        fuel (glucose) per day, more than any other organ in the body (except
        muscles during heavy exercise). But, on the other hand, it does have
        a tremendous amount of work to carry out each day. The bulk of the energy
        is used to manufacture neurotransmitters required to initiate and propagate
        electro-chemical signals via the electrical circuitry of the nervous
        system. It controls virtually everything we do, including hormone release,
        breathing, growth, memory, eating, and sleeping, as well as emotional
        state.</FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7925B570-F86D-42F5-AA15-0BE0606C0988/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
