Dieting Woes


Dieting drives a body crazy; I could'a told you that.

Recent studies at the University of California show that, in
a stressful situation, the level of the stress hormone cortisol will 
go down if one consumes a bit of sugar. Indeed, it is part of the
stress response that the tongue will have a higher sensitivity to sweet,
and thus the individual will be directed toward consuming it.

So there it is; someone stressed out in trying to not consume
that cookie will yearn for a cookie all the more to calm his or
her stress from the situation. Told ya!
