A big hurrah for CBS News Sunday Morning! They are planning an exciting story — the lead one — about sugar for Sunday, June 17.
Talk about thorough. Yesterday, I spent much of the day with the CBS crew, including talented, Emmy Award-winning reporter Susan Spencer and producer Jason Sacca, covering a number of different angles on this compelling topic.
Susan did a one-on-one interview with me, tossing some fascinating questions my way. Then, the CBS crew filmed all kinds of foods — from culprit, sugar-packed carbs to quality carbs, all laid out on a table — with my discussing them. From there, we went to a nearby grocery store, where I showed Susan how to find all those hidden sugars packed in processed foods.
And then, thanks to renowned physician, Dr. Woodson Merrell, we ended at the Center for Health and Healing in New York City, where Susan interviewed six sugar addicts I’d gathered. (I had the amazing opportunity to watch them discuss their sugar addiction, which most of them had successfully conquered. More later on the spectacular sixsome — Moe, Deborah, Christi, Donna, Sheila and Bhaswati.)
Anyhow, yesterday — especially since I’m a journalist myself and have long admired CBS shows — it was quite impressive and really fun to watch the CBS pros in action.
I’ll update you more in a couple of days about this exciting segment planned for CBS News Sunday Morning on June 17. I need to go work out — got behind in the last couple of days. Then, I need to take some relaxing time for me after this whirlwind week, which entailed lots of prep work.
But before I go, make sure to mark your calendars for Sunday, June 17 at 9 am EST and set your TiVo if you’re not around. It’s CBS News Sunday Morning. Click here to find out where and when it airs in your market.
