It is well known that too much soda can increase the risk of diabetes and obesity. But when it comes to kidney problems, is there a difference between colas and other kinds of soda?

Colas contain high levels of phosphoric acid, which has been linked to kidney stones and other renal problems.

Much of this conclusion stems from anecdotal and circumstantial evidence. So last year, a team of scientists at the National Institutes of Health took a closer look.

In a study published in the journal Epidemiology, the team compared the dietary habits of 465 people with chronic kidney disease and 467 healthy people. After controlling for various factors, the team found that drinking two or more colas a day — whether artificially sweetened or regular — was linked to a twofold risk of chronic kidney disease.

i'm not big on stand-up comedy, but this guy does a good bush.

*jerk off motion*

  • Jason: I'm looking forward to Lost coming back on.
  • Lacey: You can't see it, but I'm doing the 'jerk off' motion right now.
  • Jason: The male or the female one?
  • Lacey: I don't think the female one would give off the "like I care" message that I'm trying to go for. I think it would actually excite people.
  • Jason: I never thought about that. Why does the 'jerk off' motion mean that you don't care. If anything, it should mean that what was just said excited you.
  • Lacey: I agree. I wonder how those 2 got associated.
  • Jason: I'm going to start doing the motion when someone gives me a present that I like.
  • Lacey: It's like "Thanks for the Wii, mom" *jerk off motion*

i officially work in an office

just received the following email:

"Afternoon all. If you do not know how to make coffee, please DO NOT make any attempts to do so without first finding someone to show you how. At the moment, the third floor kitchenette counter area and floor are covered with coffee. The machine was running without a coffee pot underneath it. I thank you for being careful in the future as I attempt to get this mess cleaned up!"

self-cesarean section

taken from wikipedia.org

Ines Ramírez Pérez is a peasant woman living in rural Mexico. She speaks Zapotec but not Spanish and has no medical training. She nevertheless performed a successful cesarean section on herself: both she and her baby survived.

Ramírez was alone in her cabin in Rio Talea, Southern Mexico when her labour started. The nearest midwife was more than 50 miles away over rough terrain and rough roads and her husband was drinking at a cantina. Rio Talea has 500 people and only one phone, but it was not nearby.

At midnight, on 5 March 2000 - after 12 hours of continual pain and little advancement in labour, Ramírez sat down on a bench, drank from a bottle of rubbing alcohol, and used a kitchen knife to cut open her abdomen. Ramírez cut through her skin in a diagonal line from across her stomach to below her navel (a typical C-section incision is well below the navel). After operating on herself for an hour, she reached inside her uterus and pulled out her baby boy. She then severed the umbilical cord with a pair of scissors and became unconscious. When she regained consciousness, she wrapped clothes around her bleeding abdomen and asked her 6-year-old son, Benito, to run for help. Several hours later, the village health assistant found Perez alert and lying beside her live baby. He sewed her 7-inch incision with an available needle and thread. She was eventually taken to the nearest hospital, where two obstetricians examined her and the baby: they found both alive and well but could not explain why.

Describing her experience in her native Zapotec language, Ramírez said, “I couldn’t stand the pain anymore. If my baby was going to die, then I decided I would have to die, too. But if he was going to grow up, I was going to see him grow up, and I was going to be with my child. I thought that God would save both our lives.”

Ramírez is believed to be the only woman known to have performed a successful caesarean section on herself. She is also believed to have been profoundly lucky to have put herself in the position she chose, which put her uterus--rather than her intestines--under the incision site. She was also lucky to have drunk a sublethal dose of isopropyl alcohol. She did say, afterward, that she didn't advise other women to follow her example.
