Orono WceRly Timcs, Wedrie~cTay, ~eptemt~vr 3~ 19~7 -7 INTERACTIVE HEALTH In one year the average Anierican consumes, among other things, 100 lbs. of refined sugar, 300 cans of soda pop. 18 lbs. of sweets and candy, and 63 dozen doughnuts. Food manufac- turers spend in excess of $4 Billion per year on -advertis- ing, and much of this total goes towards pushing conve- nience foods and sweets. White sugar, also know as sucrose is obtatned by pro- cessing sugar cane or sugar' beet. It has been proven that 100 gm. portions of carbohy- drate taken as glucose. sucros e, or other sugars, sig- nificantly reduce the ability of neutrophils (a major compo- nent of our white blood celîs - the body's warnlors agatnst Infection) to destroy bacteria. impairment of the white blood ceil activity leads to depressed lmmunity; - the body, quite simply, bas trouble kýeeping itself healthy. Its interesting to note that when we hear the arguments - "but the brain needs sugar" or -I need to keep my sugar level up because I have hypo- glycemia", what Is needed here is not white processed cane sugar. In fact, white sugar, a product denatured, devoid of the enzymes which make the sugar digestible and useful, is actually harmful. Dr. Jensen, In Nature Has A Reme dy, says: "the label reads: sugar" but thelabel does not say "This is crystal- lized stalks of sugar cane. Sugar ti its minerai form is a rich source of minerals and other nutritiveý factors. These are lost by being subj ected to prolonged heat and further impaired by bleaching, etc."- What the brain needs, and needs in largequantities Is GLUCOSE. Glucose is actu- ally the most important CHO in blody metabolism, and occurs naturally in plants and in thxe body fiuids of ai- mrals. You might find the follow- ing points of view interestlng;- Dr. Jensen In The Science and Practise of Iridology Volume 1 states, "'white sugar is the greatest leach that can be put into the body. It robs the body of calcium, and this loss may be the beginntng of arthritls, osteoporosis and many other maladies." In my own particular case, I'm quite sure that being a .sugarholic' contributed to my developing Crobn's Disease and, ultimately, the low nutri- tional state that made cancer possible. 1Ear Mindell in- his renowned Vitamin Bible, makes the dlaim- that "Everyone who has tin the past eaten sugar, white flour or canned food'has some defi- ciency disease."

Steamed green kale is a good bet here. 1Are you worried about your cholesterol level? Refined sugar Is- a possible culprit, if your blood levels show an increase in LDL, the so-called bad guy cholesterol, who deposits himself in arteries, where, joined by other sub- stances, he becomres artery- blocking plaque. Brown sugar. whlch many people assume to be health- er than white, Is merely sugar crystals coated with molasses syrup. Ketchup has 8% more sugar than Ice cream. Canada Dry Tontc Water has approxlmately 18, 1/4 tsp. Sugar in a 12,oz. Serving. Not even medicines are inmmne to added sweeteners. Gaviscon - 2 tablets - con- tains 2400 mg. 0f sugar.ý Mylanta liquid has 2000 mg. Sugar per tablespoon. It's a good idea to check <labels looking for sucrose substitutes such as corn syrup Or corn sugar, -and watch out for words endlng in 'ose' - whlch indicates the presence of a sugar.

STERLING ESTABLISHES $200 million fund to protect quality of drinking water, Envlronmefit and- Energy Minister N0rm Sterling, announced details of a $200 million fitmd that the province has established to ensure Ontario commililnities receive safe and, cl@an drinking_ water. The provincial Water protection Fufid is designed to aid municipâlities that maY require finanéial assistance to upgrade their water and sewage systeffi-s in response to specific hefflth and envi- ronmiental problems. Funding will be made aivailable over three years tô communities that meet eligibility require- ments.> "We're safeguarding the right of everyone in Ontario to a healthy environment,» Mr. Sterling said. -Mis pro- gram is about ensuring that our drinking water is cdean and safe and that our envi- ronment is protected." The announcement fulfilîs the province's commitment made to municipalities under the Who Does What process. "Municipalities have a proven track record i deliv- ering efficient and environ- mentally sound water and sewage services to their coin- munities," the Minister added. 'Annual testlng shows that virtually all of Ontario's water-treatinent systems con- sistent ly meet, provincial drinking water' objectives. This funding ls there for spe- cific communities that might need financial assistance ti the event of a problemn." PROVINCIAL WATER PROTECTION FUND The Provincial Water Protection Fund-is a capital grant program designed to help municipalities in the event of health and environ- mental problemns associated with their water or sewage systems. This program recognizes that as municipalities move to assume full responsibility for the provision of water and sewage services, there may be a need for some provincial assistance to address specif- lc infr-astructure problems. Municipalities must meet stringent criteria to be eligible for this new program. Applicants must: * show a public health or environimental problem with the infr-astructure by demon- strating that their drinktng water consistently, is not meeting Ontario drinking Water Quality Objectives or their treated effluent being discharged into the environ- ment is regularly not meeting requirements set out in cer- tificates of approval or provin- cial policy; - identify cost-effective' solutions to ffixng the prob- lem including.making the best Possible use of existing facilities and joint servicing arrangements: e demonstrate that they are in need of financial assis- tance from the province. The types of projects eligi- ble for funding include: *studies to explore and Identiifr cost-effective solu- tions;, 1* water and sewage treat- ment facilities and assoclated pumping and storage facili- dies; 9 Major components of water and sewage systems: - collection and distribu- tion systems including pipeline and water main extensions. The fund does not cover the normal replacement of aging infrastructure unless there Is a health or environ- mental problem. Nor does it cover the expansion of ser- vices for growth or economxic development. once a problem has been tdentified as eligible for assis- tance, applicants will be required to examine cost- effective solutions, including maktng the best possible use of existing facilities and joint servicing arrangements. The level of funding avail- able for a particular project wil be calculated by consid- erlng: * project cost' * available municipal reserves; a average municipal prop- erty assessment base; *average household income and population.
