Forewarned is forearmed.
The great thing about coming to work today is that I could bring in the plate of cookies my neighbor gave me (last year the ants got it).
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

Heh. I just edited an article about how sugar is going to KILL US ALL! (Actually, it's not alarmist in any way, but the data are pretty damn clear that added sugar is actually WAY more of a risk factor for chronic disease like cardiovascular disease and dementia than was previously thought. DAMN IT.)
t edit I'm glad I waited until AFTER Christmas pie and cookies to edit it. That way I got in my deadly sugar with no shame.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Did you see the NYT magazine piece on sugar toxicity?

Was that the Robert Lustig piece? I think I did. The one I'm working on is for a JAMA journal; it's a 22-year study on the impact of sugar on health, completely separate from the weight/"empty calories"/obesity angle. It's pretty harsh on the sugar lobby.

Yikes, Sarameg. I hope no one else catches it and that your sister-in-law is feeling better soon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Is there any way I can read that without a subscription to JAMA?
