Sugar Shock Blog Goals & Disclosures

I invite you to get the inside scoop about this Sugar Shock Blog. To begin, this blog had its origins on June 7, 2005, Now, with eight years of blogging under my belt, my goals have evolved, but my missions remain the same. Learn about them here.

Beginning December 1, 2009, the FTC requires bloggers to disclose whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations.

For instance, per the FTC rules, if I interview someone and they grab the bill for lunch, I would need to disclose this. Ditto if I use an Amazon link that gets me 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents. If someone gives me a comfy t-shirt with a logo and I wear it in a photo, same deal.
