Libertyville expert advises staying away from the added sugars in popular Halloween candy.
Passing out Halloween treats does not have to mean sugar overload for our children, according to Josh Rager, registered dietitian at Advocate Condell Wellness Services. Many healthier options such as popcorn, fruit, and trail mix can be bought or made for trick-or-treat bags. “You can get up to 4 grams of fiber out of a half cup of trail mix, depending on the brand,” Rager said. “And popcorn typically has 1.5 grams of fiber per cup, and basically has no sugar whatsoever.” Rager says while buying Halloween candy watch for added sugars, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavorings, food dyes, and portion sizes.

The family of a man who died while working at Advocate Condell Medical Center recently filed a lawsuit.
A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed by the father of Rajmond Zalewa, the 26 year-old man who died on Nov. 16 in a construction site accident at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. Zalewa was crushed by some 1,400 pounds of lead-lined drywall sheets and remained pinned beneath them for as long as five hours, said Nicholas C. Syregelas, the family’s attorney.

The three companies are each being hit with two …
