Investigations
Q&A: Butter vs. Margarine
Q: Which is more healthful, butter or margarine?

A: Good question. It is one that even researchers keep asking over and over. At first it was thought that margarine was better for you because it has less saturated fat than butter. Saturated fat has been shown to increase risk of heart disease.

 
Q&A: Dressing Shakedown
Q: I know that vegetables are healthy, but I don't particularly like them unless they are doused in dressing. HELP!!

A: Vegetables, as you have probably heard, are a great addition to any meal plan. They are low in calories and fat, while high in fiber, vitamins, minerals and other health-promoting compounds that are thought to fight disease.

 
Q&A: Enjoy Soy!
Q: I have heard that I should eat soy to improve my health. How much should I consume?

A: Recent research suggests that soy may aid in everything from easing the symptoms of menopause to preventing bone density loss and decreasing cholesterol levels.

 
Q&A: School Daze
Q: I recently returned to college after the semester break and am living on campus. I am having a hard time following a well-balanced, healthy diet. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make better food choices while at school?

A: While living on campus, you may feel limited in your food selection to what is served at the dining halls, what is available in the vending machines, and what you can keep in your dorm room.
