HEY... did you know that Weight Watchers Mobile launched last month? Yup, you can have access to all of your planning and tracking tools (including the life-saving and world-famous WW calculator!) on most BlackBerry, iPhone, and Windows Mobile 6 devices. Sweet! Go here for more on that. - http://www.weightwatchers.com/templates/Marketing/Marketing_Utool_1col.aspx?pageid=1118811


***Burger King is going TOTALLY trans fat free. That's great because trans fats are horrible for us. But it doesn't mean BK's fried items are good for us or any lower in fat and calories. Go here for our survival guide for the big Burger K. - http://www.hungry-girl.com/week/weeklydetails.php?isid=1550


***Did you know some kid cereals are 50% sugar? Ratings released by Consumer Reports found that 11 of the top 27 cereals marketed to kids have as much sugar per serving as a glazed donut. CRAZY! Some of the better-for-you kid cereals come from our pals at General Mills (Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Kix) and our friends at Quaker (Life). Cereals like Apple Jacks and Cap'n Crunch didn't fare well. But no surprises there, really. Go here for the full 411. - http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/news/20081001/kids-cereals-some-are-50-percent-sugar


***You know we're pistachio-obsessed here, so we are THRILLED whenever new research that supports pistachio-chewing pops up. Here's some now -- a recent study out of Penn State examined how eating pistachios could help reduce cardiovascular risk and can actually lower cholesterol -- its findings suggest chewing more than a few on a consistent basis for best results. Wanna know more? Go here - http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/080925/lath018.html?.v=101
