From Reuters Health news, more evidence that we’re getting closer and closer to curing type 1 diabetes. This is mosre fantastic news, and more hope for me that a cure will eventually come for type 2 as well. I’ll be eating spaghetti and meatballs again before I die 😉

Something quick I threw together today after I went to get my picture taken for a passport.

note that I’m not nearly as pale looking as I come across in this photo, it’s a side effect of the crappy photo they took at the passport place. Holy crap though have i ever lost a lot of weight. And while I do like my slim new physique, I have to say I think I look better in the shot on the left.

Why does my 240 gram portion of yogurt contain 42 grams of sugar? It’s just ridiculous. We’re all going to end up diabetic if we continue to eat like this. I remember reading about the romans and how, not knowing any better, they ate and drank from lead tableware, leading to lead poisoning, birth defects and so on. The difference is, we know better. That much sugar as a portion of food intake is just plain bad for you, and yet it pervades our foodstuffs, breakfast lunch and dinner. It’s out of hand.

End mini-rant. I’m switching to plain yogurt since I can’t seem to find any other low or no sugar kind.
