In addition, this Valentine Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Radio Show will feature renowned cardiologist Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., who will explain why giving sugary chocolates is a no-no this Valentine’s Day.

(FYI: Over the years, I’ve personally met each of our panelists, and I can assure you that they all have wonderful material to share!)
