Does it sound too good to be true? What is this mysterious super-food, you ask? We'll give you one more hint: you can make it yourself, and you'll never run out. And the secret ingredient is...

You may recall that just after Thanksgiving, we reported on a new study showing that orange veggies (read: pumpkin pie) are great for you. We ended with a little quip: to get a variety of fruits and vegetables, you better have some blueberry pie, too. Well, science has caught up with our comic stylings - it turns out we were right. Purple fruits may help fight dementia and other diseases.

You may think there's a typo in that headline, but you read it right. Oh, and he's a nutritionist. Are you confused yet?

Back in August, we reported on a debate that was polarizing San Francisco: whether or not to ban the happy meal. Well, the city board just took a vote, and it's official. Happy Meals are no longer welcome in the city by the bay.

One clause in the new healthcare bill, passed back in March, requires that restaurants clearly post calories and other nutritional data on their menus. New regulations from the Food and Drug Administration spell out the changes, but restaurants are dragging their feet.

It's almost that simple. A new study finds that drinking water at certain times can help you drop the pounds. But what isn't the media telling you?

A new study shows that the risk of developing type 2 diabetes drops dramatically for people who do one simple thing. What is it? (Here's a hint: your parents were right all along.)

McDonald's is the quintessential American fast-food chain and the Happy Meal is its flagship item. But recently there's been a Grumpy Debate surrounding the Happy Meal as San Francisco considers legislation that would effectively ban the boxed fare.
