        House Child Nutrition Reauthorization strengthens school meals nutrition standards and expands access to programs

        The Center for Science in the Public Interest commends the House Education and Labor Chairman for introducing the Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids Act, the House’s Child Nutrition Reauthorization bill. Short of ensuring free school meals for all children, which Congress has tried but failed to do, the bill expands access to free meals for high-need schools and provides additional food assistance to children during the summer.

        Food Fail: Panera Charged Lemonades

        “Join our Unlimited Sip Club and enjoy endless NEW Charged Lemonades, coffees, teas, and soda,” says Panera’s website. “Now more sips!” Yes, because if there’s one thing most of us need, it’s more sugary-drink calories that don’t curb your appetite. For just $10.99 a month, Panera is opening the floodgates. So health conscious!

        Food Find: Peaches

        Haven’t taken a bite out of a perfectly ripe peach yet this summer? What are you waiting for? It’s not just the intact fiber, vitamins, and minerals you’ll get from peaches—or pretty much any fruit—for not-so-many calories (60 a peach).

        The long-term risks of cancer

        Which cancers are deadly over the long run? To find out, scientists tracked common cancers in 13,556 men for 30 years and in 28,448 women for 35 years.

        fast food

        Does eating fast food raise the risk of unhealthy belly fat?

        Does fast food lead to unhealthy visceral belly fat? Researchers tracked 3,156 young adults for 25 years. The more often they ate at fast food restaurants, the higher their visceral (deep belly) fat, whether or not they had obesity. And those who ate fast food at least three times a week had roughly five times the risk of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) compared to those who ate fast food no more than once a month.

        Testing the best diet for prediabetes or type 2 diabetes

        What’s the best diet if you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes? Researchers assigned 33 people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes to eat a “Well-Formulated Keto Diet” or a “Mediterranean-Plus Diet” for 12 weeks each, in random order.

        Magnum XXL 9800, Jaguar Power, Kangaroo Intense Alpha 3000. Those are just a few of the tainted dietary supplements that, until recently, were sold on walmart.com and other websites.

        It's time to play "Which has more?"

        Take our Nutrition Facts quiz!

        Since the 1990s, Nutrition Facts and ingredients have been required on nearly all packaged food labels. But who has time to carefully scour each label on the shelf? And it’s easy to be tricked by buzzwords that make a food sound higher—or lower—in something than it is. Here’s a quick quiz to see if you can guess which food from each pair has more of a nutrient or ingredient (or if it's a tie).

        digestive enzymes

        Do you need digestive enzyme supplements?

        Our bodies make digestive enzymes that break down food into nutrients that we can absorb. “The enzymes are secreted by the digestive tract starting in the mouth, but most digestive enzymes come from the pancreas,” says Kyle Staller, director of the Gastrointestinal Motility Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital. “This idea that we all have low-level digestive enzyme deficiency or that we could all benefit from a little boost doesn’t fit with our understanding of how the pancreas or enzymes work,” he notes.
