Of course no slithy toves disturbed your sleep later ......? In addition, I hope you were not reminded of George, while in Bray-on-Thames. I have wonderful memories of the occasion of a wedding up-river in Streetley-on-Thames, in The (slim) Swan! Thank you for the review.

I know restaurants at the top end are not the place to go everyday for lunch if you are concerned about your diet but Heston's food is pumped full of E numbers . <em>Maybe I'm dense, but I don't know what an E number is.</em> Quite interesting how you found your experience at the fat duck, you seem to be quite concerned with your diet and health in general , how do you feel about the massive amount of E numbers used at the fat duck , did you feel good ,nourished after it ?

Maybe I’m dense, but I don’t know what an E number is.

I wondered why they sought out the University of Maryland doctors. I would guess CSPI pointed them there. <em>The study described here is a different study.

The study described here is a different study. It checks flow mediated dilation whereas the one in the article is a simple ultrasound exam of the artery.

They could actually see the saturated fat in their blood at the end. (Or so they say.) Let me add my voice to the pleas to do a full post on this! Some quotes from the story: "Jon's blood samples showed an obvious, significant difference. While his pre-meal blood sample was relatively clear, his post-meal sample was extremely cloudy -- you could literally see the fat that was now flooding his system." "On the other hand, my ultrasound revealed a startling change. A large dose of saturated fat causes a chemical reaction, wherein the arteries narrow and do not dilate properly. This means the heart must work harder to pump blood through the arteries. In my case, my heart was working so intensely to pump blood through my narrowed arteries, you could actually hear the difference in my blood flow." "Miller [Dr. Michael Miller from the University of Maryland] said that eating high-fat foods like the ones Jon and I did is as bad as smoking cigarettes." ""You are developing premature aging of your vascular system by eating an unhealthy diet," Miller explained." <em>Hey, I just posted on this same story.

Lools really scrumptious! That reduced endothelial function from eating that ginormous lunch was pretty amusing. If you that huge qty of anything, I'm sure it'd have horrific effects somewhere in the body (hmmm, maybe not meat tho eating meat seems self-limiting to me). We aren't constructed to gorge like that...period.
