Do you know what tomorrow is????? Probably my most favorite time of year. It’s the first day of summer! I am very grateful that I get to spend a lot of time in the Hamptons during the summer months. Yoga in the vineyards, kayaking in the bay and the many local farmer’s markets are just a few of the wonderful things I get to enjoy. Corn on the cob, steamers, burgers on the grill and sunsets, with a martini in hand of course, never gets old. So cheers to summer, let’s make this the best one yet!

What Gives With Blood Glucose and Sucralose? The Science Says…
I like to keep my head sane and would like to think my yoga mat does an excellent job of keeping me there. But, when misinformation and frankly, flat out myths, make it to my patients related to NLCS (no and low calorie sweeteners) like sucralose (the sweetening ingredient in original SPLENDA® Sweeteners) and blood sugar levels, I get a little crazy. I’m here to set the record straight: the collective body of evidence shows sucralose doesn’t impact blood sugar control.
Here is more on what the evidence says on this topic. I keep beating this drum over and over again (because I’m so passionate about accurate nutritional information!) and hope the rest of the band comes to play soon. I know one player is beating just as loud as I am – good science – so thanks for keeping a beat and keeping me sane (sorry yoga mat, I still love you!).
