COMMENTARY

Remembering the Message of Christmas

By Jesse Jackson, National Political Writer Jesus was born at a time of great misery and turmoil, with his country under Roman occupation. Prophets predicted that a new Messiah was coming -- a King of Kings -- one who would rout the occupiers and free the people.

Many expected a mighty warrior -- like the superheroes of today’s movies -who would mobilize an army to defeat Rome’s occupying legions. Fearing the prophecy, the Roman King Herod ordered the “massacre of the innocents,” the slaughter of all boys two and under in Bethlehem and the nearby region.

On Wednesday, Christmas will be celebrated by millions of people across this country and across the world. Joy surrounds the holiday, with music in the air, lights on homes and lampposts, families gathering, presents exchanged and blessings shared. For some, Christmas is a difficult time -- for the poor, for separated families, for the lonely, for the imprisoned and the sick. Each year at this time, I use this column to recall the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas is literally the mass for Christ, marking the birth of Jesus. He was born under occupation. Joseph and Mary were ordered to go far from home to register with authorities. The innkeeper told Joseph there was no room at the inn. Jesus was born on a cold night in a stable, lying in a manger, an “at-risk baby.” His earthly father was a carpenter.

Santa Claus wasn’t around. He is an invention of 19th-century Europe.

POLITICAL

Jesus confounded both Herod’s fears and the peoples’ hopes. He was a man of peace, not of war. He gathered disciples, not soldiers. He began his ministry by quoting Isaiah 62:1: “the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.” We will be judged, he taught us, by how we treat “the least of these,” by how we treat the stranger on the Jericho Road. He called us on to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to care for the sick, to offer aid to the refugee.

It’s an extraordinary story. Jesus was a liberator, but by his words and his example, not his sword. He converted rather than conquered. He accumulated no worldly wealth. He threw the moneylenders from the temple. During his ministry, he owned no home, no land, and had no regular paycheck. His time with us was too brief, and he was crucified for his ministry.

And yet, he succeeded beyond all expectation to transform the world. The

These days, the mass for Christ too often is viewed as a holiday and a payday for Santa, rather than a holy day, more secular than sacred. It is a time of sales, shopping and Santa, when its focus should be on the poorest amongst us.

It is a time to stop a moment and take stock of where we are in light of the mission to bring “good news to the poor.”

There is good news: unemployment is down, poverty is down, incomes have slowly begun to rise. We continue to lock up more people than any nation in the world, but at both the state and federal level, small steps are being taken to reduce the number of nonviolent offenders who are incarcerated.

But surely, we have a long way to go.

We are ignoring a climate crisis that threatens all of God’s creation. The U.S. continues to waste lives and literally trillions in wars without end and without apparent purpose. Inequality is at record extremes, and the tax cut Congress passed is making it worse.

Millions still struggle in this rich country to secure adequate food to eat, yet the administration is cutting support for food stamps that allow the working poor to feed their families. On our borders, the administration descended to tearing babies away from their mothers and keeping so many locked up that we have no facilities to house them. Health care, a basic human right, remains un-

affordable for too many. Homelessness is rising, as adequate housing is priced out of the reach of more and more in our major cities.

Jesus was not a partisan, but his birth was immensely political -- both in the expectations of the people and the fears of the occupiers. Instead of turning us on one another, he called us to our highest selves. We should not let the deeper meaning of Christmas be lost in the wrappings. In Chicago on Christmas Day, I will go with my family -- as we do every year -- to visit the prisoners at the Cook County Jail, one of the largest jails in this country. That reflects the real meaning of the Christmas story.

In this secular age, let us remember the message of Christmas. Jesus demonstrated the astonishing power of faith, hope and charity, the importance of love. He showed that people of conscience can make a difference, even against the most powerful oppressor. He demonstrated the strength of summoning our better angels, rather than rousing our fears or feeding our divisions.

This Christmas, this surely is a message to remember.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

What Sets Trump Apart From Nixon and Clinton?

CNN.com

Presidents Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Richard Nixon

A

s the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump on Wednesday, he addressed a rally in Michigan and said, “By the way, it doesn’t really feel like we’re being impeached.” In that moment, the difference between Trump and former Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton became starkly clear.

very differently from Trump when faced with impeachment proceedings that clouded their presidencies. During their respective impeachment inquiries, both Nixon and Clinton ultimately cooperated with authorities. While Nixon resisted turning over information, he did yield to public pressure and let key witnesses testify. And he eventually turned over It’s clear that Nixon and Clinton behaved the infamous Watergate tapes when ordered

by the Supreme Court. Clinton, on the other hand, agreed to testify after establishing predetermined conditions.

