Man, the medical establishment can drive one nuts. Check out the results of an 8 year study on the effects of a low-fat diet in this article in the New York Times. The answer? Not much at all in terms of the incidence of heart disease and various cancers between the women on the diet and the ones who were not. This is apparently one of the most comprehensive studies of this nature ever conducted, and the results have thrown things into confusion for dietitian and physicians trying to advise their patients, including folks like me. The article is well worth a look for anyone interested in healthy eating.

I saw this report this morning. It really trashes popular views on lowfat diets.

I am removing food from my diet and consuming only black coffee – And certainly not any brewed using any untested new-fangled press methods.

Try the press, you’ll be converted. As to your new diet plans, good luck with that. I’ll know what’s up if the hospital calls at least. 😉

I thought I was a coffee geek. then I found out about the whole brew in the middle, not the edges failure of most coffee makers. I feel like I’m starting all over again. I’m throwing out my expensive Cuisinart gring, brew, caraffe system and sticking to my french press until I can restart the whole system. (and my crack pipe … er, I mean espresso machine)
food? what’s that? coffee anyone?
