You aren't only what you eat
Life, Dr Nithi Mahanonda, Published on 13/01/2015
» We all know that late night snacks can lead to weight gain because the body does not burn many calories during sleep. In the evenings, however, we tend to crave foods that are sweet and rich in carbohydrates. According to researchers, this is food that was not always available to our ancestors. They did not know when or from where the next meal would come, so they had to store extra fat just in case. Today we are surrounded by food all the time, but instinctive craving has not disappeared. This is how many of us gain weight.

Controlling your cholesterol
Life, Dr Nithi Mahanonda, Published on 03/01/2012
» It is a widely accepted theory that high cholesterol causes heart disease, so many food brands are trying to advertise themselves as "healthy" by adding "cholesterol free" labels on their line of products. But if you look carefully you will see that they are usually products that are not made from animal fat to begin with (all dietary cholesterol comes from animal fat, not vegetable fat), like potato crisps, so the "cholesterol free" label is completely a non-issue; there's no way potato crisps can contain cholesterol unless they are deep-fried in animal fat. Therefore, you should look at the amount of calories in each serving instead.
