Mojito

The muddling and the order of the ingredients helps ensure that all the flavors are well blended. Serve with a decorative stir stick to keep the different flavors well mixed together. Mint leaves and lime wedges may be used for a garnish. This is my favorite cool drink ~ Very refreshing on a hot summer day!

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
