As more people pay attention to what they eat, food manufacturers are trying to convince buyers that their products are healthy. But what does “healthy” really mean as it applies to food? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is in the process of changing the way it defines the word in response to Americans’ growing knowledge of nutrition science, fueling debate about what the new standards should be.

A recent study by researchers at Binghamton University in New York suggests that women need more nutrients in their diet than men in order to maintain positive emotional well-being. [1]
I don’t know about you, but the last thing I want to reach for when I’m feeling depressed is a carrot stick or piece of broccoli. When you’re feeling down, you want a cupcake or fried chicken. But “comfort food” isn’t nearly as comforting as the term would have you believe.
