		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>As part of its commitment to serving the Hispanic community, Colgate-Palmolive is promoting diabetes awareness and the importance of proper oral care during November's American Diabetes Month. With approximately 2.5 million Hispanic Americans suffering from diabetes or insulin resistance syndrome (pre-diabetes), proper oral care and oral health education have become increasingly important among this at-risk community.<br />
<br />
To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/colgate/39889/<br />
<br />
The U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Oral Health describes the connection between good oral health and good overall health. Seeking proper dental care and maintaining good oral health are specifically vital to living well with diabetes. Emerging research supports a two-way relationship between diabetes and periodontitis (serious gum disease). Not only are people with diabetes more susceptible to serious gum disease, but if left untreated, serious gum disease may affect their ability to control blood glucose levels and potentially increase their risk of other complications of diabetes.<br />
<br />
"As the global oral care leader in the Hispanic market, Colgate-Palmolive is dedicated providing oral health education to Hispanics managing diabetes and health professionals," said David Cardona, Marketing Director, U.S. Multicultural Marketing, Colgate-Palmolive. "Living with high blood sugar can take a toll on your entire body, including your teeth and gums. During American Diabetes Month, Colgate-Palmolive will continue to promote the association between oral health and diabetes, as well as the practical steps to help improve oral and possibly overall health."<br />
<br />
As part of their multi-year educational collaboration, Colgate-Palmolive will continue to partner with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to help educate medical professionals and diabetes patients about the association between oral health and diabetes. As part of this year's outreach, Colgate-Palmolive will be targeting Hispanic Americans via in-store activities, educational materials and participation in the American Diabetes Association's 3rd Annual "Feria de Salud Por Tu Familia" ("Health Fair For Your Family"). This national, outdoor festival provides health screenings, cooking demonstrations and diabetes education.<br />
<br />
Journalist and Colgate Total(R) spokesperson Myrka Dellanos, is supporting this educational initiative by publicly sharing her own experience living with diabetes and the importance of brushing daily with an anti-bacterial toothpaste, such as Colgate Total(R) toothpaste -- the brand most recommended by dentists.<br />
<br />
"Diabetics don't have to take a step back; they can live life to the fullest," said Myrka. "Understanding the connection between oral health and diabetes and other health conditions is an important part of managing the condition. Daily brushing and flossing, regular dental check-ups and good blood glucose control are the best defenses against the oral complications of diabetes."<br />
<br />
On behalf of Colgate Total(R), Myrka will be telling her story alongside Dr. R. Ivan Lugo, former President of the Hispanic Dental Association and a leading dental health advocate in the Hispanic community.<br />
<br />
"The Latino population has the lowest incidence of dental visits when compared to any other ethnicity. This fact reinforces the importance of regular dental check-ups," Dr. Lugo said. "It is vital for diabetics to maintain good oral hygiene, floss regularly and brush twice a day with a toothpaste that has antibacterial benefits, like Colgate Total(R)."<br />
<br />
About Colgate Total(R) Toothpaste<br />
The unique formula of Colgate Total(R) toothpaste is clinically proven to actively fight germs for 12 hours. Colgate Total(R) toothpaste has an antibacterial formula and is the first and only toothpaste both approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and accepted by the American Dental Association to fight gingivitis. Using Colgate Total(R) toothpaste can promote better oral health and better oral health may help improve overall health. Colgate Total(R) is approved by the FDA to aid in the prevention of cavities, plaque and gingivitis. It has not been approved for the prevention or treatment of periodontitis or other diseases. Colgate Total is the number one toothpaste recommended most by dentists and hygienists. For more information about Colgate Total(R) toothpaste, visit www.ColgateTotal.com.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"HHS today announced an exciting collaboration with the American Diabetes Association ( ADA ) and the Patient Education Research Center at the Stanford University School of Medicine to increase the number of diabetes self-management training programs ( DSMT ) in the United States.<br />
<br />
