Cannabinoids Studied as Type 2 Diabetes Treatment

[Northerner]

For patients with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) reduces fasting plasma glucose, and improves pancreatic β-cell function, adiponectin, and apolipoprotein A, according to a study published online in Diabetes Care.

Khalid A. Jadoon, from the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, and colleagues conducted a randomized study involving 62 individuals with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes to examine the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) and THCV.

And now, another stunning finding.

Scientists at University College, London have discovered, or rather proven, that cannabis use "reduces motivation", showing that cannabis users show less motivation to work for money while intoxicated.

I understand their next study is into Bears' toilet habits.

I don't know about the study but might respectfully suggest that the conclusion will be 'Cos they can' 😉

Bears' toilet

Yes they do s**t in the woods..... I have seen their scat!!!!

The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter.
They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge.
Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear's sensitive nose and it will run away.
It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.
Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper

I can vouch for those bells, I haven't been attacked by a bear in years. The elephant dust on the doorstep has kept them away, too.
