<br>Hungry Girl Today: 07.31.06 
<br>
<br>NEWS 
<br>
<br>
<br>Feelin' Fruity...
<br>Lots of fruit news this week, people...
<br>
<br>Pears: They're Fiber-ific! - Pears are getting an extra nutritional nod from the 
<br>FDA this week -- the soon-to-be published info about 'em will show that they 
<br>contain 50% more fiber. Instead of 4g, a medium pear now packs in 6g (FYI, 
<br>they contain more fiber than any other fruit).
<br>
<br>Ice-Cold Watermelon is Less Nutritious - Apparently, watermelons stored at 
<br>room temperature contain more nutrients than refrigerated or freshly picked 
<br>melons. A recent study found watermelons that had been stored for a while 
<br>(7-10 days) had way more lycopene and beta carotene (the good stuff!) than 
<br>chilled or freshly picked ones. Watermelons continue to produce nutrients 
<br>after they're picked, and chilling slows down this process. So buy your melon 
<br>and stare at it for a few days before biting into it!
<br>
<br>Kiwi ROCKS! - A study in New Zealand found that eating kiwi daily, along 
<br>with increased physical activity, led to an increase in the repair of damaged 
<br>DNA. It has also been reported that kiwi can help with blood clotting and may 
<br>offer protection from strokes. There's a U.S. kiwifruit tour going on now.

<br>
<br>Stir Your Caffeine Goodbye!
<br>
<br>Ready for do-it-yourself decaf?  It's very possible that sometime in the near 
<br>future, you'll be able to take a small wand-like stick (think tongue depressor) 
<br>and stir up to 70% of the caffeine right out of the cup! The concept is simple. 
<br>Caffeine-seeking polymers coat the stick, and they grab and pull the "hyped-
<br>up" caffeine molecules out of the drink. Sounds like some sort of weird, 
<br>impossible, futuristic gadget, but we hear these things are actually being 
<br>manufactured and tested. Who knows, these kooky sticks may soon start 
<br>showing up at restaurant tables right next to the Splenda and milk!
<br>   
<br>
<br>  
<br>
<br>Tea-rific New Products
<br>Tea time...
<br>
<br>Gold Peak From Coca-Cola - These premium, ready-to-drink iced teas come 
<br>in five varieties -- Sweetened, Unsweetened, Lemon, Diet and Green Tea. 
<br>They're really promising a lot here. A spokesperson for the company 
<br>explains, "We make it for those who love great iced tea, and it delivers a 
<br>taste so balanced and delicious it reminds you of the best glass of tea you've 
<br>ever had."
<br>
<br>Snapple "Good For You" Premium Green Teas - Made with less sugar than 
<br>regular iced teas, these good-for-you teas are said to boost metabolism. 
<br>They're available in Original, Mango and Asian Pear and each bottle packs in 
<br>55mg of the antioxidant EGCG. Coming in August.

<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Having trouble with the old willpower thing? You may want to hook yourself 
<br>up with a Shockolate Vault jar. This wacky thing locks up your fattening 
<br>snacks and actually gives you a shock when you try to open it. We're sure 
<br>the shock isn't anything truly dangerous, but the jar does come with a 
<br>warning not to use it on children or people with heart problems. Seems more 
<br>like a novelty gift to us -- but it's still kind of amusing. ***Wanna eat less at 
<br>mealtime? Use smaller spoons and forks. New research shows that people 
<br>who use large utensils end up eating more. Maybe that cute Hello Kitty 
<br>flatware isn't such a bad idea after all... ***The government is really pushing 
<br>for people to eat more fruits and veggies. They're ditching the old "5 a Day" 
<br>slogan for the snappy "Fruits and Veggies -- More Matters." Ok, maybe not 
<br>so snappy, but you get the point. That's all we've got. HG out!
