Post image for Low-Fat or Low Carb, Which is Best for You?

Low-fat or low-carb, which one do you prefer? Which one works best for you? Do you even know? Well you’re in luck if you don’t; a new study revealed that a genetic test can help people choose which diet is more effective in helping them lose weight. The study followed 133 overweight women for a year. All the women “with a genetic predisposition to benefit from a low-carbohydrate diet lost 2 1/2 times as much weight as those on the same diet without the predisposition,” reports Ron Winslow from The Wall Street Journal. Also, women with a “genetic makeup that favored a low-fat diet lost substantially more weight than women who curbed fat calories without low-fat genes,” says Winslow.

Post image for Candy Could Lead To Depression?

What kid doesn’t like candy? Not many. Research has recently found that children who have an ‘extra’ sweet tooth may be at risk for depression or alcohol problems as an adult. Reports have pointed to particular kids who are interested in sugary treats more than normal – they might become an addict one day. Apparently, these same kids usually have a family member who has an alcohol problem or depression issues. What isn’t clear is whether or not the attraction to sweetness is because of a chemical difference or their upbringing. Researchers report that sweet taste-buds and alcohol ignite several of the same reward circuits in the brain.