More to the point, both Clinton and Nixon were contrite and accepted responsibility for their behavior. Nixon, for one, resigned and said, “I regret deeply any injuries that may have been done in the course of the events that led to this decision. I would say only that if some of my judgments were wrong, and some were wrong, they were made in what I believed at the time to be the best interest of the nation.”

After Clinton was acquitted, he issued a public apology and went back to work, putting his grudges behind him.

Thus, the case was successfully closed, the controversy resolved. More importantly, the country’s checks and balances held, and the oversight responsibility of Congress was honored.

Consider how different this impeachment process has been. Trump has been belligerent and defiant throughout. He has not turned over a single document to Congress and the White House has blocked key witnesses from testifying. His supporters have argued that the

www.stylemagazine.com

evidence supporting Trump’s impeachment is thin, never acknowledging it might well be bolstered if the President cooperated.

Given his steadfast support among Senate Republicans, the President is all but guaranteed an acquittal. We can only brace ourselves once that happens. Rudy Giuliani told CNN on Tuesday that Trump has beensupportive of his continued search for dirt on Democrats in Ukraine. To top it off, Trump’s comments characterizing impeachment as a “hoax” in thescorching letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, along with his defiant performance at the rally in Michigan make clear he is anything but contrite.

No, this is a President who is likely to lash out, seek revenge, and continue abusing the powers of his office. And if he is acquitted — and if his behavior thus far is any indication — Trump is bound to feel vindicated and strengthened by the support of his followers.

Trump may emerge from the impeachment trial embittered and emboldened. If so, we are probably in for a heap of trouble, regardless of who wins the 2020 elections.

But according to the Harris County Attorney’s office, the city’s runoff race won’t be on the March 2020 ballot, because state election code prohibits any other election from being held on the same date as a primary election. After the March primary election, the next scheduled election date is Saturday, May 2. Most Houston runoff elections were held Dec. 14, but residents in City Council District B are still waiting.

verything is bigger in Texas, including the pay gap between Hispanic men and women. Texas has one of the widest pay gapsin the country for a population group that is only growing, according to Politifact.

Based on a 2019 report by the Census Bureau, calculated by the National Women’s Law Center, Texas ranks at 49th and shows Latinas in Texas are making 44.7 cents for every dollar made by a white, non-Hispanic man. Texas is one of just five states where equal pay protections don’t apply to smaller businesses or workers in the private sector, and remedying this issue has not been a priority in recent legislative sessions.

In 2017, one of the only bills addressing pay gap and discrimination of payment compensation, introduced by Rep. Senfronia Thompson (D-Booth) was left pending in committee.

US Heads to Court to Build Trump Border Wall in Texas

hree years into Donald Trump’s presidency, the U.S. government is ramping up its efforts to seize private land in Texas to build a border wall. Trump’s signature campaign promise has consistently faced political, legal, and environmental obstacles in Texas, which has the largest section of the U.S.-Mexico border, most of it without fencing. And much of the land along the Rio Grande, the river that forms the border in Texas, is privately held and environmentally sensitive.

Almost no land has been taken so far.

But Department of Justice lawyers have filed three lawsuits this month seeking to take property from landowners. On Tuesday, lawyers moved to seize land in one case immediately before a scheduled court hearing in February.

resident Donald Trump signed a bipartisan bill that will permanently provide more than $250 million a year to the nation’s historically black colleges and universities, along with dozens of other institutions that serve large shares of minority students.

In signing the bill, Trump said historically black schools have “never had better champions in the White House.”

“When I took office, I promised to fight for HBCUs, and my administration continues to deliver,” Trump said. “A few months ago, funding for HBCUs was in jeopardy. But the White House and Congress came together and reached a historic agreement.” Michael Lomax, president and CEO of the United Negro College Fund, thanked Trump and the thousands of advocates who lobbied Congress to support the bill.

Texas Latinas Make History: Enter Congress, Vote for Impeachment

wo Texas Latinas started the year by making history when they entered Congress, and they ended it by casting historic votes to impeach the president. Reps. Veronica Escobar and Sylvia Garcia, both Democrats, said that polls showing Americans split on whether the president should be removed from office did not change anything, that they stood by their votes both in the House and as members of the Judiciary Committee.

