What a Blast! Gave Tips for Fun, Healthy, Non-Edible Treats for Halloween on WTNH-TV in New Haven, Connecticut This Morning

Early this morning, at 7:25 a.m. exactly, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Chris Velardi of the WTNH-TV in New Haven, Connecticut on "Good Morning Connecticut Weekend."

Can you guess what Chris interviewed me about? Well, given that I’m a sugar expert and author of the upcoming book, SUGAR SHOCK!, I offered tips for really fun, non-edible treats that you can give trick-or-treaters for Halloween Tuesday night.

Chris is a smart, savvy anchor/reporter, who asked some insightful questions and made some astute observations. He even quizzed me about my history as a sugar addict, and I even laughingly admitted that I only reluctantly gave up sweets, but that doing so made all 44 of my ailments disappear.

More importantly, Chris helped me stress that playful party favors — kazoos, glow-in-the-dark fingers, stickers, etc. — will be a hit with at least half of the kids ringing your doorbells, as a Yale University study showed.

By the way, I just came back home from New Haven and checked the TV station’s website and happily learned that my segment was among top videos being played today. Just click here to watch the interview here.

You also can read an article by me here on WTNH-TV’s website, which, incidentally, was awarded best website by the CT Associated Press Broadcasters Association. (Impressive, eh?)

Thanks to all the nice people at WTNH-TV for making this experience so pleasant, especially Chris,  assignment editor Rachel Guerra, and producer Cara Rinkoff.
