    Chicken and corn frittata

    Ha Ha Ha. I'm not a chef but I am Italian! I just love cooking healthy foods now and looking for alternatives. I might put my money where my mouth is and try what I posted for myself.

    Is fish oil a waste of money? Study casts a pall on highly touted health supplements

    Thanks for that Stevo, yes, I do know quite a few people that take a good quality fish oil and have some positive effects. Of course, they do not use sugar or carbs which in effect exasperate the inflammatory response in our system. I suspected what you said but will look further into it. See...

    Chicken and corn frittata

    I must say this post and recipe come close to what might be a reasonable food in terms of health. Take out the corn and flour and perhaps replace it with caulie flower and almond flour and its quite healthy. The milk is quite minimal, however if you don't have milk then maybe some full fat...

    Is fish oil a waste of money? Study casts a pall on highly touted health supplements

    Now this is a good post by SDC (unlike many others). It does not portray a tendency to push a product or advertise it like it's their own. It tells us the sorts of information out there and gets many of us thinking and researching for ourselves. I have researched fish oil and discussed it...

    Did your cereal change its name overnight? Learn about the surprising rebrand of a popular Aussie food giant!

    Would not touch breakfast cereals or grains of any sort. Left over from the 70's when we all thought and were told it was healthy for us. Wow! Cocoa Pops!!!!! It's just sugar. Don't bother with it. Just have a small bowl of sugar every morning it will be much easier for you. Oh, and buy...

    All good stuff to raise insulin levels, contribute to pre-diabetes and diabetes itself as well as inflammation in the body. And you reckon that might be good for us?

    Battle of the Homebrand Meat Pies—Coles, Woolworths, IGA, & ALDI

    I would not buy processed foods like this (or any processed foods for that matter) at all. They are extremely harmful to our health. They are full of high carbs, trans fats, vegetable oils etc and should be avoided at all costs. Not even once in a while and not even in moderation (moderation...

    Coles Express is set to ‘vanish’ from petrol stations nationwide

    My on-going experience shows me that in the main petrol vouchers from shopping receipts at Coles are a false economy. I have consistently noted that Shell service stations are more expensive per litre than most other stations. Very rarely will I see one that is selling at the same price or...

    What did this Coles shopper do that had everyone debating?

    Rules are the rules, particularly when it comes to food. It is not my responsibility to wipe down trolleys with antiseptic wipes nor should it be Cole's responsibility after every use other than to maintain trolleys in good condition and general cleanliness. Of course, we had to do this during...

    How much salt is hiding in these everyday fast food and supermarket meals?

    Yes exactly. They don't study this. They (doctors) provide a medicine-based response. Dieticians and nutritionists follow health guidelines which have been determined as the standard practise for care. Until such time as those guidelines are reviewed and changed this is the sort of...

    How much salt is hiding in these everyday fast food and supermarket meals?

    Yes, cut out all processed foods, sugar and carbs. I note most of the foods on the list are just processed crap not only full of preservatives, vegetable oils, sugar, high carb, maltodextrin etc but probably contained highly refined useless salt. Salt is vital in our diets and unless you have...

    This Personal Trainer Eats $6.95 Yum Cha Pork Gyozas for Weight Loss–Are They Your Secret Weapon Too?

    I think unless your doctor is a specialist on what good nutrition is or has studied and researched it, then I would definitely not be going to your doctor for that sort of advice. Remember the majority of doctors offer medicine-based treatment and not preventative based. Good food is medicine...

    This Personal Trainer Eats $6.95 Yum Cha Pork Gyozas for Weight Loss–Are They Your Secret Weapon Too?

    NO, definitely not! The contents of this product are bad for our health. Too many preservatives, inflammatory, and even though salt (if you do not have underlying issues) is good for you, it's probably refined salt and not natural. The person is a personal trainer, more than likely exercises...

    Woolies shopper allegedly accused of theft due to frustrating self-checkout error

    I'm not sure but I think I was told that some of the self-serve checkouts add a sir charge. I don't know whether that is true or not. Without me officially asking and before I do, does anyone have any information on this?

    Groceries Coles deals of the week: Wed 13 September to Tue 19 September

    In the food department the only things on that list I would ever buy would be Olive Oil, Ham and the tea bags. The rest of that food is crap and the savings on those don't mean a thing. Would love to see similar savings where it counts like real food, vegetables and meat.

    'It's outrageous!': Aussie shoppers are getting 'heart palpitations' over the prices of these everyday grocery items

    I will guarantee that most people will discuss how to buy these sorts of items cheaper or where and when to buy them. Some will say life's too short, and a few processed foods now and again won't hurt, whilst a few will talk about not buying them at all as they are bad for health. Most of us...
