Healthy Facts

This information was found in the book "The Calorie King: Calorie, Fat, & Carbohydrate Counter". I highly recommend this little book if you are new to the diet lifestyle. I believe it was like $6 at Walmart. I got one for home and one for the car. Their website is www.calorieking.com
