My health conscious friends and colleagues tell me that they need an alternative to soda but plain water is too boring. They, like many people, are turning to sparkling water and flavored seltzer water. Carbonated waters are being promoted as the low-calorie or zero-calorie alternative to soda. In a 12-month period from August 2018 to August 2019, sales of sparkling water increased by 13% compared to the previous year. But is it really a healthy alternative? As a registered dietitian nutritionist, I get this question all the time. As with much of nutrition, the answer is not a clear yes or no. Researchers have studied sparkling water, though not extensively, for its effects on teeth, bones and digestion. Is it bad for you? Probably not. Is it good for you? Maybe. Is it better than soda? Definitely. Seltzer vs. soda Seltzer water is simply water infused with pressurized carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide creates the bubbles in fizzy water but also adds acidity to the beverages. Manufacturers also infuse many of these seltzers with the ever mysterious “natural flavors.” These are usually just chemicals extracted from plants or animals that add flavor without using sugar or adding many calories. Soda, specifically cola with its caffeine and phosphoric acid, eats away at teeth and bone. Soda, on the other hand, is carbonated water plus a sweetener such as cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Some sodas, in particular colas, also add phosphoric acid or citric acid for flavor and to act as a preservative as well as caffeine. The most well-studied risk posed by seltzer and soda are their potential effect on teeth and bones. In 2007, researchers soaked teeth in seltzer water for 30 minutes and found that the seltzer did start to erode the enamel. This isn’t great if you plan on soaking your teeth in seltzer or drink it all day. But researchers compared the erosive effects of seltzer to soda, coffee, energy drinks and diet cola and found seltzer to be the least harmful to teeth. While plain seltzer is better than more acidic sodas and coffee, in 2018, researchers looked at the potential risks of added artificial flavors in bottled water. They found that different additives produced varying levels of acidity, and like past studies, that acidity did cause some enamel erosion. The bottom line is that both plain and flavored sparkling water could have effects on your teeth after long exposures. The farther you go from plain water – whether that is with carbonation or flavoring – the worse for your teeth. Experts recommend that you drink bubbly water while eating food and avoid swishing it around your mouth to avoid the effects of acidity on your teeth. Another general concern people have about seltzer is that it might cause osteoporosis – a condition where bones get less dense and become fragile. In 2006, a team of researchers investigated this idea in a study that looked at 2,500 people and compared cola drinkers to people who drink other carbonated drinks without caffeine or phosphoric acid. They found that people who regularly drank colas were more likely to have some bone loss compared to those who did not. The scientists thought that the people consuming colas were also less likely to consume foods and drinks which helped build bone. People who drank seltzer or other carbonated beverages aside from cola didn’t have any of the bone density loss. Many people make carbonated water at home and add their own flavors. Unexpected benefits More recently, researchers have begun to investigate whether there are any potential health benefits of carbonated water, and there is some early but encouraging evidence. Two small randomized controlled studies with elderly patients showed that drinking seltzer water relieves constipation and stomach pain better than tap water. So is fizzy water healthy? Well, there isn’t much evidence that sparkling water is bad for you. If you are more likely to drink water when it is carbonated, there is not enough evidence to give it up. The acidity might harm your teeth if you drink a lot of it, but if the choice is between sugary, acidic soda and seltzer, choose the seltzer.

