Bonnie: Tropicana's latest juice supplies 3 grams of fiber in every 8-ounce glass, or about as much as is found in a medium orange. Fiber is good for us. It helps improve gastrointestinal functions and is thought to lower the risk of various diseases (type- 2 diabetes, certain cancers and heart disease). And yet most Americans get only half of what's recommended daily.
The fiber in this juice, though, is not from an orange but from Fibersol-2, a corn-derived soluble fiber. It's the same product used to boost fiber in Dannon Light 'n Fit With Fiber yogurt and Quaker Take Heart Instant Oatmeal. All of these are undoubtedly easier to stomach than Metamucil. And all offer their own nutritional benefits. Orange juice, for instance, is also rich in vitamin C.

Dannon Light 'n Fit Carb Control. Strawberries 'n Cream, Peaches 'n Cream, Raspberries 'n Cream and Vanilla Cream. $2.49 per package of four 4-ounce cups.
Bonnie: Buyers beware! At first I thought Dannon Light 'n Fit Carb Control was just another sugar-free Dannon yogurt. Although Dannon is a yogurt-maker and this product is sold in a store's yogurt section and looks like yogurt, Dannon Carb Control isn't actually yogurt at all. It's a "cultured dairy snack." While cultured pasteurized milk is the primary ingredient of most yogurts, water is the main one in Dannon Light 'n Fit Carb Control. When you buy this new product, you're paying for mostly water.

NEW YORK - The sun is climbing high over Central Park this midweek morning, splashing its rays onto the multitude of joggers, strollers, dog-walkers and bicycle-riders winding their way up and down the hub of Manhattan.
The human traffic is humming along, until it hits the cross street at famed restaurant Tavern on the Green. The blue and orange pillars traversing the road are a problem. The explanation? Read the nearby sign blocking entry from Central Park West.

Yoplait Delights Parfait Lowfat Yogurt. Chocolate Raspberry, Triple Berry Creme, Lemon Torte and Creme Caramel. $2.99 per package of four 4-ounce cups. Bonnie: Regular readers of this column know of my bias against artificial sweeteners such as the ones found in these new Yoplait Delights Parfaits. To me, they have an unpleasant aftertaste.
If that doesn't bother you, then you may delight in these new layered yogurt parfaits with only 100 calories and 1.5 grams of fat, and 15 percent of daily calcium per serving. I like the lemon best and the caramel the least, as it was too sweet. And I like the two- flavor concept.
...Those include Dannon's Double Delights (1994), Stonyfield Farm's whole milk Moo-la-la (2003) and Yoplait's Light, Thick and Creamy Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Roll an...

It was a fad, you said. It would last as long as Howard Dean's candidacy, as the Spice Girls' career.
How wrong you were. If you've doubted the longevity of the low- carb phenomenon, take a stroll through your local supermarket. In less than a year, low-carb products have moved from specialty markets and health food stores to the shelves and even entire sections of King Soopers, Safeway, Wal-Mart, Target, 7-Eleven and almost everywhere else people shop for food.
