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!
