The Furious Spinner

Did you hear the Canadians have made a breakthrough in diabetes research? (via) This research could also have implications for people with asthma, multiple sclerosis, and Crohn's Disease. Scientists and doctors have long thought that diabetes was the result of a flawed immune response (to simplify it), but now this new research indicates that it is a nervous system response. This is incredible news. Many of us have suspected that these chronic diseases were tied up with our nervous systems, and now the Canadians seem to have found proof.

Also, I just got The Inflammation Free Diet Plan by Monica Reinagel. It made the inflammatory diet make a lot more sense to me, and it's made it more manageable. She has a list of foods with their inflammatory ratings. The list is very, very, very carnivore and not very natural foodie, but I still think the book is worthwhile. For one thing, when I looked up her blog, she directed the readers to NutritionData website which has the nutritional data for over 6,000 foods. Just put in the food, say corn, and it'll take you to a list of different kinds of corn. Then you pick one and it'll take you to the nutrition page. Scroll down and it'll give you the amino acids score, the glycemic load, and the inflammation factor.
