Here's why sugar makes you so thirsty![]() USA Today
You just polished off a bowl of mint chocolate chip, and suddenly you're craving a drink. Sound familiar? Post-dessert thirst is a common reaction—but why is it that sweet treats make us feel so parched? To find out, we called Caroline Apovian, MD, a professor in the endocrinology, diabetes, and nutrition department at the Boston University School of Medicine. The reason has to do with a spike in your blood sugar levels, she says: “When you put sugar in your system, it first goes to your stomach, and then into your bloodstream." Once the sugar particles reach your blood, water moves out of your cells and into your blood, to restore balance in your blood. As your cells lose water, they send signals to the brain indicating that they need more H2O. The result? You feel the urge to sip on something. “This [chain of events] happens pretty quickly,” sat Dr. Apovian. “Since glucose is absorbed by the gut and into the bloodstream fairly fast, you might feel thirsty within 5 or 10 minutes.” (Any thirst you feel immediately after noshing is likely induced by the act of eating itself, she points out, and not a change in your blood sugar.) The best way to quench sugar-induced thirst is with a glass of good ol' H2O, says Dr. Apovian, even though you may be craving something sweeter, like juice, lemonade, or hot cocoa. Having a sugary beverage on top of dessert won't do you any good, she explains: "You’re not only confusing your energy balance system by putting more sugar into your body, but also getting a load of empty calories." The takeaway tip: Next time you treat yourself, you may want to chase your brownie or oatmeal cookies with a glass of water to help keep your body in balance. Growing Up in the Butcher Shop

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - September 18
Capitol cornerstone is laid 1793
On this day in 1793, George Washington lays the cornerstone to the United States Capitol building, the home of the legislative branch of American government. The building would take nearly a century to complete, as architects came and went, the British set fire to it and it was called into use during the Civil War. Today, the Capitol building, with its famous cast-iron dome and important collection of American art, is part of the Capitol Complex, which includes six Congressional office buildings and three Library of Congress buildings, all developed in the 19th and 20th centuries.
As a young nation, the United States had no permanent capital, and Congress met in eight different cities, including Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia, before 1791. In 1790, Congress passed the Residence Act, which gave President Washington the power to select a permanent home for the federal government. The following year, he chose what would become the District of Columbia from land provided by Maryland. Washington picked three commissioners to oversee the capital city’s development and they in turn chose French engineer Pierre Charles L’Enfant to come up with the design. However, L’Enfant clashed with the commissioners and was fired in 1792. A design competition was then held, with a Scotsman named William Thornton submitting the winning entry for the Capitol building. In September 1793, Washington laid the Capitol’s cornerstone and the lengthy construction process, which would involve a line of project managers and architects, got under way.
In 1800, Congress moved into the Capitol’s north wing. In 1807, the House of Representatives moved into the building’s south wing, which was finished in 1811. During the War of 1812, the British invaded Washington, D.C., and set fire to the Capitol on August 24, 1814. A rainstorm saved the building from total destruction. Congress met in nearby temporary quarters from 1815 to 1819. In the early 1850s, work began to expand the Capitol to accommodate the growing number of Congressmen. In 1861, construction was temporarily halted while the Capitol was used by Union troops as a hospital and barracks. Following the war, expansions and modern upgrades to the building continued into the next century.

Participants should dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes and bring binoculars. A limited number of binoculars and field guides will be available. Registration not required.
Pack 34 Recruitment Meeting·
Come see Cub Scout Pack 34 Pen Argyl, PA at Grace United Methodist Church on Sept 18 from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. for the recruitment pack meeting.
Music on Mondays at Dansbury Depot
Come and enjoy music and art at the depot in East Stroudsburg September 18. Vendors and art begin at 5:00 PM; music at 6:00. Note the time change.A free will offering will be taken on behalf of the musicians. Event is held rain or shine as we move inside the depot if the weather is bad.
For a relaxing evening, come and enjoy music and art at the depot. Bring a chair and your family and friends.
This week’s featured musician will be Chris London. Chris will entertain with a collection of songs that we all know and love. His guitar playing and his voice are a wonderful blend. The variety of his song choices will delight his audience. Chris will be singing solo but he also plays with the band, Friar’s Point. Chris is a well-known entertainer in the Poconos and the Lehigh Valley.
Pat Muntz will be the featured artist. Since she was a small child, she’s been drawing and painting as a hobby. She dreamed she'd be an artist when she grew up, but her artistic style didn’t agree with the pop and abstract art of the 1970’s, so she graduated from college with a degree in Accounting, unable to take a single art class. She spent seven years as an auditor for an international oil and gas company, then joined the FBI as a Special Agent. After twenty-two years with the FBI in Anchorage, Alaska, she decided to retire and pursue art full time.
She is self-taught, and paints in both oil and acrylics. She paints a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, animals, people (but not portraits), and old, historic buildings, often painting from photographs taken by herself, friends, or family on trips all over the US and Alaska. Pat is also an avid quilter, donating many quilts for charity auctions and fundraisers. As a result of conducting genealogy research on her family's ancestors, she has become interested in designing quilts of family crests and coat-of-arms, which she does on a commission basis.
Pat currently lives in Shawnee on Delaware, PA, in a house built circa 1850, and am enjoys the beautiful scenery and history that Pennsylvania has to offer, for her latest paintings and quilts.
