Girl Scout Cookies

So which Girl Scout cookies are the most healthy — or perhaps I should say the least unhealthy?

The most figure-friendly Girl Scout cookies are those with the fewest fat grams and calories per sensible serving. The most heart-friendly cookies, meanwhile, are those lowest in saturated fat — which often match up with those lowest in total fat and calories.
