Hello. My name is Charles Stuart Platkin, I’m the founder of DietDetective.com, I  have a syndicated column that’s in more than 165 daily papers, I’ve also written 5 books on health and behavior. As far as academic background: I received my undergraduate degree from Cornell University, a Juris Doctorate from Fordham University, and a Masters in Public Health from Florida International University. I’m also a certified personal trainer and I’m currently completing my Ph.D. in Public Health. Ok. A few points, just so we’re clear. This blog will NOT be investigative stories, or well written, heavily edited articles. It will be from my mind, to keyboard, to computer. There WILL be typos, grammatical errors, and run on sentences. But that’s fine, because you’ll get the point.

(Source: Duke University Medical Center) Daily consumption of caffeine in coffee, tea or soft drinks increases blood sugar levels for people with type 2 diabetes and may undermine efforts to control their disease, say scientists at Duke University Medical Center.
Researchers used new technology that measured participants’ glucose (sugar) levels on a constant basis throughout the day. Dr. James Lane, a psychologist at Duke and the lead author of the study, says it represents the first time researchers have been able to track the impact of caffeine consumption as patients go about their normal, everyday lives. |

 Another great story today about food in today’s Wall Street Journal (and no – I don’t have a deal to promote the Journal). In the Eating Out column, writer Raymond Sokolov, compares and contrasts two books: Jessica Seinfeld's "Deceptively Delicious" and Missy Chase Lapine's "The Sneaky Chef" –even doing a cook off with recipes from the book. The verdict? “Neither book offers more than anecdotal evidence that picky eating is a major social problem even in homes like theirs -- affluent, nutritionally aware, and with a guilt-ridden parent as meal maker,” says Sokolov.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist the sarcasm -- every bride (and groom for that matter) wants to look good for his or her wedding.The New York Times reported about a recent study from Cornell University which says that more than 70 percent of brides want to lose weight prior to thier wedding date. According to the study more than 1/3 use extreme measures to reach their goal. "Additionally, some women reported purchasing a smaller-sized wedding dress, potentially to constrain behavior," says the studies co-author Lori Neighbors. |

 Yes, that’s the cover story on the Weekend Edition of the Wall Street Journal. The story is about Tony Gonalez of the Kansas City Chiefs, and his vegetarian ways. According the Journal he lives “solely on plant food, a combination of nuts, fruits, vegetables, grains and the like…” Why did he convert his diet -- "The China Study," a 2006 book by Cornell professor and nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell. If you have WSJ subscription you can read the story here.
