Kathrynne... WHEW!!! WHADDA relief! And I'm SURE it was just an oversight on your part in not mentioning them Oreo cookies that lose all caloric content upon being broken, also render ICE CREAM calorieless when crumbled all over the top of a coupla-three scoops or a pint (or two). It's my understanding that when you eat ice cream with crumbled Oreos on it that the Oreos act as a cholesterol-blocker as well. Very versatile food product, them Oreos! This added benefit was recently discovered by researchers at the University of Beverly Hills, which while small, is very prestigious. You can visit the campus to see Oreo research being done and participate in their research program, if you BYOC (bring your own cookies). The U 0f B. Hills is located right between Gucci and Tiffany's. <LOL> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of Kathrynne Holden, MS,RD Sent: Friday, October 03, 1997 1:38 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Re: PD-Related-But-Unofficial Event!

This is absolutely correct. And broken Oreo cookies aren't fattening, either, because all the calories leak out.
