from Fiona Haynes A major study concludes that low fat diets have no effect on reducing our risk of heart disease or certain cancers after all. But before we bite into our double cheeseburgers, there are some things to consider. Also this week, as we're in the midst of American Heart Month, we focus on heart-healthy eating. Learn, too, about the glycemic index, carb counting and how chocolate can fit in with a low carb diet. Finally, find out which foods are the best sources of iron for our kids. All in all, plenty of food for thought. |

| Why You Shouldn't Quit Your Low Fat Diet Has the time come to embrace deep-fried chicken once again? Should we stock up on butter and cream, and snack on potato chips and french fries? In short, no. Yet those of us in the low fat corner were dealt an apparent blow when the results of an important study focusing on older women and disease prevention came up short. Find out more about the study's focus and why you shouldn't abandon your low fat diet. - Low Fat Cooking Guide Fiona Haynes |

 | American Heart Month: Eating for a Healthy Heart Since 1963, February has been proclaimed as American Heart Month. Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States and other countries as well. There are many factors involved in heart disease such as family history of heart disease, smoking, amount of physical activity and of course diet. A diet that is high in calories, saturated fats, and trans fats has been shown to correlate with a higher risk of heart disease. To lower your risk of heart disease, follow a heart healthy diet. - Nutrition Guide Shereen Jegtvig |

 | Improve Your Heart Health With Greek Food There are many things we can do to lower our risk for heart disease and stroke. One of the most positive steps we can take is to watch what we eat. All evidence points to the Mediterranean diet (and more specifically, the diet of rural residents on the Greek island of Crete) as a positive factor in heart health. - Greek Food Guide Nancy Gaifyllia |
