Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
Canadians are drinking less alcohol. In 1977
usage was 130.8 litres per person. In 1997, con-
sumption was 99.4 litres. That includes all home
brew and brew -on-site products and duty free
sales.
Can you take too much Vitamin C? There is some evidence to
say yes. Vitamin C protects cells form injury by naturally -occur-
ring 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 ciabetes.con-
trol, keep the test strips in their foil wrap till just before use.
Exposure to the air for as rdtie as two hours can give a falsely
low reading.
We eat about 19 teaspoons (about 304 calories) of sugar daily
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 resolu-
tion?
Another year has gone by and I want to wish you alt. a very
happy and healthy 1999. Thank you for and your kind.comments
about this column. We look forward to serving you throughout
gout
the coming year with great service by our great staff. Happy
New Years
