With holidays rounding the corner who of us is not thinking of all the calories up and coming? What about moms pie or grandmas fudge? So inevitably some of us will try to cut calories by turning to artificial sweeteners. But are these safe? This article may have you thinking twice before grabbing that tasty diet cola at the next Rotary meeting.
Artificial sweeteners were designed to be sugar substitutes. Sounds great right? But what does the artificial imply? There are five artificial sweeteners in the marketplace including: saccharin, neotame, acesulfame potassium, aspartame, and sucralose. Of the five sucralose and aspartame are the most common. Sucralose is a relatively new additive. It is marketed under the name Splenda. Its preparation involves chlorinating sucrose. Yes, you did read chlorinating. But isn't chlorine a known carcinogen, you ask? Why would the FDA allow toxic materials to be used in our food and beverages? A recent study, which was published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, found that Splenda reduces the amount of good bacteria in the intestines by 50%, increases the pH level in the intestines, and contributes to increases in body weight. Wait a second so this chemical may cause weight gain? Is anyone confused here? It also may interfere with medications. Instead of being absorbed as intended, medicines could go right to the intestines and bypass their target. In a study performed at Purdue University, researchers compared rats who were given plain sugar versus artificial sweetener. The rats given artificial sugar gained more weight, put on more body fat, and didn't make up for it by cutting back later. Basically, artificial sweeteners alter the way our body regulates sugar. Problems with self-regulation might explain in part why obesity has risen in parallel with the use of artificial sweeteners. So grab a water or even a natural juice beverage. Stay clear of artificial sweeteners. If you must have soda opt for regular (although these have high fructose corn syrup, also toxic). One great way to cut back on calories during the holiday season is to avoid all those beverages we consume on a daily basis that are full of empty calories. This includes Frappuccinos, lattes, colas, and yes even those large sized Jamba juice smoothies. Opt for water, and you wont have to change your belt positioning during the Holiday season!

PRESIDENTS CORNER

NOVEMBER 8, 2011

In 1917 the RI President proposed that an endowment be set up for the purpose of doing good in the world.

As Mike Anderson announced both in an

email and at last weeks meeting, November is Rotary Foundation (TRF) month. When I rst started in Rotary, not that long ago, I wondered so what. Why do they ask me for money and I dont really understand what it is for. Maybe I wasnt listening as I should have been or there was so much information coming at me, it was hard to gure out this from that. So because of my earlier confusion, I decided to look into the history, what TRF does, and why should I give. ! In 1917 the RI President proposed that an endowment be set up for the purpose of doing good in the world. In 1928, when the fund had grown to $5000, it was renamed The Rotary Foundation and became a distinct entity within RI. 5 trustees were appointed to hold, invest, manage, and administer all of its property . . . as a single trust, for the furtherance of the purposes of RI. 2 years later, the Foundation made its rst grant of $500 to the International Society for Crippled Children, later known as Easter Seals. In 1947, after the Depression and WWII, Paul Harris, Rotarys founder, died and contributions began pouring into RI and the Paul Harris Memorial Fund was created to build the Foundation. That year the rst Foundation program, the forerunner to Ambassadorial Scholarships, was established. Although it is the oldest and purported best-known program, I was unfamiliar with it. Since its inception, more than 40,000 men and women from about 100 counties have studied abroad under its auspices. Today, it is one of the worlds largest privately funded international scholarships programs. The purpose of the program is to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries and geographical areas. The program sponsors academic year scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for qualied professionals pursuing vocational studies. While abroad, scholars serve as goodwill ambassador to the host country, and give

presentations about their homeland to Rotary clubs and other groups. TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK, since we have the full month of November as Foundation month. Look for Ambassadorial Scholars to come to our club to talk with us. Jerry is working in squeezing one or all into his booked scheduling. We currently have three scholars studying at Stanford during the 2011-2012 academic year. Toby Futer, from New Zealand, studying Law; Jack Sujin Ko, from South Korea studying Education; and Pia-Maria Zottl from Austria, also studying law. ! I received an email from a young man, Felmer Lenida, the Interact District 5170 CoOutreach Coordinator 2011-2012. He is also the Livermore High School Interact Co-President and Livermore High Hip-Hop President. He received a phone call from a Willow Glen High School student, Matt Malani, who along with other students at the school, are interested in starting an Interact Club and all they need is a sponsoring Rotary Club, OURS, to begin. The Willow Glen Club had been working with the high school and the Interact Club as I understand. Either that or the high school students are wanting to start a club and are looking for us and remember the Willow Glen Rotary Club!! I did mention to him that we are interested in starting one at junior high level, Citizen Schools, as well and he said that there is no problem at all in having one club with two Interact Clubs. The main thing we need is willing club members to go to their meetings once per week. The attendees can alternate between members. Again, this is more reason that club members MUST have the Youth Protection Training and ngerprinting. Speaking of that, Janine mentioned that ngerprinting can be done at the Sheriffs Department for about $10. Janine, would you conrm this and let us know the address for those who would prefer to go there.
