Nutritionists suggest alternatives to pearl jewelry processed meats and peanut butter.

Other Butters: There are options for biwa pearl children with peanut allergies. Peanut allergies don't always translate to other nuts, so some children can try almond butter.

Other peanut butter alternatives include soy nut butter, sunflower seed butter and apple butter.

The frozen food aisle in the grocery store is full of choices, but which ones give you the most nutritional benefit and don't pack a ton of calories?

A Women's Health magazine team of nutritionists tested aisles' worth of items for their annual roundup of the healthiest, tastiest, and most convenient supermarket finds. Lisa Drayer, a contributing editor at Women's Health magazine, shared the magazine's favorites with "Good Morning America."

Below is a sampling of some of their findings. To see the pearl jewelry entire list of 125 Best Packaged Foods of 2009, go to the Women's Health website.

Beyond soda, the term "added sugars" includes any non-natural occurring sugar in our food including the copious amounts of extra sugar now commonly found in processed foods such as cereals, muffins, or even sauces for meat.

Johnson argues that all of these extra calories from added sugars are contributing to the obesity epidemic, which in turn leads to an upward trend in pearl jewelry heart disease. The AHA estimates modern day sugar consumption tacks on an extra 76 calories each day over what the average person consumed in 1970.

"The high intake of added sugar has been implicated in a number of negative health outcomes, but primarily this targets obesity," said Johnson. "Sugars have been implicated in high blood pressure and inflammation which are risk factors for akoya pearl heart disease."

Many dietary specialists hailed the new guidelines. However some questioned whether making yet another complicated equation in the list of nutrition recommendations marketed to the public helps people eat healthier or just confuses the average consumer.

"Strictly from a health standpoint, sugar is a 'triple threat' - it provides extra calories, no nutrients, and it may displace other foods and nutrients in the biwa pearl diet that are more beneficial," said Dr. Donald D. Hensrud, an associate professor of Preventive Medicine and Nutrition at the Mayo Clinic.

ABC News contributor Dr. David Katz agreed.

"The recommendations are reasonable, and if anything, overdue," said Katz, the director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center and an ABC News contributor.

metabolism -- in rodents, anyway

Millions of Americans want to lose weight. On their treadmills and over their salads they dream of a quick fix that doesn't require excessive dieting and exercise.

A promising new drug to control obesity and diabetes is in the works.

And the hope that those dreams could become reality got a boost Monday when a team of researchers at Indiana University released a study in the pearl jewelry online journal Nature Chemical Biology that showed that two natural hormones combined into a single drug suppressed appetite and increased metabolism -- in rodents, anyway.

"There's a global epidemic of obesity," said Richard DiMarchi, chairman of the chemistry department at Indiana University in Bloomington and the study's lead researcher. "Our focus is finding therapies to lower body weight and treat diabetes."

"I'm excited. It is rodent work that's representative of human obesity," said DiMarchi. "What we're doing is using the proven ability of two hormones to biwa pearl stop appetite and use more calories."

The drug, which researchers say might one day be taken as a weekly injection, happens to be the active ingredients in two medications already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Obesity specialists not affiliated with the study expressed enthusiasm over the findings.

"This has potential," said Keith-Thomas Ayoob, associate professor in the department of pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, N.Y. "It's long been known that combination therapies can work well -- that is, multiple drugs at the same time to treat chronic illness, viruses, et cetera.

"With this paper, we see that a single drug is developed that acts in two different ways, which is a little different. It's like getting one drug to akoya pearl work in two distinct ways."

Likewise, Dr. Lou Aronne, weight-loss author and obesity expert, said that the new research "emphasizes that many approaches will probably be effective.

"Remember, even though these are mice, the treatment is affecting two receptor systems that exist in humans," he said.

Be fair and show those results," one viewer wrote in to biwa pearl ABCNews.com. "I have an extra 20 [pounds] on me from eating at a fast food place for 2 years.
