Calcium - A little at a time
If you take calcium supplements, don’t take more than 500mg at a time. The body absorbs larger amounts less efficiently. Also take it with a meal for better absorption.
Taming the Aspartame Fears
We’ve all read the internet rumors about the dangers of aspartame. However, this sweetener has been studied more intensively than almost any other food additive. The FDA, WHO (World Health Organization) and the American Medical Association have confirmed its safety. The only proven danger is for people with phenylketonuria, a rare genetic disorder. Labels of products containing aspartame include this warning.
5 A Day - Not as much as it sounds!
If the idea of fitting 5 servings of vegetables and fruits in your diet seems impossible, remember that official serving sizes are small. A large apple, a cup of broccoli or lentils, or a medium sized salad each count as two servings!
