10/10/2017 Think About It - CappuccinoIf you like frothy coffee, then a cappuccino is probably one of your favourite espresso-based beverages. This is my go-to order if I'm at a nice coffee shop and feel like indulging in a treat, or need a pick-me-up to make it through the day (perks of not being addicted to caffeine). However, I realised as of late that I couldn't adequately describe exactly what it meant to order a cappuccino. I knew it was loosely related to the ratio of milk, espresso, and foam, but that was about it. That ratio is important to know both from a taste and a nutrition perspective, so I decided to find out.

Especially with vegan and plant-based diets on the rise, the decision to consume or avoid red meat has become a contentious one. What are the reasons to stay away from red meat, and are they enough to ban it entirely? Or do these reasons have some important caveats that need to be addressed?
10/4/2017 Think About It - NutellaUnless you have a hazelnut allergy, you’re probably well aware of how delicious Nutella is. I love Nutella and it was personally painful for me to write this (ignorance is truly bliss), but it was highly requested and probably for the best. So, without further adieu, enjoy this Think About It on Nutella!
10/2/2017 The new Nutrition Facts LabelIf you’ve ever found yourself staring at the Nutrition Facts Label on the back of your cereal box in the mornings, you may have noticed that there are some new additions and deletions that have started to appear. The FDA officially announced these changes on May 20, 2016, but manufacturers have until 2018 at the earliest to comply.
9/19/2017 Think About It - TequilaBy popular request, Nutripol is bringing you an alcohol-themed Think About It! We're kicking things off with tequila, which is perhaps one of the most polarising alcoholic beverages on the market (you either love it or you hate it, right?). Learn all about what tequila is actually made out of, what effects over-consumption can have on your health, and the dangers of consuming it on an empty stomach.
