<br>NYC Says Buh-Bye to Trans Fats!
<br>
<br>Ok, it's official.  New York City's Board of Health has voted to phase out trans 
<br>fats from restaurants.  This may be good news for people who are interested 
<br>in eating healthier foods, but not-so-good news for the hundreds of donut 
<br>shops and fast food establishments who'll be forced to start using more 
<br>costly, better-for-you ingredients.  With all the fattening and horrendously 
<br>bad-for-you stuff that Americans (and certainly NYers) happily consume 
<br>daily, some find it surprising and random that this law was passed.  And even 
<br>health-conscious folks are wondering what's next.  Will there be a limit to 
<br>how much sugar you can put in your coffee or how many pints of ice cream 
<br>you can buy?  Take our poll to weigh in on this subject NOW!

<br>Herbs & Spices ROCK!
<br>
<br>While most people use herbs and spices to flavor their meals (both home-
<br>cooked and prepackaged), few people realize just how good these 
<br>antioxidant-packed plant foods are for them. Wanna know which are best (of 
<br>course you do!)?  Cloves have the highest antioxidant content, followed by 
<br>oregano, ginger, cinnamon and turmeric.  New studies also show that these 
<br>herbs and spices may actually BOOST the antioxidant power of other healthy 
<br>foods as well. Need more spicy news?  Garlic has been credited with reducing 
<br>cholesterol, and rosemary, lemongrass, basil, mint and parsley are some 
<br>tasty friends that may aid in the prevention of cancer.  Spice things up a bit, 
<br>willya?!

<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Jamba Juice recently issued a warning that smoothies purchased in Arizona, 
<br>Nevada, and Southern California between November 25th and December 1st 
<br>may have contained strawberries contaminated with potentially deadly 
<br>bacteria. If you feel you may have purchased one of these smoothies, please 
<br>call (877) 464-5689. ***A kooky Ukrainian scientist has invented a talking 
<br>plate that tells you off when the food on your plate starts to weigh too much.  
<br>Silly? Yes!  And it also doesn't do anything for those of us who pile on high-
<br>cal foods that don't weigh a lot -- like chips.  Still, we want one.  Badly. No 
<br>word yet on when or if it'll be available in the States. ***Keep an eye out for 
<br>perfectly portioned 100 calorie jerky snacks from our friends at Oberto.  
<br>These mini bags of dried meats will hit shelves in January.  That's all we've 
<br>got. HG out!
