Sugar Factoid:
Parental soft drink intake has a stronger
influence than children's peers.
(http://www.eatright.org/cps/rde/xchg/ada/hs.xsl/home_4496_ENU_HTML.htm)
High Fructose Corn Syrup Factoid:
Fructose reduces high density lipoproteins (good
cholesterol) and raises triglycerides.
Nancy Appleton, PhD
Tip:
Add a slice
of orange, lemon, lime or cucumber to your water
for zero calories and lots of flavor. |

The Holiday
Inn Civic Center reports on their employee
roof garden, inspired by the Network
Worksite Program’s Be Sugar Savvy messages.
“By the way we had our first HARVEST - We
picked - peppermint - basil - and four other
types of herbs, the kitchen will be using
the herbs for cooking - extra was
distributed to our employees.”

Saturday, June
14th, was the Alameda Soda Free Summer
Kick-off which centered on a Soda Buy Back
Program (modeling after Senator Perata’s gun
buy back program) at a low income housing
complex in Hayward. It included the
buy back, a soda dump, joining the SFS
campaign, nutrition Olympics, nutrition
bingo, educational displays, hula hoop and
jump rope contests, a tattoo station, and
water tasting. Residents earned
raffle tickets by bringing in soda, winning
at bingo, and playing games and won locally
donated prizes (skate boards, razor
scooters, blender, lazy (efficient?) Susan
tray, coffee, sports bags, footballs, etc).
Media coverage included a KTVU spot that ran
Sat, Sun, and Mon which featured Alameda
County’s “SFS Mom” talking about giving soda
to her two year old - no more!

The Network
Worksite Program continues to include Be
Sugar Savvy/Rethink Your Drink messages and
training workshops around the Bay Area.
As a result, the San Francisco Civic Center
Holiday Inn management has replaced free
sodas with free soda waters and 100% fruit
juices for employees. At Christopher
Ranch, in Gilroy, employees report drinking
water instead of the formerly ubiquitous
sodas and reducing fast food intake—with
noticeable weight loss as a result!
