CBS News Sunday Morning Airs Segment about Sugar This Sunday, June 17, 2007

New York (PRWEB) June 16, 2007 -- Connie Bennett, author of Sugar Shock!, is one of several experts appearing this Sunday, June 17, 2007, on the national show, CBS News Sunday Morning, in an approximately 8-minute segment about sugar. It is the lead story, barring any breaking news.

"This is heartening that a major national TV show such as CBS News Sunday Morning is delving into this extremely important subject and telling people the truth about sugar," says Bennett, a former sugar addict, journalist and certified holistic health counselor.

"Americans need to learn that they're probably getting at least one-quarter to one-third of their calories from refined sugar and processed carbs," adds Bennett, whose book Sugar Shock! has been endorsed by a number of renowned health experts, including frequent "Oprah" guest Dr. Mehmet Oz. "And people should know that consuming so many nutrient-deprived foods and drinks could lead to a host of health-damaging problems, including depression, failing memory, fatigue, headaches, heart disease, cancer, hypoglycemia, type 2 diabetes and premature aging."

Bestselling author Nicholas Perricone, M.D. wrote the foreword for Sugar Shock!, and renowned cardiologist Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D. is the book's contributing author.

The CBS News Sunday Morning segment about sugar is reported by the talented, Emmy Award-winning journalist Susan Spencer and produced by the thorough Jason Sacca.
