Titbits Issues...

It's bad to read this before Chinese New Year, but since I did, I should share it with all of you (WARNING! Read ahead only if you WANT to spoil your Chinese New Year mood!):

1. 4 mandarin oranges = 1 plate of rice :O
2. Blood glucose level will go up if taken too much "yee sang"
3. Individuals can gain an average of 2kg to 3kg by over-indulging in the two weeks of festivities
4. The fat and weight gained "can stay there until the next festival comes around"
5. "100ml of beer typically contains four grams of alcohol, which translates into 14gm of sugar"
6. "Nian gau" or "kuih bakul" has high carbohydrate content and is very sweet
7. Peanuts have high fat content
