In one experiment, the scientists showed two groups of children the same half-hour cartoon. ( Read more about Watching TV Food Ads Linked to Increased Snacking)

7 Easy Switches to Healthier Eating
It can be hard to change the eating habits of a lifetime. But it becomes easier when we take an unhealthy or low-nutrition food and substitute for it something that's similar - but very healthy. It's amazing how just a relatively few dietary substitutions like this can make a huge difference in our health. Here are seven good such substitutions: ( Read more about 7 Easy Switches to Healthier Eating)

Healthy Breakfast a Predictor of Lower Weight
People who ate a healthy breakfast were found generally to weigh less than their counterparts who either ate a high-calorie, fatty meal or skipped it altogether. So concluded a recent study, which was reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It examined responses from more than 12,000 American adults who took part in three federal health surveys between 1999 and 2004. The research found that men who ate a healthy breakfast weighed less on average, and that women also weighed less if they ate any sort of breakfast at all, healthy or not.

To Lose Weight, Join the "Portion Patrol"
America is awash in calories. And as the calorie floodwaters rise, the numbers of us who are overweight and obese rise along with them. One of the main streams swelling the calorie flood is the prevalence of large-portioned meals and drinks - super-sized fast-food meals, all-you-can-eat buffets, seemingly bottomless sodas and slushes. And the way to cut off the stream's influence is to join the "portion patrol" - that is, to rigorously regulate the size of the meals we eat.

Caloric Restriction May Come in a Capsule
A common compound found in red grapes and red wine has been found to mimic the healthy-aging effect in mice of caloric restriction, that is, an ultra-low-calorie diet. Receiving regular doses of resveratrol guaranteed dramatically healthier aging for the mice, leaving them with strong hearts, clear eyes, flexible muscles and strong bones well into old age, even if they started taking the chemical in middle age. Caloric restriction, though effective in producing a relatively disease-free aging process, is actually impractical and perhaps dangerous for humans. But taking a resveratrol pill is not. In fact, the compound has been found to have no noticeable side effects. ( Read more about Caloric Restriction May Come in a Capsule)

Tips on Living to Be 100
The number of centenarians in America has been steadily rising over the past century - from about 3,000 in 1950, to 37,306 in 1990, to 73,674 in 2004, the most recent year in which those 100 or older have been counted. And the U.S. Census Bureau expects there to be some 1.1 million in the year 2050 - provided bogeymen such as ever-increasing obesity and diabetes don't wreck the predictions. But the secret of living to be 100 or better isn't just in the genes. In fact, a variety of researchers believe genetic factors account for only 25 percent to 35 percent of a person's longevity. The other 65 percent to 75 percent is determined by one's lifestyle. ( Read more about Tips on Living to Be 100)

A Beauty Spa in Your Refrigerator
You just might discover the best cosmetic medicine not at your local plastic surgeon or spa but at your local grocery store. Experts have identified an increasing number of "beauty foods" that act to add youthful qualities to skin, hair and teeth. For example, salmon and other omega-3-fatty-acid-rich foods help smooth wrinkles. Cranberries help whiten teeth. And spinach, broccoli and Swiss chard help produce glossy, well-conditioned hair.
