<P><DIV>It's been known for years that the brains of many organisms incorporate a 'circadian clock,' a biological 
timekeeping mechanism that connects the body's rhythms to external light levels. </DIV></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/200805234">Writing this week in the journal Science, researchers report 
that mice seem to have a second, independent circadian clock that connects to food consumption -- and it can overrule the regular light-based clock.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/200805234">The food-synced clock, the researchers believe, could be used in nature to help animals adjust to hard times.