Garcia said she was still trying to mentally digest that “a president of the United States behaved the way Donald Trump did” and that no Republican joined Democrats to ratify the impeachment articles.

The vote was her duty and responsibility to preserve democracy, she said. According to NBC, the Texas Congresswomen were disappointed that they were not able to address other important issues even though impeachment was important.

Atatiana Jefferson, a 28-year-old premed graduate student, was playing video games at home with the boy when Aaron Dean, 35, shot her through a window while responding to a call about the front door to the home, which belonged to Jefferson’s mother, having been left ajar. Dean quickly resigned from the Fort Worth Police Department and was arrested within days of Jefferson’s October death, but asCBS News explains, “all police shootings go before a grand jury, which issues charges.” “Atatiana’s family is relived but remain cautious that a conviction and appropriate sentence is still a long way away,” S.

Most Stylish Houstonians of 2019

By Jo-Carolyn Goode, Managing Editor

H

oustonians are known throughout the world for their generosity and how they help their fellow man in a disaster. Rarely seen are the philanthropic efforts of Houstonians who just see a need and provide a solution. Those that excel professionally while still giving back in extraordinary ways are who we call most stylish.

Houston Style Magazine put out a call to find these special people. Nominations flooded our inboxes for the Most Stylish Houstonians of the Year. Houston Style Magazine wanted to feature those locals who make their world better through involvement in the community, outstanding achievement in their chosen field, and going above and beyond. With so many nominations, it was hard for our staff to narrow the field. The below mentioned individuals are just a few of the many Houstonians who daily give to the community to make it better today, tomorrow and in the future.

Patricia Ann Bourgeois Patricia Ann Bourgeois has loved on Houstonians for the past 30 years in various ways, especially on the youth.

Recently, she just completed a six-year term as an Aldine ISD trustee. During that time the former Board Secretary got to know the plight of students more personally by learning of their needs first hand. Because of that, she established the non-profit organization Groom-AKid in 2001. The Foundation hosts numerous programs for the benefits of students like the Reading Literacy Initiative where the goal was to better the reading level of students starting with third graders. One of the Foundation’s annual events is outfitting high school seniors for their prom. In partnership with Al’s Formal Wear-Deerbrook seniors are able to receive tuxedos rentals for free.

Another big project that Bourgeois took on was helping families devastated by hurricane Dorian. With an event called Bahamas Sunday, Bourgeois through the Foundation collected grooming supplies, blankets, and clothes from Houston area churches and donated them to families. Bourgeois was also the Executive Director of the Dasha D. Blaylock Foundation and Southern Region Director of the National Black Council of School Board Members, a council of the National School Boards Association.

Her granddaughter, Heaven Blaylock, describes her as an “amazing hearted, selfless, and generous person.”

He is fueling his dream through two different entities that he founded, Texas Athletics Construction (TAC), a sports construction company, and Coach Cam Cares (CCC), a nonprofit organization. A large percentage of the profits from TAC go towards the initiatives provided by CCC and other charities. Under the umbrella of CCC, the organization hosts a turkey drive annually where they have feed over 3,000 families to date. Another program is Christmas Wishes that grants the needs of underserved families. This year the organization partnered with Peck Elementary to provide Christmas Wishes for three different families; nine students received items from their list and a surprise bicycle. CCC has also has given over $3,000 in scholarships to Houston students who are the first in their family to go to college. In 2019, Campbell launched a new program through his nonprofit to provide gently worn and reconditioned dresses for students to go to prom. Campbell cares for Houstonian and his actions are evident of that love.

Shar-day Campbell If her name sounds familiar, there is a reason for that. Shar-day Campbell is a vital part of The Honey Brown Hope Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit founded by her mother, Tammie Lang Campbell.

With her mother, Campbell has helped to transforms communities through the advancement of civil rights advocacy, diversity appreciation, and environmental stewardship. Several elected officials, national communications organizations,

Campbell is an award-winning communicator and certified social media expert whose gift for storytelling led her to a career in communications, television and public affairs.

Tiffannie Jones Tiffannie Jones started out just wanting to send her cousins and few co-workers’ children to college on a good foot.

She created a care package full of snacks, school supplies, and other necessities.

