Chocolate-Dipped Watermelon

By
Everybody loves chocolate; even your heart! New studies in food and nutrition science suggest that dark chocolate is healthy for your body due to inflammation and gut microbes.  Gut bugs (sounds gross!) gorge on the fiber and antioxidants in dark chocolate, fermenting them into compounds that have anti-inflammatory effects on the heart, says food scientist John Finley. It's double the impact when you pair dark chocolate with fruit, which also has the same compounds.

Dangers of Diet Soda

Why DIET soda is NOT as good for you as you think! I'm particularly amazed by the number of people who comfortably drink diet soda with the belief that it's safer than ordinary soda. When researching the dangers of diet soda, sadly I've learned it is just as unhealthy as ordinary soda especially because of the ingredient aspartame. Aspartame is what is used to give diet soda that sweet taste.  It is an artificial sweetener and the manufacturers of diet sodas say by substituting sugar with an artificial sweetener, then they are drastically cutting down on calories contained. Unfortunately, this attempt to make beverages healthier for us does the complete opposite. Artificial sweetener will actually confuse the body.  For example if I were to drink a diet coke, because it tastes sweet, my brain will send a message to the pancreas to prepare for digestion of sugar, now that means more insulin will be produced.
