Hi suzy - there's a link to Mercy's recipe list in the first post of this thread. Edited to add - ok glad you found it. Happy cooking:)

Thanks so much for the good wishes guys, it means a great deal to me:) I had a great day and weekend too - been thoroughly spoiled by my o/h Gilly badger:) Been taking a time out from the thread - l/c only partially happening at the moment and so I'd feel a bit fraudulent posting on here. But I do read along everyday:) Keep going everyone and enjoy what's left of the weekend.

Much love to you all and thanks again,
Sazzy xxxxxxx

SUGAR STACKS Quite interesting to see how it stacks up.

Here is a Swedish interpretation of a link to some research I think I've previously linked to here.
Fructose gives abdominal obesity and may be harmful
Fruit is not as useful as you might think.
It makes you fat and can be directly harmful.
Suspects Christopher Enkvist, Chief of Trollhättan and senior medical adviser to the Västra Götaland Region. He bases his argument on a new study presented at the American medical journal Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Consuming fructose-sweetened, not glucose-sweetened, beverages increases visceral adiposity and lipids and decreases insulin sensitivity in overweight/obese humans
It shows that fructose, and there is lots in fruit, causes abdominal obesity. Moreover, fructose makes humans more insulin resistant, according to the survey.
"After this new scientific study we have to seriously begin to wonder if it really is true that the fruit is so beneficial," according to Christer Enkvist in today's debate in DN.
Food Administration's advice, however, long been to eat at least a pound of fruit and vegetables per day.
Up and down
It reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity and certain cancers, says the work and urges Swedes to eat more fruit.
Christer Enkvist now turn upside down on the thesis.
"Fruit snacks are probably directly harmful in that it gives us the insulin kicks, including all the time increases fat formation in the body," writes Enkvist.
He criticizes all the fruit baskets that are ahead in the workplace as a nice salary.
It is disease and obesity creation, warns this consultant.

Just a quick post - have been reading an article on 'middle-age spread'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1177239/Fighting-mid-life-flab-We-reveal-hormonal-truth-middle-age-spread.html

Tis quite an interesting read, especially the 'how to tell if your hormones are haywire' bit :rolleyes:

It's not advocating a low-carb lifestyle, unfortunately, but there are aspects of it that we could, or already do, use.

Get me, I'm turning into Ted!!

Goodnight peeps :wave:

Ted, I never buy full-sugar anything but tbh I'm not happy buying the sugar-free versions that are pumped full of artificial, and possibly more damaging, ingredients either?!

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
