ignorance is not bliss....

From 'The You Docs':
"A study of 3,000 young men and women revealed that people who chose fast food two or more times per week gained the most weight over time and were more likely to suffer insulin resistance, a precursor of diabetes.

No wonder: When it comes to fast food, it's not always obvious which items turn you into an Orca lookalike and which leave you thinner than a guppy. Take, for instance, the fact that a reduced-fat blueberry muffin holds 400 calories at Dunkin' Donuts; a glazed doughnut contains 230 (not that either of them is a good breakfast choice, of course). And would you know that two slices of a large Domino's pizza delivers 360 calories; a Southwest salad with crispy chicken at McDonald's brings you 430, without dressing?"

wow...who would have thought?!
...I had a reduced-fat blueberry muffin at Starbucks yesterday...with a skinny mocha...opppss...
