Not all calories are created equal...

This is an interesting article a friend posted earlier today on Facebook. (Thanks Sami!!!)

Some tidbits...

"Today, 55 percent of sweeteners used in food and beverage manufacturing are made from corn, and the number one source of calories in America is soda, in the form of HFCS."

" The average Westerner consumes a staggering 142 pounds a year of sugar"

I'm sure this topic is one that could be debated back and forth but the article is a good read even with the occasional over dramatic flare.

Eat more of this.....

In the eternal battle with the sweet tooth, I have often found myself in the yogurt aisle. I have tried a type or two in the past to no avail. I have always liked smoothies(yeah, I know not the same) and I like the pro-biotic one shots, but I have never really found yogurt flavors I could handle eating. Until now, I have found at least two that I like thus far: Yoplait® Whips!® Chocolate Mousse Style and Yoplait® Light Orange Creme. I have also been recommended the Key Lime Pie. I will keep up my search, anyone got a recommendation?
