Anyway...

The line on Tampa - Colts has creeped up to
(-10.5) in some books (save for -10 on 5Dimes, BetUS and CRIS)...

I like the 'chasing' panic... So I'll make it a '2 unit' play on the BUCS...

If watching 'Curtis Painter' in action is too unbearable to watch (as it just may be)...

Here are a few 'nuggets of wisdom' that you can watch to get a full read on the OBAMA 2012 faithful...

I'm still trying to decide who is more moronic...

- The 'hope & changers' who pulled the lever in 2008

- Or these clowns

It's probably a TIE...

No need to watch Monday Night Football anymore...

After HOW MANY YEARS of having Hank Williams Jr. do the "ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL" intro...

Hank Williams was fired because of this...

...In the last 20 years, we have increased sugar consumption in the U.S. 26 pounds to 135 lbs. of sugar per person per year! Prior to the turn of this century (1887-1890), the average consumption was only 5 lbs. per person per year! Cardiovascular disease and cancer was virtually unknown in the early 1900's.

The "glycemic index" is a measure of how a given food affects blood-glucose levels, with each food being assigned a numbered rating. The lower the rating, the slower the absorption and digestion process, which provides a more gradual, healthier infusion of sugars into the bloodstream. On the other hand, a high rating means that blood-glucose levels are increased quickly, which stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin to drop blood-sugar levels. These rapid fluctuations of blood-sugar levels are not healthy because of the stress they place on the body.

One of sugar's major drawbacks is that it raises the insulin level, which inhibits the release of growth hormones, which in turn depresses the immune system. This is not something you want to take place if you want to avoid disease.

An influx of sugar into the bloodstream upsets the body's blood-sugar balance, triggering the release of insulin, which the body uses to keep blood-sugar at a constant and safe level. Insulin also promotes the storage of fat, so that when you eat sweets high in sugar, you're making way for rapid weight gain and elevated triglyceride levels, both of which have been linked to cardiovascular disease. Complex carbohydrates tend to be absorbed more slowly, lessening the impact on blood-sugar levels.

Sugar depresses the immune system.
We have known this for decades. It was only in the 1970's that researchers found out that vitamin C was needed by white blood cells so that they could phagocytize viruses and bacteria. White blood cells require a 50 times higher concentration inside the cell as outside so they have to accumulate vitamin C.

There is something called a "phagocytic index" which tells you how rapidly a particular macrophage or lymphocyte can gobble up a virus, bacteria, or cancer cell. It was in the 1970's that Linus Pauling realized that white blood cells need a high dose of vitamin C and that is when he came up with his theory that you need high doses of vitamin C to combat the common cold.

We know that glucose and vitamin C have similar chemical structures, so what happens when the sugar levels go up? They compete for one another upon entering the cells. And the thing that mediates the entry of glucose into the cells is the same thing that mediates the entry of vitamin C into the cells. If there is more glucose around, there is going to be less vitamin C allowed into the cell. It doesn't take much: a blood sugar value of 120 reduces the phagocytic index by 75%. So when you eat sugar, think of your immune system slowing down to a crawl...."

For some reason I don't think Hank Williams JR will be issued a mea culpable any time soon.

Jennifer said...

AAIP -- that was interesting about vit C & sugar. I've read a lot about sugar metabolism and I haven't seen that before. Thanks :-)

Jennifer said...

Hmmm, maybe that thanks was supposed to be directed to CV? If so, my apologies.

Andy T said...

MEH.....

In re: sugar...

Not sure how much of this is bullshit...but supposedly there are six strains of sugar that exist....at least there used to be. Due to the way we've bread crops, two of the statins that used to found in things like tomatoes and other fruits no longer exist in our crops.

There's this company called mannatech that claims to be able to replicate those sugar strains. There are some people who claim to have survived cancer because of the stuff. Who knows? I'm a skeptical person....but one thing is for sure....we sure do have a lot of cases of diabetes, cancer, autism, etc.....

And, it all seems fairly recent in our history.

hey CV, apparently blogger went through some sort of format change on 9/27, at my work computer I had cleaned up all my cookies, temp files, etc and then I couldn't post either the last several days from that computer, check your security options and see where your setting is, I had to turn mine down and doing so allowed me to post again.

I only had this problem on the pc, mac never had any issues

"The S&P index has fallen 19.4 percent since its high for the year on April 29. A 20 percent drop would signify the start of a bear market, ending a bull market that began in March 2009."

I've seen this comment a couple different places as I'm catching up on stuff tonight. You all agree its moronic right?

so we can't call it a bear market until we drop another .6% from 4/29?

silly, just ask the people that are long NFLX from........higher

totally worthless commentary for a trader and investor alike

also, I do hope all of you noticed that Vanguard is elbow deep within various funds in the ticker AMR, but those Vanguard funds are CHEAP, and that's like most of the reason you buy a fund......right?

Andy T said...

Ben.

I caught that comment Morons R Us...

The guy who wrote it probably thought he sounded "smart."

Oh well...different strokes for different folks.