The new Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is located in Museum Park, part of the redeveloping downtown waterfront on Biscayne Bay. Its direct neighbours are the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science and a major freeway, connecting mainland Miami with Miami Beach. Simultaneously oriented towards the park, the water and the city, the new PAMM is an open and inviting structure from all sides alike. Miami is known for its iconic art deco district, decorated boxes with no great relationship and exchange between inside and outside. What makes Miami so extraordinary however, is its amazing climate, lush vegetation and cultural diversity. How can these assets be fully exploited and translated into architecture? Nature As in previous examples of our work, such as the Dominus Winery in Napa Valley, the building’s environmental circumstances become central to its architectural concept. Due to its proximity to the water, the museum is lifted off the ground for the art to be placed above storm surge level. We use the space underneath the building for open-air parking, exposed to light and fresh air thatcanalso handle storm-water runoff. Rising from the parking level, the stilts supporting the museum platform become columns supporting a shading canopy, which covers the entire site creating a veranda-like public space that welcomes visitors to the museum and the park. Facing the bay, a wide stair connects the platform to the waterfront promenade. In this exceptional location, we wanted the museum to offer generous views to the outside. Yet all the building’s expansive windows are recessed, with wooden planks under the concrete beams to minimize the sun’s impact on the glazing and to reduce the building’s energy consumption for cooling. Tropical plants selected for their resilience to the local conditions engulf the structural system. Roof and plants combined will create an overall microclimate reducing the extreme temperature gaps between outside and inside in the hot weather. The exterior surface of the museum’s massive concrete walls is chiseled in places and polished in others. When adjacent to the glazing, the concrete is smooth and reflective. When facing the outside, the concrete becomes rough, exposing its natural ingredients. Specificity The spaces at PAMM and their materiality are very specific. They can be considered an antithesis to the flexible, abstract white cubes that have been a dogma in most recently built art spaces. Concrete and wood are used in different combinations, reflecting the outside materials of the building. Typical drywalls are detailed in a way that they are legible as added to the main structure. In order to enhance the inside-out transition, we designed a customized concrete mullion system that holds the largest ever-used hurricane-proof glass in Florida.

At the young age of 7, Elizabeth Greene, known to most as Lizzy, got her start in local theater at the suggestion of her music teacher. “I was a very confident and energetic kid. I used to play soccer and do gymnastics, and I’d make up little plays for my family. Theater seemed like it fit perfectly.” Five years later, the Texas-native landed an agent, and in 2014, she found herself in a starring role on Nickelodeon’s Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn playing Dawn Harper. “It’s a great network to be involved with. It was such a good point in my life. It was able to grow with me. People have no idea how much work goes into it. I have such a massive respect for the business and every person that’s giving 100% all the time,” says Lizzy. Lizzy had been living in Los Angeles for five years filming the Nickelodeon show, before experiencing her first pilot season, during which she landed the role of Sophie on ABC’s A Million Little Things. The hit TV show follows a tight-knit circle of friends in Boston who are shocked by a member of the group’s unexpected suicide. The friends realize that they need to finally start living life as they cope with the tragic loss. The show’s title is a reference to the adage, “Friendship isn’t a big thing –it’s a million little things.” Lizzy plays Sophie, the daughter of Delilah and Jon Dixon, the man who commits suicide in the show’s pilot. Last month, A Million Little Things’ Season 2 finale aired. “She’s an incredibly strong character who’s just gone through losing her father. She’s been through so much. She acts as the glue for the family. She’s tying up her laces and moving forward. She’s not too far from myself actually,” she laughs. “Stubborn and just wanting the best for everybody.” The 16-year-old actress just got her legal 18, meaning she can dedicate as many hours as she wants to acting. “I’ve been working for nine years, nine hours a day. So it’s something I’m really thankful to be able to continue doing. I love horror movies, gritty stuff. I’d love to be a female James Bond, Lara Croft or play in something supernatural. I love to work, so I’m open to everything,” says Lizzy. Lizzy is also passionate about her philanthropic work with the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. She is currently filming a PSA-style clip for her Instagram that touches on encouraging youth to speak up and discover their stress methods. “It’s a phenomenal group to be with. I’m connected to them because they’re good with speaking to youth and breaking the stigma. They have absolutely amazing reach. Huge fan of charity work. I love giving back. I have fans that have grown up with me and I want them all to know that they are worth it. They should never have to experience going through this alone.” With much of the world implementing #StayHome because of the widespread COVID-19, Lizzy is taking this time to focus on a few things that she really loves doing. “I love to cook. Every Thanksgiving, I make these pumpkin chocolate chip muffins that are so delicious! I’m also really good at stir fry tofu and vegetables. But if there’s one thing I’m really looking forward to doing, it’s getting better at my art. I’m really passionately tied with art since I was little. Even acting reminds me how much I love it. For me, it’s a little escape. There are no rules or guidelines. You just get to do.” Side note, if you have an interest in art and have yet to discover Posca Pens, do yourself a favor and order some. Thanks, Lizzy! Words by Briana Dodson • Photo Credit: Lesley Bryce.

