Only two servings of fish a week are requisite to garner these benefits. Though this study may give relief to some, Harvard students don’t seem to have bitten...

Very few use partially hydrogenated oil, even for foods generally seen as less healthy, such as pizza or burgers. Legal Seafood and Pizzeria Uno are among the restaurants leading the elimination of trans fats in the United States, according to their websites. Au Bon Pain is now also offering many trans fat-free options...
