Are Organic Foods Really Healthier For You Than Ordinary Foods?
Since organic meats and produce became popular several years ago, many consumers have wondered: are organic foods really healthier for you, or are you wasting your hard-earned money by shopping in the organic sections of your local grocery store? A new study conducted at the Stanford School of Medicine indicates that organic foods are superior to non-organic foods in certain regards, but equal in others. Your decision to shop and buy organic will ultimately come down to the priorities you hold for your family, not to mention your budget. As far as money spent on food is concerned, the choice between organic and non-organic can have a huge impact on one of the most fundamental aspects of your budget. According to a study conducted by NPR, Americans spend over 15 percent of their incomes on food alone.

Cholesterol Levels in Children Dropping
Over the last 22 years, the percentage of excessive cholesterol levels in children has dropped significantly, according to a new study performed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study found that just 1 out of every 12 kids and teens suffer from above-normal cholesterol. The news indicates that many young people are making healthier dietary decisions, or that their parents are making healthier food choices for them. Instilling habits that prevent high cholesterol in children might eventually reduce the statistics regarding the number of American adults that suffer from the condition. A disturbingly high percentage – 33.5 percent to be exact – lives with high LDL. Even worse, people with high cholesterol have twice as much risk when it comes to getting heart disease.
Pregnant Women Engage in Binge Drinking Like Nonpregnant Women
The idea that pregnant women should avoid alcohol is commonplace, even among women who have no intentions of becoming pregnant. Indeed, the vast majority of pregnant women don’t drink, much less become binge drinking women. Mothers most typically avoid alcohol to prevent their child from developing possible health issues such as heart defects, poor growth, and problems with speech. Alcohol consumption can sometimes also lead to miscarriage or premature birth. Unfortunately, pregnant women who do decide to binge drink typically do so in exactly the same fashion as nonpregnant women who binge drink. In other words, they do so just as frequently, and with roughly the same number of drinks per session, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Chocolate Lovers Rejoice: Chocolate Lower BMI Studies Confirmed
It’s no secret that chocolate is one of the most popular sweets available. In 2001, it was estimated that Americans consumed around three billion pounds of the candy. Consuming too much chocolate can certainly have negative effects, but when done right, some research suggests the candy could actually be good for you. But can chocolate lower BMI? A recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine has found that people who eat chocolate frequently have a lower average BMI than people who eat chocolate less often. Participants in this study certainly didn’t indulge in a full chocolate cake, of course. Instead, participants treated the chocolate more like a supplement in their lifestyles, consuming the tasty treat about two times a week. Participants in the study also exercised an average of 3.6 times each week.

Advantages of Breast Feeding: Feed Now to Stay Thinner Later
Practically everyone knows that breast feeding is optimal for a baby’s health, and many researchers have suggested that there are some advantages of breast feeding for mom, too. For example, some research indicates that breastfeeding mothers could have a lower risk of ovarian cancer, breast cancer and type 2 diabetes. One of the most immediate benefits of breast feeding for mothers includes post-natal weight loss, which experts suggest is due to the additional calories required for a woman to produce breast milk. However, a new study is indicating that these benefits extend even further than post-pregnancy weight loss. In fact, the study shows that women who breast feed during motherhood are more likely to have a healthier body weight decades later, even into their 50s and 60s.
