North Dakota Leaky Rabbit Brains Protected

Let’s have another cup of Nescafe

The University of North Dakota study used the equivalent to just one daily cup of coffee in their experiments on rabbits.

After 12 weeks of a high-cholesterol diet, the blood brain barrier in those given caffeine was far more intact than in those given no caffeine.

‘Safe drug’

“Caffeine appears to block several of the disruptive effects of cholesterol that make the blood-brain barrier leaky,” said Dr Jonathan Geiger, who led the study.

“High levels of cholesterol are a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, perhaps by compromising the protective nature of the blood brain barrier.

Cutting edge bunny research in my home town at my Alma Mata.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Whistler:

Can you even say “cutting edge” and “bunny” in the same sentence? Isn’t there some kind of rule against that?

Hey I drink my pot of coffee everyday.  My brains haven’t leaked out except for the part that’s supposed to be able to understand the difference between less and fewer.

Or at least make that as far as I am able to tell.

Why I am not surprised that WOOF would identify with a story on “Leaky Rabbit Brains”?



A troll is someone who only wants to stir up trouble, not have an honest debate.  Some signs that a poster is a troll:
* Dodges questions from other posters * Refuses to give sources
* When one of its arguments is shown to be false, either ignores the proof or moves the goalposts.  Heh. (From the LGF faq)

Doing my own research

Took three days to figure out how to use the thing, but I never forget to set it up each night.

Off to Morton’s tonight with the $99 Steak and Seafood dinner for 2 coupon, A true test of cholesterol
brain protection.

Your Coupon, If Morton’s Appeals to you

That seems to work

I have one.

I cut off the head of a tiny bunny with the rusty cutting edge of my ax...oops sorry PITA



A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
