Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello Sucralose is a sweetener that is about 600 times as sweet as sugar. It is actually derived from sugar (sucrose) and is made by chemically replacing 3 oxygen -hydrogen groups with 3 chlorine atoms. The result is a very sweet, safe sweetener that is not altered by high heat and passes through the body without being changed. So it adds no calories and is safe for diabetics as well.

The eye is a transparent organ. Your doctor or eye specialist can tell a lot about your health by looking through your eye onto the retina, a delicate multi -layered area of specialized cells and blood vessels at the back of the eye. Eye diseases, diabetes, blood pressure problems and cholesterol problems can be found during eye exams. Have you had your eyes checked lately? We hear much about high blood pressure but many people have low blood pressure. Some have systolic pressures (the upper number in the reading) as low as 85. If there are no symptoms, that's fine. Low blood pressure certainly decreases the risk of heart attack and stroke. However, if there are symptoms of dizziness, fainting and falling, see your doctor. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
