HCD

8:45 am on a grey and cold summer day; it's Canada Day 2013.

Everything is closed at this hour, except maybe McDo's or Tim's.

What's a girl to do.


I've had a bit of a breakthough in understanding the obesity issue.

It's a study from Boston's Children's Hospital which shows that

high-glycemic index food lead to addictive behaviour(below).

Nice to know, but my interest in the study at this point would be

to better understand what physiological - and conscious - effects are

termed pleasure. Brighter colors, a relaxed bladder...etc. It's

going to be a long day in neurotransmitter and brain diagram land.


Happy Birthday Canada!!
