Have you seen the Sensodyne toothpaste commercials where a ‘real dentist’ endorses the toothpaste? When I saw the commercial and the initials D.D.S. after person’s name, I paid closer attention. This marketing strategy worked on me. I have teeth sensitivity. I bought the Sensodyne.I was recently approached by a supplement company specializing in high calorie, high protein drinks. They were looking for a dietitian to be part of a commercial to promote their product. Here are a few of the supplement ingredients that I would be promoting, in no particular order:
soy protein isolate
corn syrup
www.almondboard.org
www.blueberrycouncil.org
www.watermelon.org
www.pistachios.org
www.walnuts.org
I could not find a kale, broccoli or spinach board, which bummed me out. If they get organized, I’d add them to this list.
Not everyone needs Sensodyne toothpaste, but I cannot think of a single family that that I have counseled in the last 14 years where I did not promote the benefits of fruits, vegetables, nuts and local farmers. If I had the opportunity to spread that message to a wider audience, I would.
