My favorite vice since giving up laxative pills. They do have a laxative effect which is why a lot of elderly people eat prunes in the morning or drink prune juice. In small amounts, it helps keep you regular (bowel movements). In large amounts, well bring some reading material with you to the bathroom...you'll be there awhile. ;-)

The good: 1 cup has very low sodium, cholesterol and saturated fat. It's a wonderful source of dietary fiber and vitamin K. The bad - a large portion of the cals come from sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose).

Use this to find nutritional values on foods:
