Researchers who looked at data on 700 teens say those who had five or more meals a week with the family in their early teenage years had healthier eating habits five years later.
University of Minnesota researcher Teri Burgess-Champoux:
“Parents definitely have a strong influence over shaping the eating habits of their children and adolescents, and so it’s really important for parents to realize that this influence extends beyond childhood.”
Healthy eating means getting the right balance of nutrients your body needs each and every day. There are specific nutrients your body requires during adolescence. Read more in our article, Important Nutrients for Teens.
The study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior was supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Health Resources and Services Administration.

City Baking LLC, of Long island City, NY is recalling 781 individually wrapped City Baking brand Apple Crumb Cakes, because they contain Walnuts, which were inadvertently omitted from the label. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to Walnuts run the risk of serious or life threatening illness if they consume these products.
City Baking brand Apple Crumb Cakes
The product was distributed to 31 accounts in the following states: New York,, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Maine. It was shipped by UPS directly from City Baking’s only warehouse, in Long Island City, NY.
The individually wrapped City Baking brand Apple Crumb Cakes can be identified by a bag code, either #161 or 169 and UPC # 854142000165. The product is 3 ¼ oz, and is packaged in a transparent plastic wrap.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The problem was identified on June 25, 2009 when an anonymous caller from Boston contacted City Baking LLC to inform them that the City Baking brand Apple Crumb Cake ingredient label did not list Walnuts as an ingredient, but walnuts were clearly present in the product. A subsequent investigation by City Baking LLC of the label indicated that Walnuts were not listed due to a temporary breakdown in the company’s labeling procedures; this was attributed to the introduction of a new label software program installed within the last 6 months. The label has since been corrected.
We suggest any consumers who still have the product to return it to City Baking LLC for a full refund, or call us at 718-392-8514, between 7:30AM and 4PM Eastern Time, and then destroy it. Please call City Baking LLC with any questions, or concerns.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2005 recommends a one-ounce portion of almonds. They’re an easy, tasty, on-the-go snack that delivers the nutrition you need and the crunch you crave.
An ounce of almonds is a nutritious and satisfying snack. This easy, on-the-go snack delivers the nutrition you need within your calorie requirements. A one-ounce handful a day can make a big difference.
To get your one ounce serving use:
- A one-ounce tin
- A small spice jar
- A 1/4-cup measuring scoop
Almonds: An alternative to Peanut Butter?
Now there’s also another option for almonds – Barney Butter! Barney Butter is almond butter – similar to the favorite, Peanut butter, offering you another way to enjoy the health benefits of the wonder nut. Barney Butter comes in both crunchy and smooth, just like “regular” peanut butter. The producers of Barney Butter even supply single-serving, 90-calorie packets for lunches and on-the-go snacks.
Each two-tablespoon serving of Barney Butter contains 180 calories, 15 grams of fat and 6 grams of protein – similar to peanut butter. Almond butter also boasts 8 percent of the RDA for calcium, 25 percent of RDA for vitamin E, and 20 percent for magnesium.
The only downfall for Barney butter is the price – it’s a bit costly. Currently, a single 16 ounce jar may cost anywhere from $7.99 to $9.99, and a container of 24 single-serve packets around $9.99.
If you would like to try Barney Butter and get a little creative with it, give the following recipe a whirl:
Banana, Almond Butter Pops
Ingredients
3 Bananas
1/4 Cup Almond Butter
1/3 Cup Rice or Almond Milk (Plain or Vanilla)
Directions
Place the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour several tablespoons of mixture into popsicle molds (follow manufacturer’s directions for your mold).
Freeze overnight (or a minimum of 4-5 hours). Serve.
Recipe makes 8 Pops, depending on the size of your molds.

