When you’re in a restaurant and you need to choose your sweetener for your tea or coffee, you usually have a choice. There's the yellow bag, the pink bag, the blue bag, or of course the white bag, known as sugar. Everyone I've noticed has a certain color bag they are looking for. The question is, are artificial sweeteners bad for you? The answer is, No. In a diet, artificial sweeteners are considered "free foods." The sugar substitutes don't count as a carbohydrate, a fat, or any other exchange. And they allow some people who have been restricted because of diabetes or weight to enjoy the sweetness of foods without all the extra calories. And they don’t raise blood sugar levels.

With all the rain we’ve had this summer, It’s not too late to get out and do some much needed yard work. And here’s the best part, it’s good for you. To help you understand the benefits of gardening, St. John’s has a special health talk planned on the subject. So mark it on your calendar now. Master Gardener Pedro Pantoja will be at St. John’s this Friday, July 13th at 10:00 a.m. in the Mercy Conference Center. He’ll share his ideas to help make gardening more pleasurable and rewarding. For more information, call St. John’s Referral One at 625-2000 or log onto stj.com.
