Going the e-mail rounds.



A man and his wife were getting a divorce at a local court in Italy, but the custody of their children posed a problem.

The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that since she had brought the children into this world, she should retain custody of them.

The man also wanted custody of his children, so the judge asked for his side of the story.

After a long moment of silence, the man rose from his chair and replied:

"Your Honour, when I put a coin into a vending machine, and a Coke comes out, does the Coke belong to me or to the machine?"

DON'T LAUGH.. HE WON

Yes I believe it is Green Coffee Extract, GCE. (But. Could be anything since there is nothing to define it on the bottle. TM, Trade Mark)

Assume that GCETM listed on the bottle is actually  GCE ( Green Coffee Extract).    GCETM   plus all other enzymes are only 410 mg per container  of 60 capsules. It does not list how much actually GCETM is among those 410 mg.
Excerpt from one publication.
"overall results demonstrated that GCE administration did not result in any significant alteration in insulin levels (WMD: −0.925 μU/ml, 95% CI:−1.915, 0.064), with significant heterogeneity found across studies (I2 = 87.9%).  The results of present study support the use of GCE for the enhancement of blood glucose, while subgroup analysis highlighted significant improvements in insulin levels when GCE is supplemented in doses ≥400 mg/day."

COFFEE | Analysis of Coffee Products

L.C. Trugo, in Encyclopedia of Food Sciences and Nutrition (Second Edition), 2003

Chlorogenic Acids

Chlorogenic acid is a trivial name used to define the major phenolic components found in coffee. This name originates from early observations that green coffee extracts produced a green color after addition of a solution of ferric chloride. In fact, chlorogenic acids present in coffee are mainly esters of quinic acid with caffeic, ferulic, or coumaric acids. Significant amounts of three isomers (in positions 3, 4, and 5 of quinic acid) of each of these groups of caffeoylquinic, di-caffeoylquinic, and feruloylquinic acids are usually found in green and processed coffees. They are not resistant to heat and are degraded during roasting, contributing to the aroma fraction. Consequently, their levels in the coffee beverage are dependent on the roasting degree, with less than 10% of the original green coffee content found in very dark roasted coffees (Table 3).

Suggestion:
Buy decaf instant coffee
Read more before buying the bottle

1) I have checked recent eBay sales and the usual used resellers and have yet to find a genuine Nikon FTZ for anything under $125 plus tax and shipping without box. Most prices are in $155-$175 range plus tax and shipping for items described good to very good. Mine is like new, with box, papers.

2) If you have an opinion or interest in purchasing, I had politely requested a PM. Instead I got an unsubstantiated comment in the listing that appears inaccurate and is in no way constructive.

I'm looking for an opinion on this Food Supplement a friend of mine is selling. I say if it sounds too good to be true........ Attached you will see some info, the actual label on the bottle. I would appreciate any opinion from the medical professionals. I'm especially interested in the claim of controlling blood sugar.


The section, Proprietary Blend, listing are all enzymes. Enzymes are protein. Is there any research on GCE in regard to blood sugar published in peer review journals?
Google search enzymes to see if any of those can lower blood sugar, how stable they are in room temperature, their activity by oral route....
You will find the answer.

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 92).
We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue.
My dad kept staring at him.
The teenager would look and find him staring every time. When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked, 'What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?
Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response, knowing he would have a good one, and in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response.

That’s interesting. You say you know a lot of people who still sell their food stamps for half of face value? What makes that interesting is that there are no longer any paper food stamps to sell. They have been replaced by Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards. The changeover began in the late 1990s and Arizona was the last state to complete the change in 2002. That means it’s been 21 years since the last paper food stamp was issued. One of the reasons the switch to EBT cards was made was to eliminate the fraud you mentioned. So you see it’s quite impossible that you know anybody who is still selling food stamps.

I booked a trip with a well known company for a trip to Africa. The trip cost was $3500 and the insurance was $500. I had to cancel the trip due to flight problems. The insurance was stated as cancel for any reason.
This was over a month ago and after dealing with the insurance company and all of their BS they sent me back to the tour company. They told me it would take 30 days to get a refund.
I called them this morning and they said they wouldn't refund my money and would issue me a credit for another trip. I told them that I'm 88 years of age and this was my last trip. I asked to speak to their legal department and was told that there was no one I could speak to. I told them that I would seek outside help.
My first step was to file a claim with my credit card company. I did this today.
My next step will be to contact the Boston Business and file a claim with them.
So beware what you are buying. Needless to say I will never book another trip with them. If you want the name of the company PM me.

Please share the insurance company name here so people would know to avoid. Thanks

I'm going for a blood test on Monday, a week before my annual physical. I received an email letting me pre-check-in. I had done this before, and it was no big deal. This was a big deal!

It took me at least fifteen minutes, including copying both sides of my two insurance cards and driver's license. So many questions! If they want me to do this before my physical next week, I'm going to decline. What used to be a family practice changed after the founding doctor retired. It has been "absorbed" by two or three large medical conglomerates, and everything has become more institutional. Too bad.

I'm supposed to arrive fifteen minutes before my appointment. It's almost insulting that they pre-add waiting time to my visit. 😂

Yes, I am sick of this practice. Their time is money. Our time is trash.
