How soon we forget…

Some months ago I wrote about the cigarette tax– mentioning, that if the additional tax was added it was only a matter of time before that Coke you may be swigging on right now, would be taxed as well.  It seems as though,  (that train of thought —  the Fat Tax), may be coming to fruition in some states, by state government increasing tax on Pop… 

Again, I say, enough is enough.  Wake up America— what we can eat, drink and whether or not we should smoke is up for us to decide to do or not, not the government!

Promote Reading Literacy

     Writing what I know is always the easiest, but taking on a challenge just inspires me.  I’ve always been a believer in incorporating story time in a child’s daily routine.  Reading to a child is so important, that research shows that if you read a book to a small child every day, that by the time they reach kindergarten– they could already be reading themselves.  Now that is what I call a worthwhile investment in your child’s future!

       Just fifteen minutes a day for story time is a powerful beginning to promoting reading literacy.

Sugar Alcohols Slowly Metabolised Carbohydrates

Sugar Alcohols such as Maltitol and Lacitol are sugar substitutes and are slowly metabolized carbohydrates that generally causes a smaller rise in our blood glucose levels.  Fructose “sweet sugar” found in many fruits and honey, has a low glycemic index as  it takes a long time to be broken down by the body, which results in slow release of sugar as well.
