A great way to get people to eat more sugar!

February 12, 2008

So sad it appears Kris sold out. I remember her from my Viterbo

College days. She was a couple years ahead of our class (each class only had

6-12

dietetic students) and very into her whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds and more

hippy-like than " let's promote corn sweetener " - like!

PS. Granted, pro athletes can afford more junk food/sugar calories than most

of the countries sedentary population that barely burns enough calories to

afford any extra junk calories.

New Web Site Lets You Test Your 'Sweet-Smarts' Just in Time for

Valentine's Day and Easter

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 /PRNewswir

Easter are two of the biggest occasions of the year for confectionary

purchases, which makes the launch of the new Sweet-Smarts Web site

(_http://www.sweet-http://www_ (http://www.sweet-smarts.com/)

<_http://www.sweet-http://www_ (http://www.sweet-smarts.com/) > ) especially

timely, according to Audrae kson,

president of the Corn Refiners Association (CRA). " As part of our

launch,

we're inviting consumers to visit the site and test their knowledge of

sweeteners by taking our 15-point Sweet-Smarts Quiz, " kson

announced.

" We think people will be surprised by what they know and don't know when

it

comes to their Sweet-Smarts.c

The Sweet-Smarts Quiz challenges consumers with general knowledge of

sweeteners with questions such as:

-- What is the sweetest sweetener available?

-- How many different types of honey exist?

-- How many calories are in a gram of sugar?

-- What sweetener helps to keep breakfast bars moist?

From the aspartame in Diet Coke to the sweeteners in bread, the

Sweet-Smarts Web site uses easy-to-follow charts, frequently asked

questions and fact sheets to describe how sweeteners are made and how

they

affect the human body. " Today's food aisle is a wonderland of choices,

but

too often there's confusion when it comes to label ingredients such as

sweeteners, kson noted. " The Sweet-Smarts Web site is designed to

provide consumers with a credible, useful resource that answers many of

the

questions they may have about sugar, honey, high fructose corn syrup and

other sweeteners found in the products they consume every day. The more

people know about sweeteners, the more confidence they'll have to make

healthful, tasty and fulfilling food choices. "

" Reducing consumer confusion about sweeteners should be the goal of

nutrition professionals,nutrition professionals,<WBR> " said e

Nutrition

for the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at Pennsylvania State

University. " Having all the facts at their fingertips will help guide

consumers in making their food choices. As a registered dietitian and

assistant professor of nutrition science, my goal is to give consumers

permission to enjoy sweetened foods and beverages in moderation with

peace

of mind. "

" We intend for this Web site to become the Internet's sweet spot for

the latest research and science-based information on caloric and

non-caloric sweeteners, " kson added.
