Coconut Juice versus Maple Syrup

In Washington DC, I got to meet up with John again. John is the guy I cycled with the first couple of days in California. He is also the guy my colleague Harriet asked me not to meet on this trip. But no worries. I will be back at work on September 1st.
Now, part from being a person I have grown very fond of, John has also played an important role in a little experiment we have conducted during the last ten weeks.
We wanted to compare how two different diets would effect us, and so John (to the left) has lived almost exclusively of coconut juice (henceforth referred to as the CJD, the Coconut Juice Diet) during these weeks, whereas I (to the right) went on a diet based on maple syrup (henceforth referred to as the MSD, the Maple Syrup Diet).

The results are quite interesting. The CJD made John loose 40 pounds. The MSD made me loose 15 pounds. We were not too surprised by this, but what we had not expected, though, were the different reactions those diets caused when it came to facial hair growth. But as you can see from the pictures, the CJD clearly promotes growth of facial hair, and the MSD does not - on the contrary, facial hair might actually disappear (see eyebrows on picture 1 and compare with picture 2).
Picture 1 (June 8th, 2010)
Picture 2 (August 18th, 2010)
Our conclusions and recommendations are: If you wish to loose 40 pounds and grow a thicker beard, go on the CJD. If you wish to loose 15 pounds and have your eyebrows disappear, choose the MSD. But whichever you choose, you are likely to feel stronger and happier by the day.
No negative side effects have been reported.

Monica, keep your experiments coming. Now that you've had real Vermont maple syrup there is no comparison to diner syrup.
