High fructose corn syrup is causing heath problems

he data suggest that the best choice is to reduce intake of all sweeteners containing fructose. That includes not only the evil HFCS, but also natural cane sugar, molasses (which is just impure cane sugar), brown sugar (ditto) and honey. Even “unsweetened” (no added sugar) fruit juices need to be considered when limiting your family’s fructose intake.

This dish at Cheesecake Factory has 2,500 calories

Among the winners (or should that be losers?) is the pasta carbonara at Cheesecake Factory; when served with chicken this dish comes in at 2,500 calories and 85 grams of saturated fat. Also on the list is the New Zealand rack of lamb at Outback Steakhouse. The lamb alone (no sides) is 1,300 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat, plus 1,340 milligrams of sodium (recommended daily allowance of sodium is from 2,400 milligrams for a healthy adult, although some health experts think it should be far lower).

Chocolate-flavored formula for babies - your take?

Blogging moms and nutritionists are criticizing a new formula for toddlers that comes in chocolate and vanilla flavors, saying it gives kids an early start toward obesity.

100 Years ago, people paid money to see circus "fat people"

Chauncy
This is Chauncy Morlan, and around 100 years ago his obesity was so shocking that people would pay money to see him as he toured the country as a circus “fat man”. I find the unremarkableness of his size to be a telling sign of how we’ve pushed the limits of obesity in the past 100 years.

The candy bar covered donut, now available at Tim Horton's

81363759
im Horton’s newest deep fried confection invention is a clear contender for submission: the Candy Bar Supreme donut. Described on the Tim Horton’s website as “over the top,” and containing 310 calories and 12 grams of fat, the new chocolate-slathered, M&M encrusted jewel of a donut feels like a delicious, masochistic slap-in-the-face to a population bombarded daily by the news that WE ARE FAT.
