If it's going to give you sleepless nights, it's probably not worth it." In other words, find what works for you, but find it soon...
...surprise lunch specials, the Tea House does serve some familiar Chinese dishes. Dim sum ($3.50) is available, although the selection is limited compared to most Chinese restaurants.

Under Food and Drug Administration pressure, makers are promising to clean up their act. Bottom line: pick the right bar for your needs, but remember that you may do just as well with low-fat yogurt or a few turkey slices on whole wheat--and for less than the nearly...
