<br>Hungry Girl Today: 12.10.07 
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Gnu Bar, Peanut Butter - You may already know we're obsessed with those 
<br>fiber-packed Gnu Bars (which taste like delicious chewy cookies, and are all 
<br>natural, low-cal, and nutritious). But did you know that the Gnu crew recently 
<br>added a PEANUT BUTTER flavor to their line? Yep, it's true! This one has 
<br>slightly more calories than the rest (150 per bar), but still has a POINTS&reg; 
<br>value of 2* just like the others. And those are great nutritionals -- especially 
<br>for a PB find. Yay! 
<br>
<br>Torani Sugar Free Sweetener Syrup - The folks at Torani, masters of all 
<br>things syrup-related, have added a plain sweet syrup to their sugar-free line. 
<br>This calorie-free stuff is PERFECT for adding straight-up sweetness to 
<br>cocktails, smoothies and recipes. SWEET! 
<br>
<br>Hansen's Sugar Free Pomegranate Green Tea, Sugar Free Peach Green Tea, 
<br>and Sugar Free Acai Black Tea - Hansen's makes good stuff. The latest 
<br>beverages from them that we're chasing down are these new 0-calorie iced 
<br>teas. They're lightly sweetened and loaded with natural antioxidants. We 
<br>love 'em! 
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>You Voted - The WORST 100-Calorie Products of 2007!
<br>
<br>Last week we asked, and YOU answered. We received over 200 emails from 
<br>outraged HGers about many different unimpressive 100-calorie products. 
<br>Here are the 3 that made you the SADDEST... 
<br>
<br>1. Little Debbie "100 Calories" Triple Fudge Brownies - This was HANDS 
<br>DOWN the product you mentioned most. And, truth be told, it was actually 
<br>the product that inspired us to ask you which 100-cal items you thought were 
<br>sad and/or pathetic. When we opened the box of these and saw how 
<br>ridiculously tiny they were, we could NOT help but laugh out loud. Sorry, Deb 
<br>Deb. A better bet? Little Debbie's "100 Calories" Nutty Bar Singles (POINTS&reg; 
<br>value 3*).
<br>
<br>2. Entenmann's Little Bites 100 Calorie Packs - No one complained about the 
<br>taste of these things (which come in varieties like Brownie Squares and 
<br>Blueberry Muffins), just about the fact that each pouch contains such an 
<br>embarrassingly small portion. Oh well. 
<br>
<br>3. Pepperidge Farm 100 Calorie Cookie Pouches - Lots of complaints with 
<br>these. The cookies are too small and there aren't enough of them. And they 
<br>don't look anything like the cookies pictured on the box. 
<br>
<br>Thanks for weighing in -- now send us your FAVORITE 100-calorie items of 
<br>the year, and we'll feature THOSE next week (this is fun!)...
<br>  
<br> 
<br>
<br>Stressed Out? Chew on THIS!
<br>
<br>New research suggests that people who are stressed are more likely to gain 
<br>weight. And, to make matters WORSE, that weight would apparently go 
<br>straight to their bellies. Yikes! Is this NEWS stressing you out? Fear not -- 
<br>studies have also shown that there are things you can consume that can 
<br>actually DE-STRESS you. And here they are now... 
<br>
<br>Pistachios - These can actually help lower stress-induced blood pressure 
<br>spikes (even just a handful of 'em a day!). Our favorite pistachios come from 
<br>Everybody's Nuts (we have a not-so-secret crush on their mascot, Stach). 
<br>
<br>Spinach - The magnesium in our leafy veggie friend can help relieve 
<br>migraines and reduce fatigue, alleviating stress and leaving you more 
<br>relaxed. 
<br>
<br>Oatmeal - The carbs in oatmeal release serotonin (the chemical messenger 
<br>in the brain that makes you feel good and happy). And the fiber in it can help 
<br>fill you up (also a good feeling!). 
<br>
<br>Oranges - Vitamin C is a stress-buster! It can help regulate blood pressure 
<br>and bring your cortisol levels back to normal (cortisol increases as a 
<br>response to stress).  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>
<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>You've probably heard that eating foods that contain high fructose corn syrup 
<br>(as opposed to foods with regular sugar) is to blame for causing people to 
<br>eat more throughout the day. A new study out of Canada says that's simply 
<br>not true. Participants drank a specified amount of solution made with either 
<br>HFCS or regular sugars (each solution contained the same amount of 
<br>calories). The study found that the people ate the same amount of food 
<br>afterwards, regardless of which solution they consumed. Click for more. 
<br>***Recently published research from the Grand Forks Human Nutrition 
<br>Research Center suggests that eating as little as a half-cup serving of cooked 
<br>dry beans each day can lower total cholesterol levels. And yes, we enjoy the 
<br>fact that there is a nutrition center in a city called "Grand Forks". ***The 
<br>holidays are here, and that means it's time for us to shamelessly promote 
<br>our favorite food-related trivia game. If you think you're an expert on 
<br>snacking pop culture, check out Eat It! (it's sort of like a Trivial Pursuit about 
<br>snack foods, complete with coupons!). It's cute -- but it COULD make you 
<br>hungry (just a friendly warning). ***Don't forget to check out the HG column
