And now there’s green stuff

I have frequently been in restaurants that have containers at each table containing packets of sweeteners: the white ones contain sugar, pink is saccharin, and blue is aspartame. I happen to like the yellow stuff: sucralose itself is white, but the packets are yellow, and so I somewhat illogically call the product by the color of its packaging:... Read more Chevron

Diabetes and H1N1

Everyone should be back in school now. In one of my recent blogs, I discussed a "teacher cheat sheet" that is helpful for teachers on the front lines.
