing though. My memory is already crap, and I'd always heard that exercise HELPED cognitive function. If this turns out to be true, I might have to seriously rethink my exercise strategy.

2009-07-21T14:51:33.621-04:00

I'm waiting for the study that shows that occasionally slamming your face into a plate full of fried food, self-waterboarding with beer and/or taking a weekend to lie uselessly on the couch and do nothing leads to you NOT ending up in a clock tower with a sniper rifle.

Good lord, we should be healthy, but if we try to be puritanical we'll have a high-speed psychotic meltdown.

P.S. Love the S.H.I.I.T. method.

All those photos were done by the same guy. If you click on the link, you can scroll through a lot more photos that he's done. I think they're really cool :)

Yay for "scientific" studies! And man those are some amazing images you found!

And whenever you find funding for the Chocolate Eclair diet study, let me know so I can sign up ^_^

Yay!

I am personally planning to conduct a study on the effects of fresh basil and tomato sandwiches for the next several weeks...with mayo...and salt and pepper...on fresh sourdough bread....

We could spend time/effort on things that are actually USEFUL rather than conducting studies for things that are just plain ridiculous.

2009-07-21T10:42:26.013-04:00

I suspect the blue eye genius thing would be considered moot if blond hair was involved, yes? (This coming from a green eyed brunette, of course).

Love all your suggestions and even blogged about the swearing thing yesterday. I don't just write about it - I live it!

2009-07-21T09:16:15.767-04:00

Hey - we both covered the strenuous exercise/memory loss research:) That study has been bugging me ever since I read it!

2009-07-21T09:01:40.394-04:00

High fat foods...they really should destinguish between the omegas and not. Otherwise we'll all be justifying our delicious french fries as a daily need. Or is that just me? Ok, daily twinkies and oreos?

What do you do when cafine makes your heart and bp skyrocket? Which is better, heart attack or Alzheimers? I want to prevent both!

2009-07-21T08:59:36.203-04:00

Ooh, that's a good point. We should study the synergistic (that word always seems to impress people) effects of coffee and chocolate eclairs together...

2009-07-21T08:40:30.876-04:00

Hmmm, I am liking all of them like the swearing one (I am a potty mouth!), the coffee one since like MizFit, Alzheimer's is in my family, maybe if I eat more fat I will remember things better.. now what was I saying!! OH, and FJ's last comment does not surprise me a bit. He likes to be a "bad boy"!

Thx for the fun this morn!

2009-07-21T07:32:47.689-04:00

I have an excellent memory of all the fatty food I used to eat. At the time, the memory center was my hips.

Wow, crazy stuff

I swear we can make a fortune by putting forward some great ideas for study proposals.

The chocolate eclair diet - does it need a study group, cos I am volunteering!

2009-07-21T06:08:38.755-04:00

I cling to the ALzheimers and coffee thing as we have some in my family (Alzheimers not coffee--tho we have that too).

speaking of which judging by this lame comment I must need more...
