Unfortunately, 2,500 infants between the ages of 1 month and a year die annually from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), the leading cause of infant deaths in the United States. More than two-thirds of the deaths occur in the winter. “The underlying cause of SIDS deaths is still a mystery,” said pathologist Gregory J. Davis, MD, FCAP, a physician who specializes in treating patients through laboratory medicine. “The good news is that we have been able to iden- Natural Sugar: Looks Good, Tastes Great (NAPSA)—Sugar is the sweet spot in the renaissance of natural foods. Among the reasons that sugar is reclaiming its place of honor in the kitchen are that it’s safe, 100 percent natural, has only 15 calories a teaspoon and tastes best when all other sweeteners are considered. Here’s a salad recipe that’s both healthy and tastes great: CITRUS SALAD WITH MINT SUGAR (Serves 8) 6 2 2 1 1 ⁄2 navel oranges white grapefruits pink grapefruits pomegranate cup packed fresh mint leaves 1 ⁄3 cup sugar tify some factors that put babies at risk for SIDS, especially during the winter. “The baby’s sleep environment, for example, is an essential factor in preventing SIDS,” said Dr. Davis. “Physicians know that putting a child to sleep on his or her back in a safe crib with safe bedding decreases the chance of SIDS and increases the likelihood of a happy, healthy baby. Since educational programs about putting children to sleep on their backs started in 1994, SIDS deaths have decreased by nearly 40 percent.” For additional information on SIDS, visit the College of American Pathologists’ Web site at cap.org. Remove ends of citrus fruit with a sharp knife so fruit will sit flat on a cutting board. Using the knife, cut away the peel from the fruit, making sure to remove the white pith as well, until only the flesh remains. Holding fruit over a medium bowl, cut along either side of the membrane to release the citrus segments. Great entertaining starts with serving natural products. This Citrus Salad with Mint Sugar is a tasty and healthy example. Quarter the pomegranate and remove the seeds; add seeds to the citrus. Refrigerate. This step may be completed up to six hours before serving. Place the mint and sugar in a food processor. Pulse until the mint is finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Toss the mint sugar with the fruit, allow to sit 10 minutes, then serve. To learn more about the benefits of sugar, visit www.sugar.org.
