I came across this myth and fact about the little thing we've taken 4 granted and I decided 2 share it;

When it comes to food and
eating healthy, you probably
hear a lot of opinions and "facts"
from your parents, friends,
relatives, and teachers. This is
partly because older people may
have grown up when there was
different food information out
there, and partly because food
companies and advertising want
you to believe certain things in
order to get you to buy their
products. Think you're a Food
Smartie already? See if you
know the truth behind these
common myths:

Myth: As long as I skip a meal, I can eat
whatever I want at my next meal.

Fact: It's never a good idea to skip a meal, and it
won't make up for eating unhealthy foods, or
eating too much, the next time you eat. It's
important to eat three normal-sized and healthy
meals a day, and even a few snacks in between,
so your body has energy when it needs it.

Myth: As long as a food package says "all
natural" on it, it's healthy to eat.

Fact: Even if something is labeled "all natural," it
can still contain tons of sugar, unsaturated fats,
or other things that can be bad for you. Some
snacks labeled "all natural" can contain just as
much fat as a candy bar! It's important to read
the BACK of the package, where the Nutrition
Facts label and ingredients list will spell it all out
for you.

Myth: If I'm not overweight, I don't have to be
careful about what I eat.

Fact: Even if you've never had a problem with
your weight, it's important to choose healthy
foods every day. If you think of your body as a
machine, then you'll want to use the very best
fuel to keep that machine going strong, and that
means staying away from junk food. Also, if you
develop poor eating habits now, you could have a
lot of problems with your weight and health in
the years to come.

Myth: I can sweeten my food as much as I want,
as long as I use honey instead of sugar.

Fact: Chemically, honey is almost the exact same
thing as sugar, and honey can even have more
calories than regular sugar. Just like with sugar,
try to use honey only in small amounts.

Myth: As long as I take a vitamin pill every day, I
don't need to be careful about what I eat.

Fact: Some nutritionists say that it's a good idea
to take vitamin pills, but these pills can't give you
everything you need-not by a longshot! Eating
healthy foods gives you fiber, protein, energy,
and lots of very important things that vitamin
pills don't give you. So a vitamin and a bag of
chips is still a terrible lunch. Instead, you've got
to eat a balanced and nutritious meal.

Myth: Sugar gives you energy. If you need a
boost mid-afternoon or before playing sports, eat
a candy bar.

Fact: "Simple" sugars like those found in
chocolate, cookies, candies, and cakes definitely
cause spikes in your blood sugar level, which
may make you feel a quick shot of energy in your
system. But after that first rush, blood sugar
drops sharply, and you'll suddenly feel like you
have less energy than when you started!

Myth: Energy bars are a good way to get needed
vitamins and minerals.

Fact: Energy bars can be a good source of carbs,
protein, and fat, but they can be abused like any
other food. Eat too many, and you're doing as
much damage to your body as you would eating
lots of candy, cake, and cookies. They're no
substitute for low-calorie, no-fat snacks like fruit
and vegetables, and should only be used
occasionally if you're in a pinch.

Myth: Carbs make you fat.

Fact: You may know someone who's on a "low-
carb" diet-after all, it's the biggest weight-loss
trend out there. These diets try to make people
believe that carbs are just plain bad, but the
truth is this: carbs, just like sugar and fat, will
make you gain weight if you eat too much of
them. If you eat them in average, balanced
amounts, they're the best source of energy your
body can find.

They are doing their best, kudos to the JTF...

Wat going on *jst passing by* :

I've been noticing some things lately about kids that come on air, for adverts, kid shows and the like. It not applicable to all shows but I noticed that most of them apply make-ups on them like they are grown-ups. A local TV station had this girl of 5/6 years old with red lipstick and makeups. I also watched another teenage shows with wet-lips on their lips like *ororo*(groundnut oil) too much.
Sooner or later a 5year old will be telling the mother she wants makeup like a kid she had seen on TV. *just an observation*

It very 9ice, love it

Must dey all faint

Miscreants, they should be dealt with.

"I love you" is very hard, when you're sincere
I telling you, one has to rehearse it b4 saying. i.e. if you're sincere
i just learn to say it

The robbery I can remember is when assisin came to our street with comfirm guns and bullet.They were shooting everybody,the reason is because they have come about a week ago.And we catch three of them and injure the rest,the three were killed(we burn them to death)so they came back for revenge.That day they killed 29 people in our street and 10 people in the other street.They were entering into our houses killing people.That was the saddess day of my life though we manage to escape unkilled but that day I was badly shot.The must funny part of the issue was that they were killing the boiz and the first born of each family.That was my experience

this is not real, be sincere, this isn't a joke
