Cheesecake Anyone?

Cheesecake, one of my favorite things in life, add some chocolate to the cheesecake and life just does not get any better than that. Sara Lee now has on the market for your convenience ”Sara Lee Bites”; wonderful little morsels of chocolate or strawberry cheesecake. Keep these in your freezer and when you need a little taste of sweet just pop one in your mouth. 

If you are like me one bite leads to another until before you know it the box is empty. Should you have some “Sara Lee Bites” in your freezer make sure to keep track of the bites you consume.

Roughly 20 bites is equal to 1/2 cup (a serving of ice cream) 440 calories

and 14 grams of saturated fat.

Drugging Our Children

I once read that we are a nation with a drug problem and it is not from the common drug dealer on our street corners. The AAP is now recommending cholesterol lowering drugs for children a little over eight years of age.

There is a great article by James J. Gormley titled “Dedicated to the Drugging of our Children”. Go to www.supplementinfo.org and click on blog; Read this article, it may save you child’s life.    

Dr. Victor Marchione, M.D. – If you have a surge in fatty food and sugar over an extended period of time, you can develop a fatty liver regardless of your weight.
