What To Eat

Just One Can't Hurt

July 10, 2008 at 9:57AM By Marion Nestle | comment

Yesterday’s New York Times published a gorgeous recipe for chocolate chip cookies but I was stunned by the size. The recipe calls for pounds of ingredients but only makes 16 cookies (5 inches in diameter). I couldn’t resist looking up the calories on the USDA’s food composition data base.

I'm in Copenhagen this week at the Nordic Nutrition meetings and did my usual tourist thing. I went to supermarkets to check out the products and the health claims. What a disappointment.

Organic Infant Formula with Sucrose

May 21, 2008 at 4:54PM By Marion Nestle | comment

The New York Times reports that the organic version of Similac infant formula is made with organic cane juice - sucrose - not lactose (milk sugar). Sucrose is sweeter than lactose; infants love it. Sucrose encourages infants to drink more formula and could promote weight gain.
