“Rather than beef, these food items are actually made with a substance known as ‘taco meat filling,’
Taco Bell shouldn’t market the taco meat filling in question as beef because their testing shows that it only contains 36 percent ground beef
MY COMMENT: So does this mean that those low fat selections advertised at Taco Bell aren’t good for you? What do you think?

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!
