"A frightening look at America's sugar addiction"
There are so many reasons to go cold turkey on soda. http://sobadsogood.com/2012/09/03/a-frightening-look-at-americas-sugar-addiction/ For clarity: this infographic is referring to added sugars, not naturally occurring sugars such as those in whole fruits.

My first time posting on this board, but such a great NSV
Great and unexpected. Yesterday I had to get a thyroid biopsy (it was awful, but whatever). The radiologist asked me what sports I play. I was like "erm, none, no natural grace" and he replied "Really? I ask because you are pretty muscular -- must do something." BAM! I told him it's all elliptical and biking. Pretty cool…

What delicious foodstuffs have you enjoyed this weekend?
This morning for breakfast, my dad pan-fried a slab of bacon, then scrambled eggs in some of the leftover bacon grease. Just wonderful. Share what you've eaten :D

Calling Ben & Jerry's lovers . . .
So let's not even discuss the healthiness (or lack thereof) of ice cream. This thread demands only one thing: What's your favorite flavor? I want to try a new one. Tell me which to pick.

Looking for some food snobs like myself
Hi all :) I am looking for foodie friends with a similar diet-style to mine. I eat mostly clean, organic and/or free of preservatives, additives, fake anything, etc. Lots of veggies and fruit.

The delicious that is POMEGRANATE
So as the weather starts to cool down, I need some help to get over the passing of berry season. Apples are always great, of course, but a lady needs variety in her life. Enter the pomegranate. I picked up a beautiful one at a farm stand this week. Here it is after I cracked that sucker open: I then set to work getting…

Do you ever look back on your old habits . . .
. . . and just shake your head? One summer when I was home from college, my well-meaning mother paid a hundred bucks for a three-month membership at the local gym. I am ashamed to say her money went completely to waste. I never set foot in the place after signing up. Instead, when she thought I was working out twice a…

What uncommon(ish) food do you love that you think more peop
. . . le should try? Topic line cut me off haha :P Mine is gorgonzola cheese -- the real stuff, not the supermarket brand. It is sharp and salty and creamy and downright delicious. When I put it out at gatherings, though, most people steer clear of it because of the blue veins. On July 4 I convinced my brother to melt some…

DRINK more WATER.
I have recently seen at least two posts linking to articles "debunking" the "myth" to drink lots of water during the day. I didn't even bother clicking them. There is no reason *not* to drink plenty of water each day -- but there are so many reasons to do so: Water helps you feel fuller. Water flushes toxins. Water gives…

The Potassium Project
Hi fellow MFPers, Recently I have become interested in the levels of potassium in my diet. Potassium is a vastly underrated nutrient. It's important to nearly every bodily function, yet the majority of people don't give it a moment's thought. There is some evidence that the ratio of sodium to potassium in the diet is also…
