5 Worst Amusement Park Foods

ByBrie Cadman, DivineCaroline

Summertime is high time foramusement park vacations. But a few days among the roller coasters and Disney characters might leave you with more than you bargained forincluding a few extra pounds. While running from one roller coaster to the next at Six Flags or exploring every aspect of Disneys Frontierland might entail serious caloric expenditure, its not likely to combat the temptation ofchurros, funnel cakes, chili-cheese fries, and the abundance of foods that simply scream to be sampled.Surely a good vacation means leaving the calorie-counting at home and indulging a bit in such once-a-year treats. But some of these park offerings might leave you with buyers remorse and indigestion.Funnel Cakes
Nothing says summertime fair food like funnel cakes. Fried batter topped with powdered sugar and served warmits like a plate-size doughnut. Though usually eaten just once a year, this indulgence can either be bad or really bad. Sea World in San Diego, for instance, serves up aBrownie la Mode Funnel Cakea chocolate funnel cake topped with vanilla soft-serve and hot fudge. Knotts Berry Farm tops theirs withchocolate syrup and bacon. And Six Flags has various deluxe versions of the traditional; you can have it with ice cream, fudge, whipped cream, sweetened apples, strawberries you name it, and you can pretty much get it on your funnel cake.Better bet: instead of going all out, opt for regular, plain funnel cake and split it; at over 750 calories and forty grams of fat, its worth sharing.

Red Wine Reduced Breast Cancer Cells

Italian researchers from the University of Calabria say they demonstrated how a key ingredient in red wine inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cells . Resveratrol is the ingredient they say might be useful in the treatment of breast cancer, in addition to primary therapies. In their experiment resveratrol was applied to different cells and compared to cells that received no treatment. The cells receiving resveratrol showed a decrease in growth. A large reduction in estrogen receptor levels was believed to be related to the inhibition of the breast cancer cells. Their research study was published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies forExperimental Biology. These findings are exciting, but in no way does it mean that should people go out and start using red wine or resveratrol supplements as a treatment for breast cancer, said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief. (Source: ScienceDaily.com ) He said the research is more about the potential of resverat

Written by Jessica Cruel for YourTango.com New research shows that getting married could lengthen your life for up to 17 years .A study published in The American Journal Of Epidemiology reveals that single men have a 32 percent higher chance of death than married men across a lifetime. That means they could die eight to 17 years before the average married man of loneliness? Single women fare a bit better: They have a 23 percent (or about seven to 15 years) lower life expectancy compared to their married peers. This data is based on 90 studies of around 500 million people compiled over the last 60 years by researchers at the University of Louisville: No small feat. Younger singles face greater chances of early death. The risk of death for 30 to 39-year-old singles was 128 percent higher than for married people of the same age. On the other hand, 70-year-old singles only had a 16 percent higher risk of death. Perhaps its because theyve survived a single youth and emerged unscathed. These