This collaboration has a particular focus on Hispanic people with Medicare and supports HHS’ Interagency Hispanic Elder Initiative. That initiative, launched in 2007 by the department’s Administration on Aging ( AoA ), Centers for Medicare &#038; Medicaid Services ( CMS ), Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research ( AHRQ ), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) and Health Resources and Services Administration ( HRSA ), seeks to improve the health of Hispanic senior populations. The initiative has identified diabetes as a primary issue of concern for Hispanic seniors.<br />
<br />
Approximately 18 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries have diabetes. Hispanic beneficiaries are particularly susceptible to the disease and are more than four times likely than non-Hispanics aged 65 and over to experience a hospital admission due to uncontrolled diabetes.  If not properly managed, diabetes can lead to serious and costly complications, such as amputation, blindness, stroke and even premature death.<br />
<br />
“Teaching seniors with diabetes how to manage their disease will allow them to live longer and more productive lives,” said CMS Acting Administrator Kerry Weems.  “Although Medicare covers diabetes self-management training ( DSMT ), there is a shortage of programs nationwide, especially for Spanish-speaking seniors. This new collaboration will increase the number of programs, including those focused on the needs of Hispanic seniors.” Currently, there are 3,200 American Diabetes Association- recognized diabetes self-management training program sites nationwide."</blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"The Advertising Council in partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Nutrition and Consumer Services recently launched new Spanish-language public service advertisements (PSAs) designed to motivate Hispanic families to lead a healthy lifestyle that includes good nutrition and adequate physical activity. The campaign prominently features characters from the beloved Disney's, Jungle Book.<br />
<br />
To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/adcouncil/35158/<br />
<br />
A recent survey conducted on behalf of the Ad Council's Coalition for Healthy Children shows that parents continue to be deficient when it comes to knowing how to foster healthy lifestyle habits in the home, with 39% of all mothers surveyed reporting that they are unclear about which foods are considered healthy for their families. Furthermore, Hispanic parents show greater disparities, with 49% of Hispanic parents reporting that they are unclear about which foods are healthy for their families. Research indicates that being overweight during childhood and adolescence is associated with obesity during adulthood, and can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and some types of cancer.<br />
<br />
"The combination of proper nutrition and daily physical activity are critical for a healthier lifestyle," said USDA's Deputy Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services' Kate Houston. "Overweight and obesity affects all of us -- particularly our children. It is time for all of us to work together to ensure a healthier future for our most precious resource, our children."<br />
<br />
"I am thrilled about this wonderful and informative campaign to educate Hispanic parents and children about nutrition. The PSAs are both motivating and entertaining and I'm confident that they will inspire families throughout the nation to make the necessary changes to lead a healthier lifestyle," said Peggy Conlon, President and CEO of The Advertising Council.<br />
<br />
The new Spanish-language PSAs encourage Americans to visit the campaign's website, www.MyPyramid.gov, where mothers and caregivers can obtain information and realistic tips for making and sustaining healthy choices for their children.<br />
<br />
The new PSAs will be distributed to media outlets nationwide this month to appear in advertising time and space donated by the media.<br />
<br />
U.S. Department of Agriculture<br />
<br />
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, and related issues based on sound public policy, the best available science, and efficient management.<br />
<br />
The department increases food security and reduces hunger in partnership with cooperating organizations by providing children and low-income people access to food, a healthful diet, and nutrition education in a manner that supports American agriculture and inspires public confidence.<br />
<br />
The Advertising Council<br />
<br />
The Ad Council (www.adcouncil.org) is a private, non-profit organization that marshals talent from the advertising and communications industries, the facilities of the media, and the resources of the business and non-profit communities to produce, distribute and promote public service campaigns on behalf of non-profit organizations and government agencies in issue areas such as improving the quality of life for children, preventive health, education, community well-being, environmental preservation and strengthening families."</blockquote>
