<br>
<br>HG,
<br>
<br>Are organic foods always better for you?
<br>
<br>Organically Thrown
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Dear Organically Thrown,
<br>
<br>While I'm not a nutritionist or an authority on organic foods, I have discussed 
<br>this topic many times with some of my expert pals, and I do have a lot to 
<br>say about it. To answer your question simply, NO, organic foods are not 
<br>ALWAYS better for you. But the real question is, better for you than WHAT? 
<br>And also, better for you HOW? There are many organic foods that are loaded 
<br>with fat and calories and sugar. If you're watching your weight, those aren't 
<br>exactly better for your diet than non-organic foods that aren't as fattening. 
<br>For example, an organic brownie could contain 400 calories. That wouldn't 
<br>necessarily be a better choice than a non-organic 100-calorie brownie. But 
<br>even the obviously healthy organic foods -- like organic fruits and 
<br>vegetables -- aren't automatically more healthful than their non-organic 
<br>counterparts. Many experts say that the differences are pretty subtle and 
<br>that there isn't enough evidence to show that fruits and veggies that have 
<br>been treated with pesticides are harmful to us. Certain types of produce are 
<br>more likely than others to retain pesticides -- apples, lettuce, and bell 
<br>peppers, to name a few. So if you want to choose a few items to go organic 
<br>with, those are best. As for meat and dairy? There's a lot of debate as to 
<br>whether or not organic is better. If you're concerned about the potential 
<br>effects of growth hormones (animals used for the production of organic foods 
<br>aren't given any), then you may want to opt for organic. But if your overall 
<br>goal is a balanced and healthy diet, then fruits, veggies, lean protein, and 
<br>low-cal snacks are great staples, whether they're organic or not. If you'd like 
<br>to see a video about this, click here and check out our close, personal pal 
<br>Robert Davis (a.k.a. The Healthy Skeptic) shedding some light on this very 
<br>subject. Enjoy!!!

<br>Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>What's the butter substitute you recommended on the Rachael Ray show? 
<br>And will you be on the show again?
<br>
<br>Better Butter
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Dear Better Butter,
<br>
<br>Hi! I've made a few appearances recently on the Rachael Ray show (so much 
<br>fun!), but it sounds like the butter swap you're referring to is one featured in 
<br>the "Supermarket Ambush" segment that aired on 10/22. (See it by clicking 
<br>here.) In that segment, I helped a butter-addicted woman named Kathy 
<br>overcome her obsession with the real, fattening stuff. Kathy was very open 
<br>to trying out HG recipes, and she and her family LOVED them. (Yay!) One of 
<br>the products I introduced her to is called Brummel & Brown -- it's a 
<br>spreadable butter swap that is made with yogurt and has half the calories 
<br>and fat of regular butter. B & B completely ROCKS and has been an HG 
<br>staple for years!!! It's sweet and creamy and will TOTALLY satisfy even the 
<br>biggest butter-lover. Click here for more info about it and here to see where 
<br>it's sold. Let me know how you like it! And to answer your other question, I 
<br>will be doing segments on a few more episodes of Rachael Ray, including an 
<br>upcoming holiday show. More info on that coming soon. Thanks for your 
<br>email!
