Scientists Identify Two New Fat-Burning Foods
In so-wacky-we-couldn't-make-it-up news, researchers are developing a drug that could act as an "imaginary meal," using fat-burning signals to trick a person's digestive system into burning fat even though it hasn't received any new food. In the meantime, check out these foods with recently discovered fat-burning ways... No imagination required!

Chili peppers - For ages, we've seen reports that chili peppers have metabolism-boosting qualities, but this study found something new. The natural capsaicin in spicy chili peppers may actually help turn white (storage) fat cells to brown (thermogenic fat-burning) cells. WOW. One batch of Jalapeño Swappers, coming right up...

Red grapes/wine - This new study found that a high-fat diet resulted in less fat accumulation in existing fatty tissue and in the liver when extracts from Muscadine grapes were consumed. The results are being largely attributed to ellagic acid, a natural compound in the grapes, which also aided in balancing blood sugar. Double score! Snacking on grapes or having a glass of red with dinner suddenly sounds even more appealing…

The Buzz...
Because there will never be too many light and delicious iced coffee options in the world, Dunkin' Donuts is launching new Coolatta Lite blended drinks! The frozen sippers -- in coffee and non-coffee flavors -- will have 33 to 80 percent fewer calories than the original lineup. Impressive! Look for them to start popping up in the Northeast later this month… ***Speaking of coffee, did you hear about the new coconut milk option at Starbucks? It's launching tomorrow, and we've got ALL the info: calorie counts, cost, and more! Click for the 411. ***Brain food is officially a thing, people. According to research analysts, it's more evident than ever that nutrition is linked to an individual's mental health. Among the particularly important nutrients are omega-3s, B vitamins, and zinc. So if you're feeling low, it might be a good idea to give your eating habits a once-over... ***Remember that poll we ran to choose the next HG Survival Guide? The votes are in! The next restaurant profiled will be… P.F. CHANG'S! Look for the new guide this Friday, and make your dinner plans accordingly. And that's all we've got. HG out!

CHEW ON THIS:
Happy Presidents' Day! On this February 16th, eat like Abraham Lincoln, and enjoy corn cakes (like these corn muffins) and apples (we suspect Abe would have liked Fujis, just like we do).
