    True, but this research is about inulin in its raw state, not the state it finds itself in after being processed by chemists to make it cheaper. :) You see, I agree with you here. But the main issue, as Dannyalcatraz and my first post pointed out, is that HFCS has found it's way into almost...

    Umbran -- I am not sure what your point is. Are you saying that using high fructose corn (or agave) syrup as your your primary source of sweetener is OK? Because it certainly is NOT. And that was the point of my post. Fructose from fruit? That's fine. Honey, or other pure sources of...

    Here are more easy ones to remember.... 1. 4 words. "Eat Less, Move more." If you are overweight and need to lose? It is simple, and can work. Though, truth be told, eat less doesn't mean "eat only one box of cookies instead of two". You have to be honest about what you are eating, so it...

    The agave stuff weren't all my words. I cobbled together some of the main arguments and paraphrased. There's a ton of science out there clearing the air about the supposed benefits of agave nectar.

    I am sorry, nothing personal to Rhun... But, I am going to have to disagree... Agave nectar has a wonderful taste and, admittedly, I have a bottle of Organic Blue Agave that I use (very) rarely. But don't let the manufacturers fool you. It is basically high fructose agave syrup. The Native...

    It's important to find good stevia. And it is very strong. The one I use has a teeny-tiny scoop inside and it's amazing to see how little you need. I use Trader Joe's 100% Pure Organic Stevia Extract. It comes in a little jar the size of a small spice jar. I have also heart that Steviva has...

    promoting a healthier geek and nerd

    A fitness expert and nutritionist I have been following lately wrote this in his email newsletter about HFCS: High Fructose Corn Syrup HFCS is used in almost every sweetened product on the market today. It’s most prevalent in sodas, breakfast syrups, fruit juices, and any other sweetened...

    GAME OF THRONES #5:-The Wolf and the Lion ACT 5 Chapter 1-2011

    What's this about two episodes next week? Side note: I am starting to like Mark Addy as King Robert.

    the tablet war is heating up

    Exactly. I was referring to the comparison between iOS with Android OS. Software, not hardware.

    the tablet war is heating up

    I know you are simply copying a link, but "trouncing" is just media hype. If there are 61.7 million users between iOS and Android, this means that iOS has 61.4% share. Not exactly a trounce. Trounce is the number of people using Office vs. other business suites, or the share of Windows...

    Thanks for the tips. I'll give these a whirl and see how they shape up.

    Legends and Lore / Rule-of-Three Puzzle

    Wow, what a neat thing this has become. Some of those images are great, I even want to print out one for toddlers (age 2-4) and show my daughter that it is her fighting a monster. She is 3yrs (barely) and constantly gets into my minis and carries them around. She plays with them more than...

    Legends and Lore / Rule-of-Three Puzzle

    I like it. Not quite what I expected, but it is an art gallery! The Emily Warren image looks like she interpreted the Dragonborn as a Kobold, I am weirdly fascinated by the rawness of the Ben Templeton piece and the white hot beam coming out of the eye stalk, and Omar Rayyan's vision looks...

    DM of the rings: A very funny D&D/LOTR webcoming

    I too read it a few years ago, and absolutely loved it. Your sig quote is a classic line. When I first read it in the story, I blew Sam Adams Pale Ale out of my nose. Shamus' comments are hilarious.

    Post your Pantheon

    I'm starting my players on the Slumbering Tsar Saga (from former Necromancer Games' Bill Webb and Greg Vaughn) next weekend and I am going to use the Gods of Bard's Gate, as described in that book. In my last homebrew campaign I used the pantheon from the Book of the Righteous from Green Ronin...

    MM1, MM2 Solos Upgraded MM3 style?

    Yeah, I hear ya. I was hoping that maybe someone at Wizards had an unofficial conversion or if there was knowledge of one in the pipes. Maybe there's something on the Wizards boards, but I don't really ever visit there. I didn't see anything in the EnWorld 4e House Rules forum either.

    FRINGE #22:The Day We Died/Season III/2011

    Huh... Interesting take. Taking your logic a bit further -- and maybe at an angle -- Peter had become like a click track for a song. The musicians are the Observers*, and the songs are the Fringe Universes. The musicians can hear and use the click track to help maintain harmony and balance...
