Research Shows That Chocolate is Not Addictive

Hmmm...I am not sure that I believe this one...

People often say they are addicted to chocolate, but few studies have ever shown any evidence for true addiction to this widely craved sweet.

Rather, chocolate is irresistible partly because we know we're not supposed to have too much, says Peter Rogers of the University of Bristol in England.

Presenting his idea Tuesday at the annual BA Festival of Science held at the University of York, also in England, Rogers noted that people readily label themselves chocoholics, with the assumption that chocolate has mood-enhancing ingredients.

There is little evidence to support that idea, Rogers said. The stuff in chocolate said to be pharmacologically significant — serotonin, tryptophan, phenylethylamine, tyramine and cannabinoids — exist in higher concentrations in other foods with less appeal than chocolate.

"A more compelling explanation lies in our ambivalent attitudes towards chocolate," Rogers said. "It is highly desired but should be eaten with restraint (nice but naughty). Our unfulfilled desire to eat chocolate, resulting from restraint, is thus experienced as craving, which in turn is attributed to 'addiction.'"

They believe that the attraction is the sugar and fat.?

Is Oscar This Popular?

Photographers shoot from a riser at the Oscar de la Renta Spring 2008 collection show during New York Fashion Week.

I had NO idea that Oscar De La Renta was this popular. He makes nice stuff, but does each agency need to send 3 photographers?

Trailer Park Barbie

We have seen many versions of the popular doll, but I think this one takes the cake!

She didn't just fall off of the turnip truck!

Turleen is a sophisticated and patriotic American and a model working mother. After hours of hard work gathering carts at the Honk & Holler and waitressing at the elegant Bowlarama, she still finds time to spend quality time with her kids.

With seven children and one on the way, she recently won the Mother of the Year Award from the Pink Flamingo Trailer Park Homeowners Association!

This special trophy sits proudly on the kitchen window sill in her luxurious double-wide next to her six first place Little Miss Guzzler Awards from the county fair! Yes this honey has grown up! She's got a bun in the oven and she?' ready to hit the town!

Just push her belly button and Trash Talkin' Turleen will share some pearls of wisdom with the sophistication and style that makes her family and third grade teacher proud.
Turleen stands approximately 12" tall.

Why Wasn't I invited???

I LOVE cake, so when I saw this gigantic cake that was built to celebrate a Chinese festival. I was Jealous!

The mooncake was built in north east China's Liaoning province.

I would be interested in seeing them cook the whole thing at one time. Isn't it amazing that it didn't burn?