The Laver Cup will not be held in 2020, but will return to Boston in 2021, a move prompted by changes to the international tennis calendar which created a scheduling conflict with other major international tennis events. Laver Cup 2021 to be held at TD Garden in Boston from September 24-26 2021. Since the French Open’s March 17 rescheduling announcement, Laver Cup organizers have been closely monitoring the situation with their partners – Tennis Australia and the USTA – as well as the ATP.  Ultimately though, the international tennis schedule precluded the ability of the organizers to stage the event and therefore there was no reason to delay the inevitable decision. “We needed to make a decision now on our event,” Laver Cup Chairman and CEO of TEAM8 Tony Godsick said. “We know our passionate fans will be disappointed that they have to wait an extra year for the Laver Cup in Boston, but this is the responsible course of action, necessitated by the emerging calendar conflicts.” “We wanted to call it now to provide certainty for our fans as well as our players, sponsors, broadcasters, partners, staff, volunteers and of course the great city of Boston. We thank them all for their unwavering dedication, hard work, support and understanding and we can’t wait to bring happier times to Boston in 2021.” “Most importantly, all of our thoughts are with the massive number of people around the world impacted by COVID-19 and the incredible selfless people working on the front line keeping many of us safe.” “We created the Laver Cup to celebrate the greats of the game - past, present and future - and to grow the game of tennis,” Godsick continued. “The Laver Cup is only at the start of a long and incredible journey which will continue next year.” “It’s unfortunate that the Laver Cup has to be pushed back a year, but at this stage it’s the right thing to do for everyone concerned,” 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer explained. “Although disappointing, the good news is that TD Garden will still be able to host the event next year and I really look forward to finally playing in Boston for the first time at Laver Cup 2021.” Laver Cup CEO, Steve Zacks reiterated: “After careful consideration we all agreed that in order to provide the Laver Cup experience that everyone has come to love and expect, moving the event to September 2021 was the only option.” Fans who purchased tickets and/or hospitality packages for this year’s event can either keep their tickets (which will remain valid for the Laver Cup 2021 event) or receive a full refund.  All ticketholders will be contacted in the near future with details of this process. Further 2021 event updates including ticket on sale information will soon be provided on LaverCup.com. By Tennis Australia

Songwriter and producer Jeremy Zucker releases his highly anticipated debut album, love is not dying. The 13-track album—written, recorded and produced by Zucker in his Brooklyn studio—features his recently released singles, “not ur friend,” “always, i’ll care” and “julia,” as well as new focus track, “somebody loves u.”love is not dying is an intensely personal body of work, where even at times Zucker speaks through his lyrics to his loved ones and his fans. He says,“I have always historically written songs as a way of expressing things to the people around me because I haven’t always been able to express myself in words. I always stand by what gives me meaning in the music. I hope people will listen to the music and feel like they’re not alone.” In celebration of the release, Jeremy unveils a special album listening opportunity he created for fans through the love is not dying Listening Experience. This unique experience allows fans to listen to love is not dying and live chat with Jeremy, while they watch a long-form spectrogram, or 3-D audio wave, visual that accompanies each song on the album. Ahead of the release of love is not dying, Zucker’s 2018 Gold Certified breakout hit, “comethru,” recently surpassed over one billion global streams. This fall, Zucker will embark on the European and U.K. leg of his “love is not dying” Tour, as well as join Lauv in Australia and New Zealand on his ~how i’m feeling~ Tour. The 20-city North American leg of his “love is not dying” Tour that was set to take place this summer, including shows at New York’s Terminal 5 and Los Angeles’ The Novo, will now be postponed for a later period—stay tuned for new dates to be announced soon. See the full list of upcoming dates below. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.jeremyzuckermusic.com By Republic Records, Photos by Meredith Truax
