Soft drinks & Diabetes.. An "Overlooked Issue"?!?! WAKE UP!!

I can't believe that the researchers actually believe this is an "overlooked issue"!

OH MY FUCKING GOD!

"Duh, it seems that drinking softdrinks can lead to an increase in diabetes... we never knew this..."

Are these researchers morons, or what?

Hello!?!?!? Is anybody home?

Please read the attached article, and you'll see what I mean. I would link it but you need a (free) subscription to access it.

How stupid can our medical scientists and researchers BE?!?!?!

(Or is it just that we are a lot more educated than they?)

I love you!

My latest video, "Cam's Japan Through Mig's Eyes" is up on my YouTube Channel: http://youtu.be/1ospZIj3Cxc. And it's kind of cool, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!

Plunging Into the Curry Bowl "in Style"

I found a site on the internet that makes custom suits. You measure everything yourself, choose the material, the style... and pray.

I ordered a linen suit (black), an irish linen suit (grey), and a rayon/polyester suit (pinstripe dark brown).

The English on the site was a little different from NA English. When I looked at the company information, I discovered they are in India. That's OK because India has a long history wit fabric and tailors.

The price blew me away. So I thought I would take a gamble and see what I get. (Yes, that cheap!) Last year I found some shops in Japan that would make a custom suit for me but I wasn't happy with the material (I need thin suits, never ever ever winter-weight material.) The Japanese price is about JPY70,000 for one custom suit. I dislike wearing the same thing a couple times a week so that price was out.

I'll keep you in the loop.

I love you!

Friday's Menu

I'm on my way to Kobuchizawa. It's Friday, Not Monday so what the heck?! right? The schedule changed a bit and we juggled the 4th Monday to the 4th Friday instead.

And that means...

A different lunch menu!

No fry teishoku today so instead I'm having...

Oh! A lovely businesswoman just sat at my table for lunch ... so I chatted her up! Her husband studied English in Victoria BC, they went to Vancouver, Banff and Niagara Falls for their honeymoon, and she oks in sales in the food service industry.

How did I start it all off? Well, knowing that she would think it was cold, I said to her, "It's finally starting to cool off..." and away we went from there talking about low pressure zones, typhoons, and nihongo ga jouzu desu ne conversations.

Sitting outside the station now enjoying the cool breeze as I wait a bit before heading into the pits of hell to catch my train for the mountains.

Ive got my (fake) leather jacket with me. I dont need it now so Im carrying it. But tonight waiting for the train the wind will be cold off the mountains on both sides, it will be strong, and the temperature will likely be about 8C or so therefore one layer won't quite cut it.

Have a great day!

I love you!

P.S. If you find some double yous W missing, just fill them in for me, will you, please? Ive done so much typing on this keitai over the year that that key seems to have gotten a wee bit... desensitized. It gets skipped a fair bit these days.

Interested in spending a month living in Tokyo? Get an idea on "monthly mansions for foreigners" prices by watching my new YouTube Video: "The Big Question: How much?" @ http://youtu.be/bNb4X9tnRzA. You can probably find more expensive and cheaper places, but I thought I would share two options with you!

All My YouTube Videos (& Jen Birthday Greeting)

I think this is really cool.

A fellow on YouTube actually just finished watching ALL of my videos (all 450 - 447 actually!). Let me say that again... He just finished watching ALL 447 of my videos on my YouTube Channel!!!!

He wrote me today to tell me that it took months, but he finally finished.

That's really really cool.

He plans to come to Japan and tour around for three weeks at some time in the not too distant future. He said he loves my channel because of all the other videos on Japan, I seem to show life here from a completely different and very captivating angle. He loves the way things look in "My Japan".

Then he asked exactly where I lived in Fukui so I pulled up a link on Google Maps (it's been updated since the last time I looked; updated quite a bit!) I grabbed that link, and then also grabbed a link to where I live now (unfortunately it looks like I live in an empty lot now).

If you want to get a good idea of how different my life is, visit this Google Map Link to see where I live now:  http://goo.gl/maps/Qp6Q, and then visit THIS Google Map Link to see where I lived for the past 20 years before coming to Tokyo: http://goo.gl/maps/OSwM

You can zoom in or out as you like to get a better idea of how vastly different life is. Just by looking at these two maps you will see that EVERYTHING has changed. EVERYTHING.

I love you!

Have a wonderful Jen's Birthday October 23rd day!

Happy Birthday, Jen!
I love you!

The Fish Oil Wars

Fish Oil Supplements... Not good.  

The problem is, that in spite of all of the actual negative results with fish oil, many doctors and nutritionists continue to tout it as the be all to end all.

My mentor, Brian Peskin, over the years has been presenting a lot of research on the negative aspects of fish oil. But of course very few people listen. You can visit his Facebook page and become a fan, here, if you wish.

Here is a very current study with humans showing how fish oil DHA does NOT improve depression or cognition as many nutritionists and doctors claim.

Effect of DHA Supplementation During Pregnancy on Maternal Depression and Neurodevelopment of Young Children

The New York Times (thanks, Rob) posted an article leading to this result.

Fish Oil Use in Pregnancy Didn’t Make Babies Smart

However they also posted the opinions of doctors who resist this, and say they will continue to recommend.

They say in the news article above that, “There’s no harm that we know of at all, in contrast to many antidepressants,” and “And it might be of some help.”

Well, if you have read any of Professor Peskins work you KNOW the damage that fish oils can cause!

I will attach two of his recent PDFs for you to read and learn a bit more. Then you can do your own research if it interests you to look further. AND you can make your own decisions, but this time, they will be educated decisions. <-- Key Point!!

Time for dinner. I'm hungry!

I love you!
