Flogging a knackered horse, metaphorically-speaking.

Q. What do you get when you flog a knackered horse?
A dead horse.
A. A dead horse. Like, duh! However, some people do this to themselves.

Coffee is a Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulant. A coffee first thing in the morning after getting out of bed gives you "get up and go". What happens if you carry on drinking coffees or "Energy Drinks" throughout the day? Guess!

PROLONGED MEAT DIETS WITH A STUDY OF KIDNEY FUNCTION AND KETOSIS.

BY WALTER S. MCCLELLAN AND EUGENE F. Du BOIS.
It's the 1 year study on Vilhjalmur Stefansson and K. Andersen at Bellevue Hospital.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson
See http://www.jbc.org/content/87/3/651.full.pdf The reason why I'm posting this is because of what Stefansson and Andersen drank. I was under the impression that the men drank water only. That was not the case. They drank coffee, black tea, meat broths and water. Black tea is high in tannins, which bind somewhat to haem iron and very strongly to non-haem iron.

Therefore, if you like to eat lots of red meat but you don't like your greens (not even a tablespoonful of spinach), drink strong black tea or eat foods rich in phytates and/or calcium. Vitamin E supplements also help. See Red meat and colon cancer: should we become vegetarians, or can we make meat safer?

Coffee and brrrup-brrrap!

For those who have no idea what the title means, see Memorable quotes for How to Murder Your Wife (1965)

When I woke up this morning, I felt a bit "blech". I wasn't coming down with anything nasty. I just drank too much coffee yesterday! Coffee contains caffeine , which is a Central Nervous System stimulant. This gives you a brrrup (extra alertness & energy).

Sadly, what goes up eventually comes down, giving you a brrrap (feeling like crap, headachey).

Here's some soothing music for those of you who are "coming down" from caffeine or any other stimulant.
