Here at Eating Fabulous, I’ve always emphasized the goodness in food. There’s not a single post in this blog saying you should avoid this, or that, to remain healthy. I hate weight-loss diets, particularly those that focus on deprivation. I love food. I need it. I eat it.
One practice I’ve always been skeptical about it […]
I’ve already blogged about it before, but here’s another new study touting the beneficial effects of pomegranate juice on prostate cancer. Men, listen up!

And yet, it’s not a popular choice as source of beta-carotene, the precursor of Vitamin A, probably because the recipes we know are also packed with calories and […]
There are tons of weight-loss articles over there, but as that is NOT the focus of this blog, here are a few new articles from the Diet Channel I thought would be of interest to you too:

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener familiar to those who are avoiding sugar either because they’re on a diet and or are diabetic. However, over the years, there have been many reports suggesting that it might be hazardous to health.
A recent review of more than 500 studies however, indicate that at current levels of consumption, aspartame […]
In a mice study, it has been shown that a mother’s exposure to bisphenol A, a chemical commonly used in plastic and other packaging materials, can cause detrimental effects to the health of the baby mice, increasing their risk for diabetes, obesity and cancer.
