Myth Busting 101 Dr. Rene Asselin's new Health Blog Myth: Chocolate contains NO caffeine. Contrary to what many may wish to believe, cocoa / chocolate does contain small amounts of caffeine. Additionally, you may have heard chocolate evangelists claiming that it’s an “ALL-NATURAL” form of caffeine. Well, yes it is a natural form of caffeine, but so is guaranine found in guarana, mateine found in mate, and theine found in tea leaves. The basic chemical structure is still indistinguishable. However, the synergistic relationship will differ from one source of caffeine to another. AND, just because something is “ALL-NATURAL” does not guarantee that it’s healthy, safe, etc. >learn more ................................................... Chiropractors don't raise stroke risk study says: CAROLINE ALPHONSO From Saturday's Globe and Mail January 19, 2008 at 12:53 AM EST TORONTO — A Canadian study indicates there is no increased risk related to chiropractic treatment in the heated debate about whether neck adjustments can trigger a rare type of stroke. Researchers say patients are no more likely to suffer a stroke following a visit to a chiropractor than they would after stepping into their family doctor's office. The findings, published today in the journal Spine, help shed light on earlier studies that had cast a cloud on the chiropractic profession and suggested that their actions resulted in some patients suffering a stroke after treatment. “We didn't see any increased association between chiropractic care and usual family physician care, and the stroke,” said Frank Silver, one of the researchers and also a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto and director of the University Health Network stroke program. read on....

Are artificial sweeteners making you FAT? Recent literature in the Journal of Behavior Neuroscience examined the role that sweet taste has on predicting the caloric content of food. Researchers suggested that "animals may use sweet taste to predict the caloric contents of food. Eating sweet, non-caloric substances may degrade this predictive relationship, leading to positive energy balance through increased food intake and / or diminished energy expenditure". SO WHAT DID THE RESEARCHERS FIND? The results of this study demonstrated that rats who where given non-caloric sweeteners exhibited greater caloric intake, greater body weight gain, increased adiposity, impaired ability to compensate for the calories contained in novel sweet food by eating less during subsequent test meal, and a smaller increment in core body temperature following consumption of a novel, sweetened high calorie food. Researchers suggested that this may help to explain the growing trend in obesity. The increased consumption of non-caloric / calorie free sweetened beverages, snacks, and foods may be messing up our ability to predict our caloric intake and may help to explain the growing obesity trends we see in humans today? Take home message from the study: If you're a rat, don't consume artificial sweeteners! All kidding aside, more human trials would be needed to confirm these findings. However, the results seem to be consistent with some previous research done on animals. read on......
