With so many companies being condemned for false labeling, how are we supposed to know EXACTLY what we are eating? Which is better? "no added sugar" or "reduced in sugar"? With hundreds of variations, it is very difficult to decipher these days. Ryan Lowery discusses a study done on Canadian regulations governing sugar claims.

Consumers believe products with "no added sugar" claims are healthier and lower in calories. But is there evidence to support this belief? In a new study published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, researchers at the University of Toronto report that prepackaged food and beverages labelled with claims such as "no added sugar" or "reduced in sugar" can have lower sugar levels than products without sugar claims but may not have notable reductions in calories and some can contain amounts of sugar considered in "excess" by the World Health Organization.

Holiday Recycle Tips

Shellie Gardner talks about recycling during the holiday season. Here are a few tips Shellie Gardner gives: 

Christmas Lights

* Make sure your lights are “finished” - use them up

* If they’ve never been used, donate to charity, pass them on to a young family or family members or give them to a family affected by the storms

* Take worn out lights to a local recycle facility, but call ahead to make sure they accept them.

Wrapping and Packaging

* Choose “minimal” or frustration free packaging for toys and gifts

* Use fabric bags each year to “wrap” presents instead of paper - use rich fabrics in the colors you are using for your tree - make them, find them on amazon, pay for a handy person to make them — reuse them year after year.

Trees

Choose a live tree that can be planted after the season or recycle your tree with a city mulch project

Gifts

“When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things – not the great occasions – give off the greatest glow of happiness.” – Bob Hope

Purchase gifts for kids and adults with an eye on longevity and use — will this be used longer than Christmas morning and discarded?

Shower your kids with a few great things instead of a high number of things to “just open”.
