Multiple Choice Food Selections
Olive Oil or Fat Free Salad Dressing? Olive Oil! A recent Harvard
Study found that women using oil-based dressing’s five or more
times a week had a 50 percent lower risk of fatal hearth attacks
than women who rarely use them.

has about ten teaspoons of sugar, which contributes enormously to

butter on your toast and use olive oil for cooking!
Dark Chocolate or Milk Chocolate? Dark! A study in the
Journal of American Medical Association reports that antioxidants
called flavonoids in dark chocolate dilate arteries, increasing the
amount of blood able to flow through them and contributing to lower
blood pressure.
