How did I get so FAT? Written by Dr. Jeff Banas

Now think about what happens if you suddenly started drinking two additional sodas a day. What about those big gulps that are size of your head? I am not just picking on sodas. It could be one additional doughnut, cookie, or piece candy. Those little thinks add up. The good news is that that 3500 number also works other way. Lets say you are drinking three sodas a day and you weight is stable. If you cut back to two sodas a day, assuming that is 100 calories, every 35 days you would lose one pound. That means you could possible lose 10 pounds a year, just by cutting back a little. Remember this next time you that one extra cookie.

HARVEST: Leaves are taken either before plant flowers or during flowering, then dried; roots are lifted in summer and dried (root bark is taken at same time); berries are taken when ripe and used fresh or dried; young shoots are also harvested for some uses in spring.. SOLVENT: Water, alcohol FLOWERS: June to September RELATED SPECIES: CREEPING BLACKBERRY (R. procumbens): Was used by Native Americans for diarrhea and dysentary. THORNLESS (or Low) BLACKBERRY (R. canadensis): Fruit was eaten by Iroquois and Kansas Indians. PURPLE-FLOWERING RASPBERRY (R. odoratus): Was being investigated in 1977 as a possible cancer therapeutic agent. R. ALLEGHANIENSIS (syn. R. villosus var montanus): Prickles straight, not hooked, and with a range from eastern Canada south to Missouri, Tennessee, and North Carolina, found in thickets and clearings.
