Rita's Place needs equipment

R ita’s Place offers temporary
housing to women and children.
Sometime* this single fam ily resi­
dence is shared by a* many as six
adults, many with children.
The basement was remodelled last
year to provide additional bed­
rooms, so there's no indoor play
area at all. In this inner city neigh­
borhood just o ff N .E . Union Ave­
nue, there are few parks. The vacant
lot next door provide* garden space
to stretch lim ited food budgets.
After a long, wet winter crowded
together, the residents o f Rita's
Place thought a covered outdoor
play area for the children was an ab­
solute necessity.
W ith an annual budget o f just
$33,000, it seemed an unobtainable
necessity until just a few weeks ago.
Thanks to the energy, the determ i­
nation and the persuasive charm o f

New sweetener
on market
W hat may be the ultimate low-
; calorie sweetener is finally on the
5 market.
The product is called aspartame
• (marketed under the brand name
; Equal) and it is up to 200 times
! sweeter than sucrose, common table
• sugar, said Joan W einer, Oregon
; State University Extension foods
and nutrition specialist. Because
• aspartame is so much sweeter than
; table sugar, the average daily sweet*
; ener intake for a person using only
’ aspartame would probably not ex-
• ceed one gram or four calories.
: ‘ ‘ Aspartame is made by combin­
ing the two am ino acids phenyl-
• alanine and aspartic acid,” Weiner
¡explained. ‘ ‘Aspartame is digested
• as a protein and the two amino acids
• are metabolized like any such acide
: naturally occuring in foods."
As good as aspartame sounds, it
does have some limitations. For in­
stance, heating aspartame to boiling
temperature or above causes its
component am ino acids to separate,
which in turn causes the sweetener
to lose its sweet taste.
’ ■ A n additional drawback is that
aspartame has a limited shelf life in
food products containing water,
such as soft drinks. In acidic water
Solutions aspartame separates into
Its am ino acid components, losing
all its sweet flavor within 60 to 90
days, depending on the refrigerated
Storage temperature.
Aspartame has been approved for
use by diabetics desiring sweeteners
that do not affect their insulin
levels, Weiner said. O n the other
hand, persons with P K U , (phenyl­
ketonuria), a rare genetic disease,
should avoid aspartame sweetened
products.
“ This is because individuals suf­
fering from PK U have a low toler­
ance to phenylalanine, one o f aspar­
tam e’s constituent am ino acids,”
W einer said.
There is no scientific evidence
lhat persons using non-nutritive
sweeteners are necessarily trimmer
than those who use table sugar, but
dieters claim they enjoy low calorie
sweeteners, said Weiner Aspartame
has an advantage over saccharin in
lhat aspartame has no bitter after­
taste.
• Aspartame also does not contri­
bute to tooth decay, Weiner added.
