| Article Title :: My Shocking Discoveries of Fast Food French Fries |
| |
| I use to believe that the reason why Americans ate poorly is because they are simply living in a fast aced society, and are misinformed. Know I don’t believe that. With many great products out there such as “super size me” Americans should get the point that fast foods are terrible for you. I remember in my Psychology class we were talking about eating disorders and the girl that sat next to me mentioned to our teacher about “super size me.”She told our teacher of the negative effects that fast foods had on American people. And what she said last disturbed me, she said that right after she saw the movie, she went to get some McDonalds! Some people know the informat (read full article) |

| When you put food into your mouth it may seem like a short process to you. It may just seem as simple as into your mouth through your stomach and then it will be secreted sooner or later.

| Article Title :: Is YOUR Diet Schizophrenic? |
| |
| According to a recent article on Frozen Food Age's website, Tim Ryan of the Culinary Institute of America was quoted as saying that Americans suffer from "dietary schizophrenia," talking skinny but eating fat.In other words, Americans may talk the talk of dietary control, but very few walk the walk and actually manage their diets in a healthy fashion. Ryan was speaking about the results from the 2005 Parade Magazine Survey entitled "What America Eats."According to the survey, nearly half (45%) of all households prepare different dinners on the same night at least once a week due to different schedules. There was no information as to whether these two differen (read full article) |

| In part one of this article, we learned that animal protein leaches the calcium out of bones, causing the disease of osteoporosis and, consequently, spontaneously broken bones in the spine, hips, legs and arms. Would a collapsed bone in your back affect your health, fitness, and your very life? You bet it would!When does osteoporosis start? Some expert sources say that the stage is set for whether a woman gets osteoporosis or not by the time she reaches 40 years old, before menopause; for a man, by the time he reaches 50 years old.Bone decline often starts way back when we are adolescents and even young children.

| Article Title :: Fat Facts; Trans-Fats: What They Are, Why They Are Bad, and How to Avoid Them |
| |
| HI FOLKS,I want to tell you about trans-fats. In our food, we find 3 types of fat;• Saturated fat, which is mostly of animal origin and should be eaten only in small amounts, as saturated fats raise blood levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol. Diets high in saturated fat are linked to heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure) and arterial damage.• Unsaturated fats are generally healthy and usually of plant origin. These fats reduce the blood levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, and increase the levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. A majority of the fats in your diet should be unsaturated (oily fish, olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocados).• Trans-fats are mostly (read full article) |
