SOPHIA LOREN COOKBOOK VOTED `LEAST HEALTHY'

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Wireless Flash) -- Sophia Loren's kettle may boil when she hears this: her latest celebrity cookbook has been voted the "least healthy celebrity cookbook." The pro-vegetarian Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine claims Loren's cookbook, "Sophia Loren's Recipes And Memories," "barely offers any healthy options" and is chock full of recipes for red meat. Other celebrity cookbooks getting a thumbs-down include.... -- "Florence Henderson's Short-Cut Cooking:" Its recipes cut down cooking time, but they do little to cut fat. -- "Dieting With The Duchess" by Sarah Ferguson: It emphasizes fatty pork and beef over veggies. -- Even "Jenny Craig's Simple Pleasure, Recipes To Nourish Body And Soul" is blasted by the doctors because it emphasizes dairy products over animal-free vegan cuisine.
