Dr. Neal Barnard

“As far as frightening foods are concerned, among the worst, surprisingly, is cheese. It should carry a warning label. Americans now consume 33 or 34 pounds of it per person each year. Most people don’t know that cheese derives 70 percent of its calories from fat, most of which is saturated. This is what drives heart disease and diabetes. As our infatuation with cheese has grown, so have our waistlines.”

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway looks pretty good in a catsuit in the new Batman sequel, The Dark Night Rises.

The actress follows a vegetarian diet and it may surprise some to know she loads up on pasta, an item once mistakenly looked down upon by health foodies because of the carb content, now known to actually be great for controlling hunger due to the body’s ability to digest it more slowly.

“I don’t go the soy-meat route; I have a really plant-based diet,” Hathaway told USA Today. “So I wind up cooking at home a lot. Kale is amazing. Spelt [a kind of wheat] pasta is amazing. I can’t do the white-flour stuff. It makes me really ill.”
