When consumed in excess, negative side effects of fish oil capsules can include a heightened risk of vitamin D toxicity and vitamin A toxicity, interference in blood clotting, and an increase in bad cholesterol levels source: helium.com
Have you seen King Corn? It’s a documentary by two college graduates that set out to discover why a recent hair analysis revealed significant quantities of corn. Scary.
Remember Franco Harris? Franco is a Hall of Fame running back who spent most of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It seems Franco is also a good business man. He founded and owns RSuper Foods, a company that offers “healthy junk food.”
For example, The Super Donut has 180 calories, 5 grams of fat and is cooked with canola oil, therefore holds only 1 gram of saturated fat. It also has 5 gm of protein (by comparison a Dunkin Donut glazed donut has 220 calories, 9 gram of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, and 1 gram of fiber).
Does eating eggs contribute to heart disease? Not according to researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health that “looked at a population of 117,000 nurses who had been followed for eight to 14 years and found no difference in heart disease risk between those who ate one egg a week and those who ate more than one egg a day.” -medicine.net
One large egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein (in both the yolk and the white). The yolk is also a source of zinc, B vitamins (including riboflavin and folate), vitamin A, iron, and other nutrients.
In addition to lutein and zeaxanthin, egg yolks provide choline, an essential nutrient, which is especially important for fetal brain development. Researchers have also identified other compounds in eggs that may have anti-cancer, anti-hypertensive, immune-boosting, and antioxidant properties.
While one egg does contain more than 200 mg of cholesterol, according to the Harvard Health Letter, “For most people, only a small amount of the cholesterol in food passes into the blood.”
It’s highly unlikely that one egg per day is not going to increase your cholesterol or risk for CV disease. The sausage is another story!
GREAT FALLS, Mont. — So what does the world’s oldest man eat? The answer is not much, at least not too much.
Walter Breuning, who turned 113 on Monday, eats just two meals a day and has done so for the past 35 years.
“I think you should push back from the table when you’re still hungry,” Breuning said. -usatoday
MY COMMENT: Who knows, but my theory is the key to longevity is eat to meet but not exceed your energy demands. In other words, if you exercise a substantial amount, it would be ok to bump up your calorie intake and eat some dinner! I also advocate “grazing” on healthy snacks to keep your blood glucose stable and appetite in check.
