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

MY COMMENT: What’s the upper limit ? My guess is the Eskimos in this study eat fish every day.
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).
The Berkley Wellness Newsletter summarizes the benefits of eggs as part of a healthy diet:
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!
I’ve been watching this penny stock for months now- apparently the economy has slowed the expansion plans of this new restaurant.
They’ve signed George Foreman as a spokesperson so I don’t see how they can fail. I wish we could get one on a military base!

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.
According to this clip the average Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS) score is 28,000. I was tested yesterday at a local health fair – 87,000!
