Their's is declining anyways...lol|
Coffee (especially when accompanied with sugar) also creates an acidic internal environment. The body will try to neutralize the acid by withdrawing valuable minerals such as magnesium and calcium from the bone. This leads to mineral depletion if chronic and ultimately osteoporosis. In summary, coffee consumption can lead to increased estrogen, adrenal gland exhaustion, and osteoporosis. Clearly, coffee is not the women's best friend by any means. |
| Those who consumed at least 500 mg of caffeine daily, the equivalent of four or five cups of coffee had nearly 70% more estrogen than women who consumed less than 100 mg of caffeine daily. Coffee consumption increases estradiol levels. There are three different forms of estrogen in the body - estrone, estradiol, and estriol. Estradiol is the form that is pro-cancerous. |
| 12. Increase in coffee consumption. Caffeine intake from all sources was linked with higher estrogen levels regardless of age, body mass index (BMI), caloric intake, smoking, alcohol, and cholesterol intake. Studies had shown that women who consumed at least 500 milligrams of caffeine daily, the equivalent of four or five cups of coffee, had nearly 70% more estrogen during the early follicular phase than women who consume no more than 100 mg of caffeine daily, or less than one cup of coffee. Tea is not much better as it contains about half the amount of caffeine as compared to coffee. The exception is herbal tea like chamomile that contain no caffeine. |
....Okay....that would make me stop drinking coffee!
That just says caffiene....not coffee

| This rapidly developing chemicalization of man’s intake of foods, beverages, drugs, and water supplies as well as such topical and/or inhaled materials as cosmetics, clothing, household furnishings, cleaning agents, janitorial supplies, etc., occurring since the turn of the century . . . [caught us off guard, and] . . . in view of the speed with which chemicalization of the environment is occurring, chronic illnesses presented by today’s chemically susceptible persons are to be regarded as mere curtain-raisers for tomorrow’s far more generalized and endemic environmentally related health problems. |

Hormones and Metabolism: Thyroid Growth hormone Testosterone DHEA *A deficiency of any of these hormones will make weight loss more difficult. It is important to be appropriately assessed through standard blood tests & physical examination. Sleep: Hormones such as growth hormone, testosterone, erythropoietin are released mainly during deep sleep (stage 3,4) This hormones stimulate the body to heal and grow, and even lose weight! Medications Which Cause Weight Gain: psychotropic drugs: phenothiazines, antidepressants, tranquilizers hormones: estrogen (birth control pill, premarin), prednisone anti-arthritic medications (NSAIDs) |

Diet = a way of life or regimen Obesity types: divided into hyperplastic & hypertrophic Hyperplastic: there is an increased number of fat cells throughout the body. Believed to be related to the amount of calories eaten by pregnant mother; thus determined in utero. No association to diseases Hypertrophic increase in the size of each fat cell can increase 1000X its original size!! two general fat distribution shapes: android (apple-shaped) & gynecoid (pear-shaped) based on a waist/hip ratio the apple-shape obesity associated with diabetes, heart disease, etc., and not the pear-shaped obesity |

The Aspartame controversy: In a one-year follow-up of 78,000 women (aged 50-69) aspartame users were more likely to gain weight than in non-users. These results could not be explained by differences in food consumption patterns. Stellman SD et al. Artificial sweetener use and one-year weight change among women. Prev Med 1986;15:195-202 |
| Coffee is a known phytoestrogen. Coffee is commonly known to make fibrocystic breast disease worse. It is not thought to be the caffeine, but coffee itself mimics estrogen strongly. Thus, decaffinated coffee still may be estrogenic. |
for months now...I don't which way I should go 
I told you not to go there!

2. Effects of Sweeteners on Digestion & Appetite Research by the American Cancer Society indicates that regular users of artificial sweeteners tend to gain weight not lose it. It is believed this is because artificial sweeteners may slow down digestion and increase appetite. |

He also said there was a possibility that chewing gum induced a surge of insulin due to the mouth watering in anticipation of a meal. "It is known that there are insulin receptors in areas of the brain which are important for learning and memory," he said. Source: University of Northumbria and the Cognitive Research Unit; Reuters |
| Smoking habits correlated positively with degree of insulin resistance as well as various aspects of IRS. Smoking cessation also improved insulin resistance and IRS in spite of a concomitant increase in body weight. Long-term users of nicotine-containing chewing gum also exhibited insulin resistance and IRS. Again, the degree of insulin resistance was related to the nicotine consumption habits. |

.....after reading sick amts of studies this morning (more than just posted here) it seems that aspartame and acesulfame-K increases perceived hunger but doesn't necessarily lead to increased energy intake (perhaps because of reduced-calorie food choices? i.e. more aspartame-sweetened foods as opposed to sugar-sweetened foods. However, saccarine (sp?) definitely leads to increased subsequent energy intakes.
