Association Between Sugar Consumption And Race/Ethnicity, Family Income And Education
The intake of added sugars in the United States is excessive, estimated by the US Department of Agriculture in 1999-2002 as 17% of calories a day. Consuming foods with added sugars displaces nutrient-dense foods in the diet. Reducing or limiting intake of added sugars is an important objective in providing overall dietary guidance. In a study of nearly 30,000 Americans published in the August 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, researchers report that race/ethnicity, family income and educational status are independently associated with intake of added sugars. Groups with low income and education are particularly vulnerable to eating diets with high added sugars.

Clinic Serving People Living With HIV In Northern Virginia Opens

A new clinic, called the INOVA Juniper Program, opened in Northern Virginia on Wednesday to meet increasing demand for HIV/AIDS medical services in the area, WUSA9.com reports. The clinic helps to fill a gap after the failing economy forced the Washington, D.C.-based Whitman-Walker Clinic to close a branch that served the area last year. Karen Berube, HIV care specialist and the new medical director for the Juniper program, said there is an immense need for HIV/AIDS services in Northern Virginia. The new clinic will serve about 200 clients (Vance, WUSA9.com, 6/17). This information was reprinted from dailyreports.kff.org with kind permission from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
