npkeith Actually both tea and coffee contain caffiene, its just that coffee has twice as much. Theobromine is in chocolate (theo - gods, bromos - body. Theobromine - the flesh of the gods, which is a loose translation of what the South Americans who discovered...

what would have worked?

bgerig @bgerig (1258) • United States 2 Apr 07

With Studio 60 apparently on permanent hiatus, what do you think would have made the show work? successful? I thought it had a good cast, very good writing. It was a very large, spectacular drama...and they take a while to gain a...

npkeith I don't know what would have worked. I too loved the Bradley Whitford / Matthew Perry chemistry (from back when Matthew showed up for a short arc on West Wing). The fast-paced dialog is classic Sorkin, and the main reason I watch his stuff. Who knows - Fox...

npkeith I like my LG VX8300. With the data cable and BitPim I can back things up, add and remove pictures, video MP3s and ringers, and it isn't too hard to work. The camera's not bad either.

npkeith Metformin is a diabetic medication, but it turns out that part of the problem with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is insulin resistance. That is what makes women with PCOS tend to gain weight, especially around the waist. They are also at increased risk...

nurses of today

kendimann @kendimann (28) • Hong Kong 1 Mar 07

do you think that nurses of today go into nursing because they wanted to serve and help the people or is it just because of the money and its demand worldwide?

npkeith Speaking as a nurse for 14 years and a nurse practitioner for 7, you'd have to be a fool to go into nursing for the money. If you work enough overtime to have the money, you don't have time to spend it. Job security - sure. There will alway be an need for...

ABA Therapy

redstrawberry113 @redstrawberry113 (102) • United States 14 Mar 07

Do any of your children use ABA therapy? If so, what does it entail and is it working for you? My daughter will be starting it soon and I would like some input from other parents.

npkeith I hate to be a nay-sayer, but I feel that ABA is of limited use at best. ABA, as its name implies, looks at, and treats, behaviors. If you can sit in the chair for 5 minutes, I'll give you a cookie. That is all well and good for things like a school setting,...

npkeith On the topic of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, I just wanted to add my few cents. Every antibiotic we have today was either isolated from some micro-organism, or a chemical modification of one we isolated earlier. Microbes have been trying to kill each...

Place yer bets! Did we hear right? Is Sam a Cylon?!

DarlingGirl @DarlingGirl (745) • United States 18 Mar 07

If you saw the coming attractions, you heard Sam utter, "Yes, that's right, we're all Cylons!" Personally I think it's just a sarcastic remark. So what do you think, is Rosyln's cancer really back? Is that why she's been...

Does Germany have the best beer?

npkeith I actually think the Belgians have forgotten more about making beer than the rest of Europe has ever known. They understood that something growing in the beer made the alcohol and special flavors in the dark ages, and knew that what ever it was that did it...

reclusex4 @reclusex4 (31) • United States 24 Feb 07

npkeith C'mon. Bud light is sightly alcoholic carbonated water.;-) Thats not beer. Beer has flavour, character and body. Something you can feel - Try an IPA - strong hops, big body - just about anything from Stone Brewing. If you don't do bitter well, then try...

Do you agree with giving antibiotics non-stop!??

Ambur25 @Ambur25 (1006) • United States 29 Jan 07

Here's my situation... About 2 1/2 years ago, my son went through this "sinus infection" thing. I say that, because it lasted for 10+ months! His doctor (at the time) gave him antibiotics... with REFILLS! So for 10 solid...

npkeith As a prescribing healthcare professional (I'm a nurse practitioner) I can speak to this a little. I have placed people on antibiotics and told them they should take it for the rest of their lives. It is an exception, but it does happen. True sinus infections...