If you woke up with a headache this morning, you may have reached for an over-the-counter pain reliever. Millions of people do that everyday, and there’s usually no problem. Over-the-counter pain relievers are effective for treating minor aches and pains. But they’re only safe if you follow the directions.
That’s particularly important with acetaminophen, an active ingredient in many over-the-counter and prescription medicines that are used to relieve pain or reduce a fever. Acetaminophen is generally safe at recommended doses, but if you take more than that, even just a little more, it can cause serious, even fatal liver damage. In fact, acetaminophen poisoning is a leading cause of liver failure in this country.
You don’t have to look very far to find acetaminophen. It’s sold under a number of brand names, such as Tylenol, and it’s often included with other ingredients in over-the-counter cough and cold medicines, as well as sleep aids. Acetaminophen is also found in prescription medicines, such as Vicodin and Percocet, but that may not be clear from the label.
If you take several medicines that all contain acetaminophen, you might take more than the recommended dose without realizing it.
To avoid taking too much acetaminophen, it’s important to know if your medicine contains it. If you’re taking an over-the-counter medicine, look for the name acetaminophen on the Drug Facts label under the section called “Active Ingredients.” If you’re taking a prescription medicine and you don’t know the active ingredients, ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist.
Then follow all the directions on the Drug Facts label or prescription label. For safety’s sake, don’t take more than one medicine at a time that contains acetaminophen. And don’t take more than the maximum amount, even if your pain or fever isn’t getting better. Be sure you know how many hours you need to wait before taking another dose.
If you have 3 or more alcoholic drinks per day or have liver disease, this could increase your risk of liver damage, so talk to your doctor before taking medicines that contain acetaminophen.
Finally, when giving acetaminophen to children, make sure to use the right formulation for your child’s age and weight. Use that formulation in the right amount and at the right time. To avoid error, use the measuring tool that comes with the medicine and keep a record of the times and doses you give your child. Share that record with your child’s caregivers, so they’ll know how much medicine your child has had.
If you take acetaminophen, please be careful. Read the label and follow the directions.

Having been following the fight for freedom in Iran led me some Iranian-Persian recipes. I was taken by them noting that many are naturally very healthy dishes. The following recipe was shared with me by a friendly Iranian acquaintance who assures me the end result is fabulous. Hoping to try it soon but couldn’t wait to share!
Mirza Ghasemi (Baademjaan Ghasemi)
Iranian Recipe
Ingredients:
8 small seedless eggplants
4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
4 eggs
2 medium tomatoes
1/3 cup of cooking oil
Salt
Black pepper
Directions:
Bake the eggplants in oven until cooked. This occurs when the eggplants swell and the skin bursts. Take eggplants out of oven and let them cool down slightly. Peel them and cut the hard tops. Cut into small pieces.
Bring water to boil in a small pot. Cook tomatos in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain the pot and let cool slightly. Peel them and cut into small pieces.
Fry garlic in oil over medium heat until golden. Add eggplants and fry further for 3-4 minutes. Add tomatos, salt and pepper and fry until the excess water is gone.
Beat eggs well with a fork and fry separately until half-cooked. Add to eggplants, mix and fry further for 1-2 minutes. Can be served with white rice or Iranian bread.
This is a delicious dish from a region by the Caspian sea in northern Iran.
Recipe makes 6 servings.

The FDA wants to have Cheerios cereal named as a drug.
I’m not kidding. I really wish I was. Ref EDITORIAL: Uh-oh, Cheerios
The FDA has already sent a warning to the makers of Cheerios:
“Based on claims made on your product’s label, we have determined that your Cheerios Toasted Whole Grain Oat Cereal is promoted for conditions that cause it to be a drug because the product is intended for use in the prevention, mitigation, and treatment of disease” the FDA letter said. “[Cheerios] may not be legally marketed with the above claims in the United States without an approved new drug application.”
I must agree with the Washington Times editor on this one:
“This is a prime example of the nanny state running amok. Only the government would work to classify a breakfast cereal as a drug for the offense of having correct information on its label.”

Vitamin D levels in the body at the start of a low-calorie diet predict weight loss success, a new study found. The results, which suggest a possible role for vitamin D in weight loss, were presented at The Endocrine Society’s 91st Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
“Our results suggest the possibility that the addition of vitamin D to a reduced-calorie diet will lead to better weight loss,” Sibley said. Source: Link Between Successful Weight Loss And Vitamin D Levels
It appears a combination of cutting calories and vitamin D intake could assist in your weightloss efforts. Vitamin D is relatively inexpensive, so taking one small supplement of it daily sure couldn’t hurt. Physician’s also encourage Vitamin D combined with Calcium for optimal help with bone loss.
