NBC Nightly News and MSNBC reported just hours ago that a new, 10-year study by the US government’s Women’s Health Initiative shows that statins (the cholesterol-lowering Rx drugs like Lipitor, Crestor and Zocor) may cause Type 2 diabetes in women over 50.

I am addicted to Starbucks Peppermint Mocha. But it's expensive at $4.35 a cup.  And even ordering it lo-co style - skim milk and no whipped cream - it still packs 290 calories and an astonishing 52g of sugar.While that's sad, it could be far worse.  Order the full-fat with whipped cream version and you'll be drinking a scary 440 calories with 55mg of cholesterol and 54g of sugar.  Read more >

Maybe you're one of those people who love pie. Or maybe you're like me and your dessert vice is chocolate but it's Thanksgiving and you MUST make/bring a pecan pie.You could buy one. But it'll be high in fat and cholesterol. Instead, have some fun.  Read more >

Alternate Post Title: Melissa Clark Rocks.  On a cold day, nothing beats moussaka. There is something so satisfying about this eggplant and spiced lamb casserole topped with creamy béchamel mashed potatoes. The best I've ever had is at NYC's Molyvos: theirs is cinnamon-spiced heaven served up in your own private copper tureen - it's so delicious I won't even share mine. Seriously, we order a second for the table.  Read more >
