News Nugget: Should you give bottled water the boot?

]]> You may think bottled water is purer and safer to drink than plain old H2O, but a new report finds it’s actually less regulated than tap water. The report also shows the Food and Drug Administration has little power to regulate the safety of bottled water, and says states that can regulate it focus more on tap water.

News Nugget: Having too many energy drinks worries health pros

]]> As energy drinks become more popular, there is growing concern over how they could affect young athletes. Health experts say more high school and college athletes are downing these caffeine-loaded drinks to boost athletic performance or lose weight. But too many energy drinks could lead to dehydration, tremors, heat stroke and heart attacks, the experts warn. They say young athletes should instead drink water while training and playing, especially during hot and humid summer months.

News Nugget: USDA will oversee school snack food

]]> The USDA will have the power to regulate all food sold in schools – including vending machine snacks – when Congress renews programs for child nutrition. Senate Agriculture Committee chairman, Tom Harkin says this will ensure nutrition programs are not “undermined” by junk food in vending machines. Earlier this year, Harkin co-sponsored a bill that focuses on setting nutritional standards for food in school vending machines and stores to help fight childhood obesity rates.

Pain, pain, go away…

]]> Hello friends. I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know I’m dealing with a little situation. You see, I have this chronic illness, known as endometriosis. Lately, the pain has been excruciating, leaving me unable to do a whole lot… which is why I have missed a couple of days of posting and have not been out and about commenting on blogs, Tweeting, etc. It is absolutely not fun, but I will be back soon…

BTW, I am looking for a few guest posts while I deal with this further (surgery – boo) next month. If you’re interested, please send me an email – sahar [at] fatfightertv [dot] com

E. coli Warning: 380,000 pounds of beef recalled

]]> GroundBeef E. coli Warning: 380,000 pounds of beef recalled

Another holiday weekend, another beef recall…

Just before Memorial Day weekend, there was this ground beef recall because the meat was contaminated with E. coli. Now, 380,000 pounds of various beef products are being recalled because of another possible E. coli outbreak.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says at least 23 people in nine states may have gotten sick after eating beef produced by JBS Swift Beef Company of Greeley, Colorado. And at least 12 people have been hospitalized, two of them had kidney failure.

Health officials investigating the E. coli illnesses say most people who got sick ate ground beef, and many said it was undercooked.

You can find more information about the recall here.

News Nugget: Le Big Mac taking over French cuisine

]]> As more bistros, brasseries, and cafes go out of business because of a down economy in France, new research finds one restaurant is doing quite well there. France is now the second most profitable market in the world for McDonald’s. The chain has more than 1,000 restaurants in the country, serving more than a million customers a day.

So, is it a coincidence that there are also now bigger waistlines in France? According to the report, 40 percent of all French were obese or overweight in 2005 – a figure that has doubled in less than a decade. And among children under 18 years old, the obesity rate is rising by more than 20 percent a year.
