Protection 30 Second TV Spot

You do so much to protect your kids, but did you know that calories from sugary drinks can cause obesity and type 2 diabetes? Try some healthy alternatives like low-fat milk, tap water, or flavored seltzer water. After all, your kids are sweet enough already.

Hey, is this commercial racist?

[BostonPublicHealth]

@cureheis No, but our primary target audience for this commercial is Blacks and Latinos because in Boston these communities are disproportionately affected by chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes.

@BostonPublicHealth.... It would be more impressive if you were accurate. Too much sugar is Bad for a gazillion reasons, of course. But it is all those damn carbs we are addicted to, from potatoes to breadstuffs, that, when combined with genetic risks, will bring on Type 2 diabetes, the current epidemic. Type 1 diabetes is a different beast, though we now know that this so-called childhood-onset diabetes can also come on much later in life.

Great Commercial! I'm glad I could be a part of public awareness in Boston.
