The World's healthiest meal

A team of researchers inspired by 222 food-related health claims recently approved by the European Commission have come up with one meal that incorporates them all. It's an airline meal concept that includes:
-Starter: fresh and smoked salmon terrine that have the claim to be good for the arteries, heart, and the brain. Plus a high fiber multigrain roll which covers 17 health claims in one bun
-Salad: mixed leaf side salad with an extra virgin olive oil dressing that is aimed at maintaining normal cholesterol levels.
-Main dish: chicken casserole with lentils and vegetables that covers claims related to iron absorption and minerals. Moreover, the panthotenic acid found in lentils can help reduce tiredness and improve mental performance.
-Dessert: live yogurt blancmange pudding featuring walnuts and a sugar-free caramel flavoured sauce that helps maintain the health of your teeth and gut as well as a healthy blood glucose level.
-Drink: customed cranberry, raspberry and elderflower flavoured sports drink that is rich in nutrients such as biotin, calcium, zinc, chromium, copper, iron, potassium, selenium and magnesium. Not to forget also spring water.

This menu promises to be appetizing and tasty and the dishes could work just as well at home too.

Tropicana Juice Not So "Natural" After All

Orange juice maker Tropicana markets its brand as being fresh and have labels such as "great-tasting 100 per cent orange juice". However, a series of lawsuits nationwide state that the juice shouldn't be labeled "natural" since it is so heavily processed and has added chemically engineered "flavored packs" to keep it fresh.

The orange juice lawsuits are just the latest disputes over "all natural" claims. Part of the problem, lawyers agree, is that consumers are looking for healthier products, and companies have responded by creating and branding their products as "all natural" even though it might not be the case.

Tropicana lawsuits want the company to modify their marketing and stop using words such as " fresh", " natural" and pure". In that way, consumers would be more aware of what they are buying.
