Nemere said high amounts of fructose can often lead to diabetes-like symptoms because the fructose affects plasma lipids which can end in insulin resistance. Daren Cornforth, also a nutrition and food science professor, said one bottle of Vitaminwater contains almost the same amount of sugar as a can of Coca-Cola. The difference is, Vitaminwater costs about $1.50 more because of the added vitamins. In reality, many of these same vitamins can be consumed by a fresh glass of orange juice or a glass of water and a multivitamin. Cornforth said this way, the body gets a slew of vitamins without the heaping tablespoons of sugar. "On a daily basis, nutritious foods are the best and most affordable source of vitamins, because foods contain other dietary essentials or beneficial substances, including protein, minerals and antioxidants," he said. A dietetics major and freshman Hillary Mousley said Vitaminwater is made with distilled water, which is not as good as top water because it lacks minerals. "People think they are drinking some- thing healthy because they picked.up something up with vitamin on it. Instead of drinking calorie-free water you are just consuming a lot of extra calories and sugar," she said. Mousley said the calories that make up Vitaminwater are empty and leave the consumer hungry. Instead of wasting these 125 calories, food with vitamins and nutrients could be used tofillthe stomach up, she said. Sometimes food labels, like Vitaminwater's, state that there is 300 percent of a particular vitamin in it, but the body does not need this much. Mousley said when this much of a vitamin or mineral is consumed, the body ends up throwing the excess away through urination. She said taking in more than 100 percent of the daily needed value is never going to help. Mousley said if a person does not care for fruits and vegetables there are other ways to get vitamins than from sugar water. "I would choose a well-rounded vitamin supplement, like a daily multi-vitamin," she said. -catherine.meidell@aggiemail.usu.edu Film: Promoting a worthy cause •mi seeycLel V "People don't have anything to push for and they are becoming too passive," he said- "It's an awesome opportunity to get behind something and it makes everything you do more worthwhile." Whittier said he hopes Aggies for Africa can disseminate information to the students who have the desire to support Invisible Children and promote a worthy cause. The best thing for students to do if they want to help is visit their Web site, www.invisiblechildren.com, he said. "I believe students can make a difference," he said, "and there is no telling what more and more motivated people can do." -natalie, c@aggiemail usu.edu •I ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD.. .COVERED.

[] continuedfrompage 4 "I definitely think it makes a difference to get the message out about what's happening over in Africa because we need to increase exposure," he said. "Nothing will change unless more people know about it." Parrish said he thinks it is great to be more aware and provide support and service in any way that students can, even if their acts seem small. "If everyone spent one day a year aiding under-privileged communities, we would treat the world differently," Parrish said. "Our eyes would be opened and strangers would seem as friends." Whittier said he thinks the act of taking up a cause and pushing for it strongly is getting lost in today's society. mi Rljjo Chapum Lana Powell y SSO N Main Si Sic 220 U>pn 40 W Ok.br V d k j BUd Bldg S Sic A Ljignn ll*tl (*•» State Farm statefarm.com® P088G10 11/08 State Farm fire and Casualty Company* State Farm General Insurance Company• Bloomington, IL Stale Farm Uoyds* Danes, TX |