That good deed sparked the founding of The Just College Students Project in 2014 that went from helping five students to 3,000 to date. JCS has a mission of providing the needs for students as they transition from high school to college making a difference, one college student at a time. Jones hosts annual events such as A Different World Scholarship Breakfast featuring actress Charnele Brown and Back2School College Drive.

Every year at least ten college students are given scholarships from the profits of the scholarship breakfast. Representatives of JCS with Jones also go on an annual campus tour to colleges in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi dropping off free college care packages along the way.

JCS has student ambassadors at various campuses that help execute the mission of JCS. As the years go by the college care packages get larger and larger due to the generous donations from sponsors. The single mother of two also gets her children in setting college students up for their future by having them pass out care packages on campuses. She has received numerous awards for her work including the Whataburger Hometown Hero. Jones, who never attended college herself, feels like providing for students is her responsibility.

Texans Become Back-To-Back AFC South Champs With A 23-20 Win Over The Tampa Bay Bucs

By Brian Barefield, Sports Editor

into the playoffs hoping not to have a repeat performance of last year’s Wild Card Weekend defeat to the Indianapolis Colts when they were eliminated from the 2018 playoffs.

“This is not the ultimate goal,” said Watson on winning the AFC South.

“This is one goal to get us to where we want to go. For the ultimate goal, we got our shot. We have our opportunities, so we definitely want to celebrate this and build on this one and then finish up next week and then get ready for the big show.”

Houston’s defense came out the gate looking like they were prepared for the “Big Show” as cornerback Bradley Roby picked off Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston (335 yards passing, 1 touchdown, 4 interceptions) and ran the interception back 27-yards to put the Texans on the board early. That turnover was just the first of many as the Texans forced a season high five turnovers (4 interceptions, 1 fumble) which was the most they have had since Week 4 of the 2017 season when they had the same number of turnovers against the Tennessee Titans.

ouston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson approached the podium at his post-game press conference with a smile on his face that displayed joy and pain.

On one hand, he had just led Houston

(10-5) to a 23-20 victory over the Tampa Bay Bucs (7-8) to capture the 2019 AFC South title for the second straight year in a row. It was the Texans’ fourth title in the last five years. On the other hand, the offense struggled in the win and that causes some concern for a team headed

“We started out fast,” said Texans safety Justin Reid who also benefitted from a Winston miscue. “We had a great scheme.

get, and it came through for us.”

The Texans offense was unable to take advantage of the outstanding performance the defense was displaying against Tampa Bay. Watson was held to 187 yards passing and no touchdowns, while the run game was rendered null and void as running back Carlos Hyde finished second behind Watson (37 yards) with 27 rushing yards on 17 carries.

“It’s a team game,” Hyde told reporters after the game. “It wasn’t pretty for us on the offensive side of the ball, but that’s why we have our defense and special teams though. Those units came through for us today.”

Having already clinched a playoff berth and the division title, the Texans still may be playing a meaningful game on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans at NRG. The number three seed in the AFC is still up for grabs with the Kansas City Chiefs currently in that spot. If the Chiefs lose to the Los Angeles Chargers in the earlier game, it will be interesting to see if Coach O’Brien plays his starters the entire game. Houston owns the tie-breaker over the Chiefs when they defeated them in week six at Arrowhead Stadium by a score of 31-24.

“I think that any time we take the field, based on what we’re all about, our program and what we’re trying to do here and what we’ve tried to build here, or six years is we’re about trying to win,” O’Brien said.

Let Trends Guide Your 2020 Travel

By Family Features

W

hile there’s plenty to be said for taking the proverbial road less traveled, fellow tourists can provide a wealth of knowledge to help shape a vacation filled with lifelong memories.

Whether you expect your travel plans for 2020 to take you near or far, having a pulse on how and where others enjoy spending their travel time may help narrow down your options. Start planning your next getaway armed with the findings of a trend report compiled by vacation rental app and website Vrbo, especially when it comes to selecting a destination and your accommodations.

Unique Accommodations Traditional vacation home favorites like beach houses, cabins and condos still reign supreme, but adventurous American travelers are staying in some unusual options. In fact, 71% of millennial travelers said they would consider staying at a non-traditional vacation rental.

In addition to barns, castles and treehouses, properties on wheels and properties that float join the ranks of unusual accommodations travelers are booking. Travel demand for houseboats, yachts, RVs and travel trailers is up 30% year-over-year.

