Lack of blood sugar leads to falling insulin, which prompts glucagon which intitiates the breakdown of glycerols and fatty acids stored in adipose tissue. So less dietary sugar leads to fat burning to fuel the brain, the no.1 organ for survival. Regarding the brain, one of the reasons we break down body fat is to feed the brain sugar.

This nationally published cartoon puts carbs to blame for obesity, also talking about the folic acid issue.

And an excerpt from this story has the researcher saying your health might contribute to your lifestyle choices as much as in reverse.

Slight reprieve from the bollocks.

Nice to know there are still some researchers who consider all the possibilities.

Well heck, I thought it had been done! No one here in NZ has suggested at all that it could be all the bread, potato fries and sugar that kids are eating non-stop. Oh and we are going to have folic acid added to our bread from September - BUT they say a woman needs to be eating approx 11 slices of bread a day for it to have the desired effect which is cutting birth defects such as spina bifida. Mmmm... now that sounds healthy. NOT. Oh and your movie played over here again yesterday and the day before and there were lots of good, positive comments on one of our popular message boards. Great to see more people getting the message :) <em>Glad to hear it's been aired again. If you spot any press generated on your side of the globe, let me know.
