Kellogg's Nailed Over "Immunity Supporting" Cereal
USA Today
How cool is this! Cocoa Krispies, every child's favorite dessert--err, breakfast cereal--may actually support kids' immunity.
Or so says Kellogg's. And apparently, its some sort of unexplainable food magic, because nutrition advocates don't have a clue what Kellogg's is talking about.
Skeptics think Kellogg's is just trying to cash in on all the Swine Flu hysteria.
» moreListening to Podcasts Can Help You Lose Weight
Better Planet
Some experts believe tuning into podcasts that give advice on diet and exercise help people lose weight, but only certain kinds.
Boring health lectures are a good start, but informative and "entertaining" soap-opera-like podcasts stick with you, and offer better results.
I guess it's like those tapes that teach you another language while you sleep. "Miguel buys fish at la pescaria."
» more90 Calorie Coke: Will it Shrink You?
Tom Cassidy
Here's a clever idea. If drinking too much soda is bad for you, don't drink less of it, drink LESS of it.
Confused? Me too. But the bigwigs at Coca-Cola figure reducing the size of Coke cans to a "90 calorie mini can" is a slam-dunk to fight obesity.
Just like fun-size candy bars are! Here's the gist of it, sucking down a 90 ounce can keeps your calories down, but still lets you get your fix.

Spare tire, gut, muffin top, love handles, or chub, no matter what you call it. Nobody wants belly fat, it's everybody's nemesis.
And the woes of a tummy aren't limited to keeping your favorite designer jeans in the closet.
Abdominal fat can sack your health, leading to things like heart disease and diabetes, and now you can add asthma to the list too.
» moreMore U.S. Schools Cutting Out Junk Food
TreeHugger
At my high school the vending machines ruled! How else could you eat nacho cheese Doritos, peanut M&M's, and raw Pop-Tarts for lunch?
But nowadays, with the number of overweight and obese kids on the rise, vending machines and junk food are getting the heave-ho from schools.
And according to a new survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more and more schools are expelling the junk.
» moreHow Good Are VitaminWater 10's New Flavors?
VitaminWater
I'm not one for magic potions, pills or elixirs. So, when I was asked to review VitaminWater 10's four new flavors, I had my doubts.
VitaminWater, endorsed by celebrities like rapper 50 Cent and New York Met David Wright, is widely popular. But, does it live up to the hype?
No, not really! There's nothing special about VitaminWater 10, or its four new flavors.
» moreHomer Simpson is Britain's New Health Guru
Collider.com
Eric Cartman might have been a better choice, or maybe even Fat Albert, but the British government say Homer Simpson is their man.
Britain's Department of Health is putting up major money to use The Simpsons to help encourage a healthier lifestyle among viewers.
Homer will be the poster boy of what not to do, i.e. no chugging beers and downing doughnuts.
» moreEating Sugar in Childhood Might Make You a Raging Adult
Kids WB
I didn't eat a lot candy growing up. All my Halloween chocolate ended up in the freezer, and then in cookies many months later. It was traumatic.
But, that might have been a good thing. Some experts now believe too many sweets as a kid might make you a more aggressive adult.
I don't know. I'm pretty much sugar-free now, but if someone cuts me off in traffic, it's on!
