Diabetes News

I was just scouting around on MSNBC.com, one of my favorite websites for breaking news stories, and I noticed a whole section about Conservative candidate Mike Huckabee.

Why do I care about the governor or Arkansas? Well, you see, ever since his own diabetes diagnosis -- and losing quite a bit weight -- Huckabee has been quite active in seeking to improve the health of residents of his state and he's spearheaded a number of programs to do just that.

Anyhow, I just discovered some interesting stories about him, including Newsweek's article, "Campaigning for a Healthier America," an Associated Press story, "40 Percent of Children Overweight in Arkansas" and another Newsweek story, "A Would-Be Knight for the Religious Right,"

By the way, Gov. Mike Huckabee was one of a number of well-known experts and personalities, who was nice enough to offer an endorsement for SUGAR SHOCK!

Gov. Huckabee kindly wrote:

“When I finally decided to turn my life around through exercise and better nutrition, one of the first things I did was give up eating refined, processed sugar. SUGAR SHOCK! by Connie Bennett is the definitive look at how Americans are simply eating too much sugar and how this is having a profound negative impact on millions of people. This well-researched book should be considered must reading for anyone interested in the complex health discussion underway in America today!”
