Carbs that actually help you stay slim

December 02, 2011 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

Eat these fiber-rich starches and you’ll also reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

I’ve never been a fan of low-carb diets: our bodies and our brains need carbohydrates to work effectively. (Find out 6 more reasons your body needs carbohydrates here.)

Of course, not all carbohydrates are created equally. First of all, fruits, dairy and vegetables are all sources of carbohydrates. And when it comes to starches, there are indeed “good” carbs (we’ll get to that in a sec) and the “bad” ones that, if you eat them all the time, can raise your risk of developing diseases like heart disease and diabetes. (We’re talking about doughnuts, cakes and even refined white breads.) On the flip side, eating “good carbs” in place of refined ones can reduce your risk of these very same diseases-and may even help you to lose weight because they’re generally rich in fiber.

Coke pulls confusing holiday cans early

December 02, 2011 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

The company’s latest seasonal tweak to the usual red design backfired in a big way.

The end is near for a white can that has many Coke drinkers seeing red.

Coca-Cola Co. is switching back to its time-honored red just one month after rolling out its flagship cola in a snow-white can for the holidays. New seasonal cans in red will start shipping by next week, as white cans—initially expected to be in stores through February—make an exit.

Horses could be slaughtered for meat

December 01, 2011 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

Slaughterhouses could open in a month as funding for horse-meat inspections is cut off, activists say.

Horses could soon be butchered in the U.S. for human consumption after Congress quietly lifted a 5-year-old ban on funding horse meat inspections, and activists say slaughterhouses could be up and running in as little as a month.

Slaughter opponents pushed a measure cutting off funding for horse meat inspections through Congress in 2006 after other efforts to pass outright bans on horse slaughter failed in previous years. Congress lifted the ban in a spending bill President Barack Obama signed into law Nov. 18 to keep the government afloat until mid-December.

The tastiest hot wings in America

December 01, 2011 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

One reviewer ranges from San Diego to Buffalo, where the dish originated, to find the perfect wing.

Buffalo wings are such an ingrained part of American culture that, if you didn’t already know, you’d assume that their origin dates back further than to 1964, when Teressa Bellissimo prepared the first batch for a voracious group of her son’s friends in the kitchen of Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y.

It’s hard to imagine life without such a culinary creation that’s so versatile that it can be created in hundreds of styles, served boneless or bone-in, taste great with dozens of dips, and served as either an appetizer or a meal. Wings are now on the menu at virtually every bar that serves food, at pizza chains, and even at upscale restaurants. Just 47 years after being introduced to the world, most Americans have several wing options just a phone call away.

Burger King unveils new french fries

November 30, 2011 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

Competition from rivals drives the chain to reinvent a key menu item for the first time in years.

Burger King Corp, the second largest hamburger chain, has changed its french fry recipe for the first time since 1998 as competition from upstarts and traditional fast-food rivals mounts.

Burger King said it made the new fries thicker, reduced sodium and added a coating that makes them crisper and keeps them hotter longer.

The fries, now a bit wider in diameter than a No. 2 pencil, will be available in its more than 7,000 North American Burger King restaurants by December 5. Prices remain the same.

8 spices that can ward off disease

November 27, 2011 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

Science is beginning to discover that these herbs may inhibit cancer.

As a registered dietitian and associate nutrition editor at EatingWell Magazine, I know that herbs and spices do more than simply add flavor to food. They let you cut down on some less-healthy ingredients, such as salt, added sugars and saturated fat, and some have inherent health benefits, many of which Joyce Hendley reported on for EatingWell Magazine

.Modern science is beginning to uncover the ultimate power of spices and herbs, as weapons against illnesses from cancer to Alzheimer’s disease. “We’re now starting to see a scientific basis for why people have been using spices medicinally for thousands of years,” says Bharat Aggarwal, Ph.D., professor at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and author of Healing Spices (Sterling, 2011).

The two worst foods for your weight

November 23, 2011 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

Nutrition researchers have found that these popular snack foods are the top waistline assassins.

For people trying to lose weight, here’s the good news: Nutrition researchers have scoped out the enemy. Turns out potato chips and soda are the top waistline assassins.

Everyone knows to cut back on junk food, but in a recent large study examining what foods were most associated with weight gain, potato chips and sweetened drinks stood out as the ultimate arch villains. Indeed, not all snacks are created equal. Here’s why:

Scientists have started to suspect that when it comes to junk food, some snacks are worse than others. In a recent Harvard study, researchers tracked 100,000 Americans who were not overweight to begin with every 4 years to see who gained the most weight and what foods they ate. They found that an expanding waistline was most strongly linked to potato chips and sugar-sweetened drinks.

The biggest Thanksgiving horror stories

November 20, 2011 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

Sometimes the most memorable meals include frozen turkeys, ER visits, and oven fires.

Thanksgiving Horror No matter how prepared or experienced you are, even the most skilled hosts sometimes run into trouble on Turkey Day. Whether it’s a non-functioning oven; a burnt, raw, or frozen turkey; or surprise vegan guests, the size of the annual feast and the strong feelings of many family members and friends means there’s plenty of room for mistakes and lots of expectations to meet (or, as the case may be, not meet).
