is an article on the control of weight. What is interesting is the substance
that is a part of the weight regulation system is also associated with sleep
regulation. In addition, it is affected by glucose, which may explain why
the old folk remedy for insomnia was a tablespoon of honey before going to
bed.
It also ties in with recent research that HFCS affects appetite suppressors
and you eat more than you should if you have HFCS in your diet even if you
have high levels of leptin, sold as a weight regulator.
The extrapolation is mine so should not be confused with any actual
research. Just a logical, but possibly incorrect, observation. But it does
tie together nicely.
