 Study Addresses Obesity and Night Shift Work
In a modern world with 24-hour service becoming increasingly expected from a wide range of businesses around the world, what kind of pressure does this place on people doing shift work when most people are still asleep? In a recent article published in the British Medical Journal, a team of Canadian and Norwegian medical researchers looked at thirty-four previous studies examining the medical and psychological effects of shift work on over two million workers. According to University of Western Ontario researcher D.G. Hackam, one of the authors of the study, "night shift workers are up all the time and they don't have a defined rest period. They are in a state of perpetual nervous system activation which is bad for things like obesity and cholesterol." Read More
 Women with Eating Disorders More Likely to be Vegetarian, Study Finds
At various points in my life I've attempted to be a loyal vegetarian. But for whatever reason I could never quite make the commitment, be it my ultimate love for well-seasoned chicken or my lack of ethical reservations concerning animal consumption. My reasons for attempting to go meat-free ranged from health to just trying something new to even shedding a few pounds when I felt meat was packing on unwanted weight. But according to a new study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, going vegetarian for weight loss isn't as uncommon as you might think. And furthermore, meat-free diets are being linked more often to people who struggle with eating disorders.
The study suggests that women who are suffering from eating disorders are four times more likely to be vegetarian than women without eating disorders. Read More

As recommended by the USDA, an adult should consume between 4-8 servings of carbohydrates a day, depending on their age and gender. However, according to the Atkins Diet Foundation, there's a bit of confusion as to how many carbs that actually is and the average person's ability to determine it.
But is this even important? According to Atkins, the answer is yes.
The food and diet company - founded by Dr. Robert C. Atkins in 1972 - did some research recently to determine how Americans perceived carbohydrates, including how many carbs they were eating throughout the day and how often they considered the contents of their meals. They were hoping to clear up what they're refering to as 'carb confusion.'
The study concluded that Americans typically don't monitor the food on their plates - as shown below - with six in 10 reporting they didn't know how many carbohydrates they eat on a daily basis. Findings revealed that: Read More
