Tip
For a delicious treat, serve pudding with warm cinnamon sauce. In glass bowl or measuring cup, stir together 1 cup (250 mL) corn syrup and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute; stir. Pour over pudding. This sauce is also terrific over ice cream.

Nutrition Fact
Adjusting cholesterol levels
The cholesterol level in your bloodstream does not directly increase from eating the cholesterol in food. A study by the prestigious Harvard School of Public Health demonstrated that eggs actually do not have a negative effect on blood cholesterol levels. This study also found no significant link between eating eggs and developing cardiovascular disease in healthy individuals. In fact, for most people, the best way to reduce blood cholesterol is to cut down on the consumption of saturated fats and trans fats. A large egg contains only 1.5 grams of saturated fats and no trans fats. So go ahead, enjoy eggs every day!
Hint: To determine if a food contains trans fat, check the ingredient list for hydrogenated oil.
