My husband has always loved smoothies.  Big, giant, fruity ones from chains like GNC, Jamba Juice, or Smoothie King.  The look on his face when he comes home with one of these frozen creations is priceless...it's the look of a man who knows he made a good choice.  A healthy choice.  A choice that will surely pass muster with his nutritionally obsessed wife.  And they always did.  Until I looked up the nutritional content on Jamba Juice's website...

Are you a pollotarian? Maybe you're a complete freegan, not just a vegan? Or maybe you are a fruitarian? Find your very own designation here...

It's old news that Alicia teamed up with PETA to put together a shimmery commercial promoting vegetarianism... But did you know that...the video, available on the front page of PETA's website, and embedded below from YouTube, never made it on air via Comcast Cable, due to the nudity involved?

(Source: NIH/National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute) A diet low in fat could reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in healthy postmenopausal women, according to new results from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Dietary Modification Trial. Researchers found that after four years, women who decreased the amount of dietary fat they consumed were 40 percent less likely to develop ovarian cancer than women who followed normal dietary patterns. As expected, no effect was found during the first four years because preventive benefits on cancer often take many years to develop. Ovarian cancer affects about 1 in 60 U.S. women in their lifetimes and has the highest mortality of all cancers of the female reproductive system.

The WHI Dietary Modification clinical trial followed 48,835 healthy, postmenopausal women for an average of 8.1 years to test whether a low-fat diet would reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Nearly 20,000 women in the intervention group were counseled to decrease fat intake to 20 percent of calories and to replace calories from fat with calories from vegetables, fruits, and grains. The control group (nearly 30,000 women) received diet-related education materials only.
