If there is one thing the internet has taught us it's that people really love bacon.

Halloween Candies That Need to Come Back

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 14:25:43 +0000

It’s that time of year again when we apologize to our pancreas and then eat until we're sick -- Halloween candy season! Everywhere we turn, we’re bombarded with chocolate and gummies and sour things and those peanut butter taffies in the wax paper wrapping that no one ever eats.

Michelle — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 12:14:36 +0000

You’ll thank me in a minute. No, they’re not as good as my Mom’s were but they’re not half bad. Just discovered these “nutritious” cookies the other day on sale. So I gave them a shot. NOT BAD AT ALL. (Again, they’re NOT as good as your Mom’s but hell…they’re cookies that are “good for [...]

Shauna Wright — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:12:58 +0000

When it comes to food, would you rather know how many calories you’re ingesting or how much treadmill time it’ll take to burn off the calories?

95.1 The Moose — Wed, 04 May 2011 21:57:57 +0000

A new development in the battle against salt is leading some scientists to question whether a low-sodium diet is actually healthy for you.

In a study published Wednesday by the Journal of the American Medical Association, Belgian researches "estimated sodium intake of nearly 3,700 participants, with an average age of about 40, by measuring sodium in their urine at the beginning and end of the study."

What they found was that the people with the lowest amount of sodium intake "had no greater protection against high blood pressure after eight years than those who consumed the highest levels," according to the Boston Globe.
