Dear Member,
Spring has blossomed at last and it's once again time to prepare our mind and bodies for the swimsuit days looming just around the corner...
While our eating habits and level of physical activity tend to be influenced seasonally, it seems our penchant for sweetness exists all year around. So this edition we explore the facts on sweeteners as well as get some helpful advice on how to beat those afternoon carvings.
We also answer your questions on bottled water and the environment and give you a sneak preview of a new product...
Plus be one of the first to check out the new-look Make Every Drop Matter website which has just undergone a major makeover. It's now packed with even more useful information as well as new interactive tools. Check it out now and tell us what you think.

If you've ever said, "I was born with a sweet tooth," you were probably right. According to taste researchers, sweetness is one of our first flavour experiences.
That sweet taste usually comes from one of two types of sweeteners: sugars, also called nutritive sweeteners, which provide kilojoules or energy, and non-nutritive sweeteners, which provide few or no kilojoules. They're also known as low-kilojoule sweeteners, sugar substitutes and artificial sweeteners.
Non-nutritive sweeteners have been under constant scrutiny as new low or zero-kilojoule products come out in the market.

You may have read or seen stories in the media recently about bottled water and the environment. This issue we address the top 3 rumours:
 |
|
Bottled water is just tap water |
| |
|
Most plastic water bottles end up in landfill |
| |
|
The bottled water industry is one of Australia's
largest water users |
|
|

Healthy snacking can help you manage your hunger, concentration and performance throughout the day. This is especially true in the afternoon, usually between 2 -4pm when our body clock hits a natural dip, causing us to feel lower in energy and often results in a carving for something sweet.
