Our addiction to sugar is costing us more than dollars..its costing us our health. World famous researcher Dr. John Yudkin M.D. Phd., Professor of Physiology at Queen Elizabeth College, London University for 10 years fol- lowed by 17 years as Profes- sor of Nutrition and Dietetics states that "If only a fraction of what is already known about the effects of sugar were revealed in relation to any other material used as a food additive, that ma1terial would be promptly banned". .Dr. Robt Atkins says "we are victims of carbohydrate poisoning..the most killing disease of the 2Oth century ".- We conisumie more sugar in two weeks (2 lbs. per person per week) than we did ini a whole year two centuries ago. The resuit; ovcrweight, and cardiovascular diseases which accounts for t.he majority of deaths from ail causes, plus a whole spectruni of degenera- tive diseases. Dr. Carlton Fredericks, noted nutritionist says "2517 of total sugar consumption in the U.S. is in soft drinks." To drive home the point Dr. Fredericks stated that there is more steil used in the manufacture of soft drink bottles caps than in ail the automobile bodies produced in a year. in U.S. Our own bodieÏ are breaking down un- der the killing onslauglit of our Cola - cake - catsup - cookies and candy- bar culture.

Grand Jury Report' A recent Grand Jury Re- port for the General Sessions of the Peace for the Judizial District of Durham recorn- mended that several "pro- blem " prisoners in the Whitby Jail be transferred.to' psychiatric units. The report also suggested that correctiîonal officers receive further training in how to cope with inmiates requîring psychiatric care. This suggestion resulted from a statemient by Superintend- cnt Frank GuI that the number of "problem" in- mates is increasing. In addition, the Grand Jury recommended that, because recreational facilities ini the jail are inadequate for the numiber of inmates there, they should be expanded. The Grand Jury, which commenced sitting Noveniber 13, said it was impressed with the efficiency of the jail's personnel, the security and the cleanliness of the building and the manner in which Superintendent GuIlanswered the inmiates' complaints. The report also suggested that improvernents be made at the Durham Region Court Flouse. According to the report. holding celîs, containing adjacent toilet and lueker faciliies should be mnoved to ing taflce acciden t pt-oblerns- lx one t/at is escaîating iii importance wit/î ever>' pass- ing season.

The report also said that parking facilities bce 'expanded night security personnel be provided (and receive priority to number 18 police station being vacated) and fire door improved. The Grand Jury also recommended that an- other courtroom, being built now, be completed soon. The report urged Regional Council to review and ap- prove the emergency services plan in the very near future. The public areas and hallways of the court hiouse are dlean and well maintained says the report. Th e Grand Jury also, found that many recommen- dations put forth 1by a Sept- ember 23 report on the Dur- ham Region Centre have been acted on. The mos, recent report recommended i-lore privacy in the dormiti-xy areas be ensured the residents, the facilities in the cottages be upgraded and some areas of the centre be redecorated.
