Hormone balance clue to bulimia - BBC.
Bulimia is normally viewed as a mental condition and treated with psychological therapies.

However, Dr Sabine Naessén, from the Karolinska Institutet suggests some women with the condition may have too much of the male hormone testosterone.

I wonder how this might tie in with PCOS?

Time for me to replace that breadmaker. And yes, I do see bread for more than that around quite a bit; the prices they're talking about are a very basic white sliced loaf.

Adding milk to tea reduces cardiovascular benefits. Drat. Ah well - more green tea it is, then, for me.

Comet McNaught could be visible in the UK until 14th January. I might try to get up Blackheath for a look, though the wet these next few days may thwart my efforts.

I paid £1.25 for a sliced white loaf from Grodzinski's yesterday. The difference? It was kosher.

What narks me is that when I cam to London in 2001, the price of a kosher loaf went up considerably from (IIRC) 80p in the Old Bakery in Edinburgh (a non-Jewish shop with annual inspections from the rabbi, and a contract to inform him if his manufacturing process changed) to something like 115p here from the kosher shops.

Part of this is, I'm sure, passing on the higher rent in London, and part of it paying for a shomer, but still. Which is why I'm a bit narked that when one of the mainstream brands was ruled kosher a year or two ago, this was determined to be only for when kosher bread is otherwise unavailable.

In other countries (France, for example), common-or-garden bread defaults to being kosher, not non-kosher.
