Healthy Choices Tip of the Week: Excess sugar intake has been linked to the growing obesity epidemic and related illnesses. But how much is too much? The American Heart Association has recently proposed specific guidelines: Most women should consume no more than 25 grams (about 6 teaspoons) of added sugars a day and for men, no more than 37.5 grams (about 9 teaspoons). If you are a soda drinker, look at this! A 16 ounce bottle of soda has about 44 grams (11 teaspoons) of added sugar! The average American consumes about 22 teaspoons of added sugars a day....355 calories (empty calories!)...which are mostly from sodas, other sweetened drinks, desserts, candy and breakfast cereals.

The First Thanksgiving In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast which is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. This harvest meal has become a symbol of cooperation and interaction between English colonists and Native Americans. Although this feast is considered by many to the very first Thanksgiving celebration, it was actually in keeping with a long tradition of celebrating the harvest and giving thanks for a successful bounty of crops. The legacy of thanks, and particularly of the feast, have survived the centuries as people throughout the United States gather family, friends, and enormous amounts of food for their yearly Thanksgiving meal.
