Fact:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This place is worth driving into Charlotte for<\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a wonderful group of girlfriends<\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drinking one of these will make you feel worse<\/em>, not better.<\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You know Brittany (yes, talking in third person is awesome<\/em>) is feeling sick when she can only eat 1\/2 of her delicious seared tuna and be full.<\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next time I’ll take my fancy camera, despite it’s big, awkward size, so my pictures don’t turn out this awful ever again.<\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the past two years, America’s obesity rate has risen <\/em>1 percentage point.  This means that more than 72 million<\/span> U.S. adults (26.7%) are obese.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A recent study from UCLA shows evidence that pancreatic cancer cells<\/span> that were fed both glucose and fructose, used the fructose to divide and proliferate.  What does this mean?  It could mean that high-fructose corn syrup<\/span><\/strong> intake could be linked to pancreatic cancer (one of the most deadly types).  This would challenge the common wisdom that all common sugars are the same, and show further evidence that America needs to decrease their intake of HFCS.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Researchers from China say that obsessive web-surfers are 1 and 1\/2 times more likely to develop depression<\/span>.  The study was done with teens that surfed the web 5-10 hours a day or more.   Of course they can’t say that surfing the ‘net causes depression, but I thought it was interesting non-the-less…and has me thinking about disconnecting from the web a bit more \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am running a low-grade fever this morning and feeling pretty lousy.  Guess I learned that I should listen to my body and actually STAY HOME when I feel like I should.  I don’t have much of an appetite, but started the morning off with some oat squares and blueberries anyways… no picture necessary, just check out the past few morning’s pictures \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
