Taco Bell might be a relative new-comer to the breakfast scene, but its innovative menu made it an instant hit with fast food fans. Most chains offer an all-too-similar selection of breakfast sandwiches, but Taco Bell’s 15-item breakfast menu introduced us to items like the grilled breakfast burritos, AM Crunchwraps, and a breakfast quesadilla. So what time does Taco Bell stop serving breakfast? Taco Bell starts serving items from the breakfast menu at 6 a.m. Breakfast is then served until 11 a.m.—a full half hour later than other fast food chains like McDonald’s and Burger King, which need that time to clear their griddle space for the lunchtime burger menu. Breakfast is available for dine-in, carry-out, or drive-thru. In addition to its original breakfast items, Taco Bell also offers staples like hash browns, coffee, iced coffee, and a variety of sauces and add-ons to customize you meal. To find a…

Soda could cause cancer tumors to grow, study shows
Think your 3 p.m. Coca-Cola pick-me-up isn’t a huge problem? You might want to reconsider. New research revealed that your sugary soda addiction could actually cause serious health problems — even cancer. According to The Sun, it was the increase in bowel cancer cases in people under 35 that spurred the interest of Dr. Lewis Cantley, of Cornell University, to look for answers. Cantley, along with his colleagues, suspected that an increased consumption of high-fructose corn syrup was to blame. To test the theory, cancer-prone mice were fed high-fructose corn syrup (amounting to about one can of Coke per day for a human). The study showed that the tumors were “directly eating the sugar… the cancer was using fructose and glucose together to more than double its growth rate.” Yikes! Excluding skin cancers, bowel cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in the United States. According to the American Cancer…
