Red peppers are the belle of the ball at any buffet table. Crisp and incredibly sweet, these ladies in red are an easy sell to anyone who is not fond of vegetables.

You’ll be surprised to learn how the coffee chain’s menu compares with the other fast-food giant.

It’s still fast food, any way you cut it

Their bread is artisan, their salads have cranberries but is the food at Starbucks any better for you than McDonald’s fare?

If you believe yolks are full of cholesterol you’re right — but wrong to think it’s always bad.

Despite popular belief, eggs are actually low in fat, with less than one gram and only 70 calories each. The yolk of an egg contains a considerable amount of cholesterol and lipids, but cholesterol build-up in the arteries actually begins with arterial wall damage. The body’s repair of this eventually leads to a waxy build-up – usually due to sugar and saturated fat, not the consumption of cholesterol itself.

Some studies show that eggs may actually benefit those with high cholesterol, due to their omega fats, protein and antioxidants. Eggs also contain high amounts of lecithin, which blocks the cholesterol in the egg and stops intestinal absorption, keeping it out of the bloodstream.

Five egg-cellent facts
