Did you know?
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death among babies between 1 month and 1 year old.

Steps to take
To reduce the risk of SIDS, put a baby to sleep with a pacifier and on his or her back. Do this for the first 12 months, unless the baby’s doctor advises otherwise. The baby should sleep on a firm mattress without pillows, stuffed toys, and fluffy blankets. Find out about SIDS from SidsCenter.org.

Artificial sweeteners are sugar substitutes. As sugar consumption in the United States has increased, so has the consumption of artificial sweeteners. Commonly used sweeteners include:

• Aspartame (Equal, Nutrasweet) is about 200 times sweeter than sugar. After consuming this product people have reported experiencing everything from headaches to brain and mood disorders, depression, anxiety, hyperactivity, and memory loss among many other symptoms.
• Cyclamate (Sucaryl) is 30 to 50 times sweeter than sugar. Banned in the US since 1969, it is still used in some non-US markets.
• Saccharin (Sweet ‘n Low) is 350 times sweeter than sugar and is used in many dietetic foods and as a sugar substitute.
• Acesulfame Potassium (Ace K, Sunnett, Sweet One) is 200 times sweeter than sugar and is widely used around the world. Two rat studies suggest that this sweetener causes cancer.
