HAVANA， May 27 (Xinhua) -- A mission of the U.S. Conference of Mayors promised here on Thursday to advocate ending the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba， which has crippled the island's economy for more than five decades and remains in place despite the two countries' rapprochement.


Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake， the president of the conference which groups mayors of more than a hundred U.S. cities， admitted that his organization has not yet finalized a common position on this matter.


"We are in Cuba today representing our nation's mayors as a first step towards determining how we can collaborate with our counterparts here in Cuba to strengthen the economic vitality of both of our nations，" Rawlings-Blake said.


He said the conference has long been committed to building and sustaining relationships with its international colleagues and Cuba is no exception to that rule.


The visit comes after the two countries agreed to end half a century of hostility and restore diplomatic ties in December 2014.


However， about one year and a half on， Havana is still waiting for Washington to show its true sincerity in changing tack in Cuba， particularly to lift its trade embargo on Cuba.


Though the 2014 agreement between Cuba and the United States has been hailed as "historic，" many political observers say that the outcome of the rapprochement with the United States for Cuba has been close to nil， unless one believes that allowing a few more American travelers to Havana to bring back a handful of cigars will have a decisive impact on the island's economy.


Daniel Patrick Welch， a Boston-based political analyst， even said in an interview in March that the United States is not honest in normalizing relations with Cuba， and it is almost certainly laying the groundwork for a "color revolution" in the Latin American nation.


"The United States has no intentions of ending the Cold War in any form whatsoever. It is ramping it up， and restarting the Cold War 2.0 all around the world， and that includes Latin America，" said Welch.

The most dreaded word in many dieter芒鈧劉s vocabulary is 芒鈧渇at芒鈧劉. It is not uncommon to hear a dieter discuss their avoidance of eating fat as if it were something thoroughly unwholesome Rush John Johnson Jersey , or even life-threatening, like an allergen, or a contagious disease. In one way, this impassioned hatred of fat is positive. It reflects a generally understood medical truth that overindulging in fat-rich foods often causes unwanted, and unhealthy Rush Cooper Kupp Jersey , weight gain. However, in another way, this fat-phobia is potentially dangerous, because awareness of fat is not enough; an understanding of how fat influences weight gain and overall health is required. Unfortunately, those who dread and avoid all fat 芒鈧揳s a rule芒鈧?are overlooking an important difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat.Saturated fat is often the real culprit when it comes to unwanted Rush Gerald Everett Jersey , and potentially unhealthy, weight gain. These types of fats, which are solid at room temperature, initiate the production of LDL cholesterol, or 芒鈧揵ad cholesterol芒鈧? In addition to weight gain Rush Todd Gurley II Jersey , as cholesterol increases, so does the risk of heart disease. In fact, saturated fats increase LDL cholesterol disproportionately more than dietary cholesterol itself; that is how powerfully bad it is to the human body[i]. Dreading and avoiding this kind of fat is therefore quite intelligent. Some dieters, however, are motivated less by concerns about high cholesterol and heart disease than they are about cosmetic weight gain. This is not a criticism; the adverse health effects of excess weight are well documented Women's Jamon Brown Jersey , as are the emotional traumas and social stigmas that tragically affect tens of millions of overweight people, especially children[ii]. Unquestionably, an excess intake of saturated fat is linked to weight gain. This is because a fat gram contains more than twice the amount of calories as a protein gram 芒鈧€?9 calories versus 4 calories[iii]. As a result, dieters can eat more than twice as many protein grams as fat grams to achieve the same amount of caloric intake. For dieters who are steadfastly watching every calorie, this 125% calorie difference between protein and fat can have an enormous impact. Fat cells Women's Rob Havenstein Jersey , once created, cannot be removed[1]; they can only be made smaller through the body芒鈧劉s metabolic calorie-burning process[iv]. Since an individual芒鈧劉s rate of metabolism is determined largely by genetics, a dieter with a slower than average metabolism will spend months, perhaps even years longer struggling to shrink fat cells then would his or her metabolically-gifted counterpart[v]. It is quite easy to understand, based on the above discussion Women's Tyler Higbee Jersey , why the very idea of fat is dreaded by dieters; both because of the health hazards it poses, and its capacity to create excess fat cells. And it is just as easy to understand why many people are so afraid of consuming this kind of fat that they strive to remove all fat from their diet. This, however, is a large nutritional oversight. Fat is a macronutrient that the body requires for a number of important functions. Fat is a source of energy. It helps keep the body warm, it aids in the absorption of some vitamins Women's Jared Goff Jersey , and helps regulate the proper functioning of the brain and nervous system[vi]. This appears, however, to be a contradiction.On the one hand there are health and weight gain hazards associated with fat, and on the other hand, there are proven health benefits associated with fat. How can this be? The answer is easily understood when we differentiate between the two types of fat: saturated and unsaturated. The kind of fat associated with health hazards is the former; the kind that the body needs and uses effectively is the latter.There are two sub-types of unsaturated fat: polysaturated fat Women's Samson Ebukam Jersey , and monosaturated fat. Popular foods that contain polysaturated fat include safflowe.