Surf’s Up Portugal’s reputation for affordability, primo surfing and sunshine-filled climate make the country a desirable place to explore. That may explain why seaside locales in Portugal took three of the top five spots on the list of hottest international beach destinations for American travelers. Chania, Greece, took the top spot, followed by three Portuguese destinations: Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto and Lisbon. Catania, Italy, rounded out the top five.

For those seeking to stay stateside, four of Vrbo’s top five United States destinations this year are beaches, including: Gulf Shores, Alabama; Miramar and Rosemary Beach, Florida; Panama City Beach, Florida; and Maui, Hawaii.

Same-City Stays Rental demand data in Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Atlanta and a number of other urban destinations showed the single largest traveler origin market for each city was that same city. “‘Cele-cations,’ when people seek accommodations to host and spend time with groups of family and friends for milestone events like weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, may be fueling the trend of people booking vacation homes in the same cities where they live,” said Melanie Fish, Vrbo travel expert.

Also high on the trend list: short-stay, drivable destinations located within 300 miles of home.

Up-and-Coming Destinations Their names may not be familiar to the masses, but each of the top emerging domestic vacation destinations shares one thing in common: outdoor appeal.

Places that appeal to families and other groups of travelers looking to explore the great outdoors are seeing a major surge over the past three years.

If an outdoor getaway is your ideal trip, consider destinations like Terlingua, Texas, located just a short distance from Big Bend National Park; Bella Vista, Arkansas, situated in the Ozarks near majestic lakes; Westport, Washington, surrounded by a bay to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west; Cherry Log, Georgia, which sits in the heart of Chattahoochee National Forest; and Edisto Island, South Carolina, a charming beachside retreat 1 hour from Charleston.

“This is the third year in a row travelers’ desire to be outdoors has filled the up-and-coming destinations list,” Fish said. “Clearly, people want the comforts of a home away from home while soaking in scenery.”

The rush of the holiday season – shopping for gifts, decorating the house, hosting loved ones and other added obligations – can be challenging. Restore balance and holiday cheer by treating yourself and others who are home for the holidays to a no-fuss, relaxing dinner that feels celebratory.

Supported by a menu that can be prepared entirely using a skillet, you can easily add to the joyful holiday spirit while also lowering stress levels typically associated with this time of year.

“White Negroes: When Cornrows Were in Vogue… And Other Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation”

t’s all yours. You own it, got it, paid for it, you even have the receipt.

That thing: you fought hard for it and nobody can take it away. But – as in the new book “White Negroes” by Lauren Michele Jackson, folks can surely borrow it.

The meme on social media was almost perfect. Just one little tweak, and that is an action based on “the root of the word” appropriation or, says Jackson, “to make something appropriate for another context.” That borrowing of word, phrase, action, or ideal from one culture to use in another culture is as common today as it

heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add shallot and fennel; cook, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add capers and cook 1 minute. Transfer to bowl with pine nuts. Stir in remaining oil and orange zest. Let cool 5 minutes before adding basil and 1/8 teaspoon salt; reserve.

Season salmon with remaining salt and pepper. Heat skillet over medium heat until hot. Add salmon, flesh-side down, and cook 5 minutes until nicely browned. Flip salmon and continue cooking 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp and salmon is cooked through but still slightly translucent in center. Place one salmon fillet on each of four serving plates; top each with pine nut mixture.

Long-Cooked Green Beans with Tomatoes and Garlic 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup yellow onions, minced 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 1/2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed 3 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped salt, to taste freshly ground black pepper, to taste In nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil.

Add onions and cook until soft, stirring occasionally, 7-10 minutes. Add garlic and continue stirring 1 minute.

Add green beans and tomatoes; cover

and cook over low heat until green beans are soft, 25 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Cook, uncovered, until liquid is almost gone, 2-3 minutes.

Stovetop Apple Pie Yield: 1 10-inch pie Anolon Advanced Home 10-inch nonstick skillet 6 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup, plus 2 teaspoons, sugar, divided 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into eight wedges each 1 refrigerated pie crust 2 teaspoons cream In nonstick skillet over low heat, melt butter; remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon.

Arrange apple wedges evenly in skillet, overlapping as needed.

Heat oven to 350 F. In skillet over medium heat, cook sugar mixture until it is light amber in color and bubbly, 8-10 minutes.

Carefully place pie crust on top of apples; cut few slits in pastry to allow air to escape. Brush pastry with cream and remaining sugar. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Serve warm or at room temperature.

