Then stick to a traditional Korean diet with plenty of "doenjang," fermented soy bean paste. That's what a study by professor Park Gyun-young of Busan University found. He has scientific evidence to back the time-old belief that Korean traditional bean paste prevents obesity, and discovered that the soy bean paste has much stronger antiobesity properties than "gochujang," red pepper paste. The researchers put two groups of mice on a high-fat diet for a month, feeding one group of mice with an additional 10 percent of bean paste. Mice fed bean paste put on an average 246.6 grams while the others recorded a 287.4-gram weight increase. I never heard of a mouse that weighs more than 246 grams. These are mutant mice. My other questions: Did they add an additional 10% of calories? Exactly what does "10 percent" mean? 10 percent of what? Volume? Calories? -- Bob in CT |

My other questions: Did they add an additional 10% of calories? Exactly what does "10 percent" mean? 10 percent of what? Volume? Calories? My recollections of mice are years old, but, I think, they weigh many times less than 246 grams, an amount that those mice "put on" on average, according to the report. According to http://www.rmca.org/Articles/cagesize.htm, average weight of a mouse is 25 grams. I have hard times believing that any sort of "mutant mice" would be able to GAIN 10 times more the weight of an average mouse. Perhaps you were kidding and I did not get the joke, in which case I apologize. Sorry, I meant to put ";-)" after "These are mutant mice." So, I was kidding. Most of these studies are pure BS and used to further someone's position. (Any bets as to who paid for this study?) -- Bob in CT |
