"With more than 100 million Americans affected by elevated blood sugar, education is so important in the fight against this growing national problem. And we need to take a holistic approach," said Ben Teicher, President of Healthy Directions. "We will continue to build our stable of experts to meet our goal of becoming the premier source for unbiased information about natural ways to manage blood sugar and other key health markers."

The site includes articles, infographics, an interactive quiz to test people's knowledge of diabetes and blood sugar, educational videos, and downloadable white papers. In parallel, Healthy Directions is also launching a 10-day sugar-free challenge with its employees and customers to help reduce sugar consumption as a first step to managing blood sugar. The campaign, "Don't Sugarcoat It," will launch across multiple vehicles and be featured prominently in social media.

Sugar consumption in America has reached dangerous levels and is having an adverse effect on our national health. Americans, on average, currently consume more than 150 pounds of sugar a year each, a level considered dangerous and partly responsible for growing national obesity and diabetes epidemics.