So “why does any of this matter?”

Says Jackson, “in a word: power.” That which is appropriated is often used to exploit, and individuals are offered “next to nothing in return.” This goes double, she indicates, when there’s a “compulsion to own and regulate all things black.”

Appropriation can take years or it can happen with the speed of the internet and the appropriators generally assume control, use up everything good, then “walk away like it never happened.”

controversial fashion, “without permission from anybody’s estate.” Somehow, though, these “gaffes… never make it into the press.”

This can be seen with Black music, as Jackson says, by looking at the careers of Christina Aguilera and Miley Cyrus, both of whom she indicates appropriated facets of Black culture and discarded them when they no longer made headlines. was centuries ago and because the world always seems to get smaller, “cultures will intersect and mingle and graft onto each other,” probably until the end of time.

In the world of art, appropriation famously happened when the artist Nkechi Amare Diallo changed her name from Rachel Dolizel. It happens in the kitchen, on the street, and in some of the very words we speak...

Reading “White Negroes” is a little like watching a bodybuilder hold up something that’s too weighty for him: for awhile, the effort of the lift is impressive, as the burden’s held aloft – but the longer it’s up there, the shakier it gets.

Indeed, author Lauren Michele Jackson has some thought-provoking, important things to say, but points made can seem weak and they aren’t always supported very well.

HEALTH

Don’t Let Diabetes Take the Sweetness From Your Holidays!

By BlackDoctor.org

I

f you have diabetes, the holiday season can be a time of great trepidation.

If I eat cake, what will happen to my blood sugar? Will I gain weight? Can I eat just one piece of sweet potato pie and stop? Totally exacerbated, you throw your hands up and decide, “I just won’t eat anything!”

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Having diabetes doesn’t mean you have to deprive yourself of taste and flavor.

There are plenty of sweet foods out there that don’t actually have sugar in them. These are foods made with low or zero-calorie sweeteners—also known as nonnutritive sweeteners.

They provide practically no calories and won’t increase your blood sugar levels. There are lots of them on the market these days—in prepared foods, in food and drink mixes, and packaged to be added to food like sugar.

The FDA and other health-related organizations agree low or zero-calorie sweeteners are safe for people with diabetes.

“The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics [the Academy] position paper on sweeteners advises people can safely consume nonnutritive or nutritive sweeteners when they are part of a healthy eating plan,” says Toby Smithson, MS, RDN, LD, CDE, coauthor of Diabetes Meal Planning and Nutrition

for Dummies.

Furthermore, the American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association (ADA), and Academy agree that low-calorie sweeteners can help people with diabetes achieve blood sugar control.

Low-calorie or zero-calorie sweeteners also make it easy for you to enjoy sweet foods and drinks. Common low-calorie sweeteners and their brand names include: • Acesulfame K – Sunett® and Sweet One® • Aspartame – Nutrasweet®, Equal®, and Sugar Twin® • Luo Han Guo extract – Nectresse® Monk Fruit in the Raw® PureLo®

• Neotame – Newtame® • Stevia – Truvia® PureVia® Enliten® • Saccharin – Sweet and Low®, Sweet Twin®, Sweet’N Low®, and Necta Sweet® • Sucralose – Splenda® • Allulose – DOLCIA PRIMA® Personal preference, taste, metabolic goals, and functionality are key factors in determining which sweetener is best for the person with diabetes.

When it comes to functionality, Smithson, a Diabetes Lifestyle Expert, says not all sweeteners are the same. “Aspartame cannot be used for baking because it is not heat-stable, but saccharin, acesulfame K, sucralose, and stevia can

be used in baking. Also worthy of note is that your baked products may have a different volume because low-calorie sweeteners don’t have the same bulk as sugar.” Allulose is the exception. “Unlike other low-calorie sweeteners, allulose provides the bulk, taste, and texture of sugar,” says Smithson.

Although low-calorie or zero-calorie sweeteners have the benefit of not affecting your blood sugar, you don’t have to use them in great quantities—or at all.

Small amounts of sweets can be included in a healthy diet—even if you have diabetes. Keep the amount of sweets and desserts within your carbohydrate allowance by substituting sweets and desserts for starch, fruit, or milk in your diet.

Don’t let diabetes take the sweetness out of your holidays. Work with your diabetes educator to determine which sweetener is best for you. Learn more about low-calorie and zero-calorie sweeteners at the Calorie Control Council.
