Quoted: Within three weeks, they discovered improvements in spatial working tasks and the improvements continued throughout the course of the study.

Quoted: Out of 43 sit-down and 53 fast-service chains, those that did not provide any nutritional information (maybe next year, Cheesecake Factory!) were automatically eliminated. The rest were judged on healthy food preparation; the availability of organic or hormone-free foods; whole grains on the menu; limited or no trans-fats in all dishes; low-sodium options; healthy beverages; and portion control; as well as how easily you, the customer, can access nutritional information—so you know exactly what you’re getting in your spaghetti and meatballs.

Quoted: Sure, it's possible for you to lose muscle from doing too much cardio, but it's highly unlikely. Shying away from cardio completely because you think you'll lose muscle is a huge mistake. Only excessive amounts of cardio would cause you to lose muscle because over-training tips the scale towards the catabolic side. It's difficult to generalize and pinpoint one specific amount as too much, but I think it's safe to assume that just about anyone could do up to 45 -60 minutes of cardio a day, 6 to 7 days a week without losing any muscle - as long as the proper nutritional support is provided.

The study found that genetically, all humans are pretty much the same. But, there are some differences regarding the genes that control metabolism. Might this mean that the ideal nutrition program varies from individual to individual?

Quoted: Dr Quintana-Murci found 55 genes that showed evidence of having undergone significant localised evolution.
...
A further six regulated metabolism in various ways, probably in response to the different diets enjoyed by different people. (Some of these genes are of wider interest as they are involved in obesity, diabetes and hypertension.)

Quoted: Scientists say they have hard evidence foods containing "friendly bacteria" do have a tangible effect on the body.

The latest nutrition "finding":

Quoted: If you've been avoiding burgers, ice cream, and pizza thinking you're doing your waistline a favor, don't. They can actually help you lose weight -- and keep it off, too. Here are the hidden slim-down perks of five foods that get a bad rap and the best way to add each one back into your diet.

Very interesting.

This showcases what families around the world eat in a week and how much they spend on it.

I now want to track my food intake and expense for a week.

Quoted: Your body can burn more calories just by chewing and processing the snack than the food contains already. In other words, you’ll be able to keep eating throughout the day without packing on extra pounds.

Quoted: One grocery chain has banned high-fructose corn syrup from its shelves, but not all agree it should be labeled the food scene's new villain.
