Berberine is a yellow-colored alkaloid compound found in several different plants, including European barberry, goldenseal, goldthread, Oregon grape, Phellodendron, and tree turmeric. Eventually, neither of the two insights from a recent paper in the Journal of Dietary Supplements  can really surprise you: the majority of berberine supplements doesn't contain the amount of active ingredient that's on the label - 60% fail to land within the allowable margin of +/-10% and the more expensive "quality brands" are not better than the cheap ones, even if they had label claims of manufacturing under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions in Food and Drug Administration inspected facilities, and guarantees purity and potency! In the real world, theory and practice, or, rather, labelled and real berberine content seem to diverge... When timing matters, for berberine it's not well-researched, but...

Before we tie into serving #2 of our list of insulin sensitizing supplements, let me just briefly remind you of the imperative to have your lifestyle changes in place before even thinking about spending or, in the case you did not give up the laziness and gluttony, wasting money on dietary supplements, if you ever want to send your insulin resistance, pre- or full-blown diabetes to remission. There is no way you achieve that by leading the same life that caused it, in the first place ( re-read Part I ). Lifestyle changes are more powerful than supplements, and psychology more important than physiology So, enough of the lecturing - at least as far as the lifestyle changes are concerned, let's rather check out what "must have" [A], "may have" [B], "could have" [C] and "should not have" [D] supplements have found t...

Skip the fireworks invest the money in some quality ingredients for a fondue or whatever you like and invest the (often non-negligible) rest of the money in a gym membership for the next year.

And a scientifically unconfirmed addition based on my personal observation: 90% of the worst offenders as far as spending money for fireworks goes are at least overweight. Would be interesting to see, if the use of pyrotechnics on New Years Eve is directly associated with fat mass... I mean, it could be that they spent so much money on their fireworks that they feel they can only afford the junkfood of which everybody and his/her mama still tend to believe that it would be cheaper than buying fresh products and preparing your own food from those. Ah, I am ranting. That's usually Carl Lanore 's task, so I will bet...
