Via Consumerist
It's an interesting find and can easily lead one to believe the opinion (as I have) that high fructose corn syrup is not only not the same, but perhaps a bit more dangerous than, corn sugar.
I agree with the researchers who say that a long-term effects study is required, they need to also greatly enhance the selection size; 40 individuals is not enough and this is a study that should be easy to get a large population involved in.

Children CAN regulate body temperature as well as adults
This comes courtesy of Natalie Digate Muth, MD, MPH, RD writing for ACE Certified News
Though the focus of the article is about sport and energy drinks and their rise in use for adolescents in sports, check out point #1. The author isn't freaking out about nothing. It has been a very long-held belief that children couldn't regulate their body temperature as well as adults, however it appears that this study by the American Academy of Pediatrics has chosen otherwise.
This article is also good to have yet another expert point out that we really need to disconnect ourselves from the fad of energy drinks.

Lack of link between school lunches and childhood obesity
I saw this on Consumerist
I have two problems, the first is that both the article on the Consumerist and the link to where Consumerist got this from are lacking in details. I need more info, and neither directly links to the research or a public version of the research (though it may not be public yet). This is important to me because I want to know if part of their research took into account if the schools they surveyed did or did not have physical education and recess periods; and how do the results split with that.
The second issue I have is the overall hypothesis of the research as it's being conveyed. A) Were there really people who wanted to blame school lunches as primary or major factor to childhood obesity? I feel that what was being served on average was poor nutritionally speaking, but never more than just a small factor of the whole puzzle. B) This research almost makes it sound like the changes that have been put in place recently regarding nutritional choices for children are extemporaneous. I definitely don't want this train to stop, for all involved.
Last thing, I'm refraining from joking about this being a study with a focus on children coming from Penn State.

Blitz Fitness - Episode 1 (re-release)
Introducing a road to fitness journal from current fat (but certified personal trainer) host Blitz.
Blitz Fitness breaks out
Hi everyone and welcome to the Blitz Fitness blog. Blitz Fitness was once a show under The Reactioneer blog and podcast stream, however I have since decided to separate it out on it's own as this podcast covers items significantly different from the topics that can be found in The Reactioneer.
I will be releasing the already completed podcasts two to a week (Saturdays and Wednesdays) until caught up to today's recording schedule. Afterwards, it will be a Saturday morning show.
I implore you to share your experiences either via comments to this blog and each shows post as well as through email to me (thereactioneer, one word, via gmail). I may share you stories and questions on a future episode unless you request otherwise.
Questions and counter-opinions are also welcome and will easily be shared.
I hope this is a source of inspiration for those who require it and otherwise an interesting listen.
