| Foods identified as 'whole grain' not always healthy Posted: 10 Jan 2013 02:08 PM PST Current standards for classifying foods as "whole grain" are inconsistent and, in some cases, misleading, according to a new study. One of the most widely used industry standards, the Whole Grain Stamp, actually identified grain products that were higher in both sugars and calories than products without the Stamp. The researchers urge adoption of a consistent, evidence-based standard for labeling whole grain foods to help consumers and organizations make healthy choices.  |

But new research provides further evidence that the protective benefits of having a pear-body shape may be more myth than reality.  |

| Overweight begins in the womb: Lifestyle of mother shapes disposition for subsequent weight Posted: 10 Jan 2013 04:54 AM PST A disposition for overweight is shaped even before birth, according to new research. The study reveals that children with a birth weight of more than 4,000 grams are twice as much at risk of becoming overweight in later life than those with normal birth weight.  |
