Reading Part 1: Notices and labels

Part 2: Benefits of food A Is cheese good for you? Surprisingly, despite its reputation for being fatty, there is plenty of scientific evidence to suggest that it is. For example, recently, Scandinavian researchers discovered that young men who ate large quantities of cheese had significantly reduced levels of cholesterol compared to other groups. In other studies, it was found that cheese might protect our teeth from cavities. We all know that cheese is a great source of calcium and phosphate, both of which help build teeth, but it wasn’t understood until recently that it also has bacteria which kill germs in our mouths that harm our teeth. B Back when I was in my thirties, struggling to lose the weight I put on with each pregnancy, I decided once and for all to give up peanuts. At the time I considered anything containing calories and fat to be my enemy. But, later, once my kids started to love the taste of peanut butter, I fell in love with peanuts again. And I now know that peanuts – in moderation, of course – can have great health benefits. Studies have found eating peanuts five times a week decreases heart disease and reduces the risk of diabetes. Not only that, but, because they are so filling they are, in comparison to crisps or chocolate, a much better snack to eat between meals. C Americans love avocados. I’ve always loved them. When the annual sporting event the Super Bowl is on TV, millions of the fat-filled fruit are eaten across the States! The problem is that they’re so delicious nobody believes they can be good for you! Luckily, though, studies show that avocados are full of nutrients and vitamins, and that people who eat them are healthier. They also offer loads of health benefits. They help fight chronic inflammation in the body, something which causes arthritis, heart disease and cancer. There’s no need to worry they might make you fat – I have a diet rich in avocados. D Low in calories, and a good source of protein (which makes you feel fuller after eating), oysters are something of a superfood to me. They’re delicious too. Ever since I was a kid, growing up in Alabama, where oysters are often available, I’ve eaten them more or less every day. A source of vitamins and iron, one of their most significant benefits is that they give you lots of energy to help you through the day. And I guess that, since they are easily farmed, and grow in large numbers, they are better for the environment. They’re one of the few foods from the ocean we can eat without worrying about reducing the number of creatures in the sea.
