RÏM ©J.P. Capsule Comments with Neale McLean, B.Sc. Phm. Canadians are drinking less alcohol. In 1977 usage was 130.8 litres per person. In 1997, consumption was 99.4 litres. That Includes all home brew and brew- on-site products and duty free sales. Can you take too much Vitamin Cl There is some evidence to say yes. Vitamin C protects cells from injury by naturally- occurring free radicals. It seems that 200 to 500 mg daily Is the right amount but taking more might encourage free radical damage. If you use blood glucose testing meters for good diabetes control, keep the test strips In their foil wrap till fust before use. Exposure to the air for as little as two hours can give a falsely low reading. We eat about 19 teaspoons (about 304 calories) of sugar dally from all sources. If we were to cut that amount In half, we would lose 16 pounds In one year, How's that for a New Year's resolution! Another year has gone by and I want to wish you all a very happy and healthy 1999. Thank you for all your kind comments about this column. We look forward to serving you throughout the coming year with great service by our great staff. Happy New Year!

But, for the emergency emergency department at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, December 10th was just.as "McHappy." The proceeds from McHappy Day and continued donations from McDonald's customers resulted in a $3,000 donation for the purchase of a tym- panogram for the emergency department. Here, Dr. Vieira and nurse Delores McMillan demonstrate the device with help from Ben Wilson, son of Steve and Jcannic Wilson, owners of McDonald's in Bowmanville. A tympanogram is an instrument that provides an exact measurement of pressure in the middle ear that is being exerted on the eardrum. It allows the physician to make a more informed decision over treatment choices to relieve pressure and pain. v.s u PONTIAC/BUICK/GMC PRESENTS r~YZ7zir I \\ u uU PlRhW'i Hr » 6•£>*>.. c-'Jfiift. ilfâhtiaÜ JtSÿïfei.Mlîf i j vAl r-t! uü 'M>7/ i .vi.. :.Jl SmartLease sL:')L';)ifl i (■/ :/ Mi-| . . .... /36 months/St.500 down (excludes freight $645) Purchase poymenl/5645 freight required Financing no SECURITY DEPOSIT Up To 48 Months.
