Hershey takes aim at Nutella with new chocolate spread Posted: 19 Jan 2014 05:28 PM PST January 20, 2014 The Hershey's Spreads are available in chocolate, chocolate with almonds and, in a Nutella copycat, chocolate with hazelnuts. - AFP/Relaxnews pic, January 20, 2014.American chocolate company Hershey has put Nutella on notice with the launch of its own chocolate spread. Though the Italian brand owned by Ferrero has enjoyed a longstanding monopoly as the original chocolate hazelnut spread, the Pennsylvania-based Hershey Company has created a trio of its own products pitched as an indulgent pairing for everything from fruit, graham crackers, to the more bizarre celery and pickles. The Hershey's Spreads are available in chocolate, chocolate with almonds and, in a Nutella copycat, chocolate with hazelnuts. Interestingly, Hershey is launching a new line of spreads not long after Nutella settled a class-action lawsuit filed by a California mom who lambasted the brand for misleading health claims. The ad vaunted the benefits of its skim milk and hazelnut content. Though chocolate spreads are beginning to make inroads in the US, Nutella could be described as the peanut butter of France and a pantry staple – until recently. In a bid to cut down on rates of obesity and the consumption of trans fats,  France considered passing a law that would have quadrupled the tax on palm oil, the main ingredient in Nutella. Though the so-called "Nutella tax" was eventually voted down, the news succeeded in raising awareness about the product's lack of nutritional value. - AFP/Relaxnews, January 20, 2014.

Study debunks science behind popular blood type diet Posted: 19 Jan 2014 05:13 PM PST January 20, 2014 The blood type diet involves eating – and avoiding – certain foods in relation to one's blood type. - AFP/Relaxnews pic, January 20, 2014.A team of Canadian researchers has quashed the theory behind a popular diet that prescribes eating foods according to your blood type. The news may come as a blow to faithful followers of the internationally best-selling book "Eat Right for Your Type" first penned by naturopath Peter D'Adamo in 1996. Disappointed fans may include celebrities such as Miranda Kerr, Demi Moore and Elizabeth Hurley, who are said to be followers. For their study, published in PLoS One this week, researchers from the University of Toronto examined the dietary intake and blood type of 1,455 healthy young adults. After comparing the information against the food items listed in the book, researchers came to the unequivocal conclusion that the blood type diet is baseless. "It was an intriguing hypothesis so we felt we should put it to the test," said study author Ahmed El-Sohemy in a statement. "We can now be confident in saying that the blood type diet hypothesis is false," According to D'Adamo, different foods are said to react chemically with individual blood types. To lose weight and decrease the risk of chronic diseases, the naturopath advises eating – and avoiding – certain foods in relation to one's blood type. For example, those with a type O blood type are advised to follow a high-protein diet that's light on grains, beans and dairy. Those with type B blood are advised to avoid everything from corn, wheat and lentils to tomatoes and chicken in favor of greens, eggs, and low-fat dairy. The book has sold more than 5 million copies in 50 languages around the world. The Canadian study follows on the heels of another review that debunked the blood type diet, published last year in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. - AFP/Relaxnews, January 20, 2014.
