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.

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.

"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."

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.

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.

"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."

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.

"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)."

Friends and sources close to the couple speak exclusively with PEOPLE en Espanol detailing what really lead to Dellanos' frantic 911 call and the battery charges against Alonzo.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081001/NY36419 )

According to sources close to the couple, problems began shortly after Alonzo moved into his new wife's home, which she shared with her 75 year old mother, Myrka Aparicio, and 14 year old daughter Alexa. "Ulysses would walk the dog, cut the grass, and his mother-in-law would demand of him to pick up and drop off Alexa like a chauffeur as if he didn't have a job," says a close friend of Alonzo, adding that he also complained about how his wife treated him more like an assistant than her husband. According to that same source, Alonzo also talked of an aloof Dellanos who didn't allow him to hug and kiss her as much he would have liked to, and once told him he "needed to learn when it was appropriate to get close to her."

But what upset Alonzo the most, according to a friend, was a comment Dellanos made a week before the dispute. "The only yacht I would get on is Luis Miguel's," says the source was Dellanos' response when Alonzo proposed renting jet-skis to take her and his stepdaughter Alexa cruising down the Miami bay. Luis Miguel and Dellanos dated for a few years before the relationship ended bitterly.

The way the story unfolded changes depending on the sources. Dellanos' version was included in the official police report from that day, while friends of Alonzo say the alleged burst of aggression occurred when he approached his wife to discuss the problems they were having and she refused. "Ulysses is young, he is in love, more than she is. He is ready to take full responsibility, anything to be by her side. He told me: 'I don't want to hurt her, I would rather inflict the pain on myself,'" said a source.

PEOPLE en Espanol also spoke with Cassandra Alonzo, Ulysses Alonzo's sister, who says the police report her sister-in-law gave the day of the incident was an exaggeration and overused by the press erroneously. "It's repulsive what they have done to him, everything that has been said on television and the radio."

Dellanos wasn't exempt from the media bashing either. She's been accused of making up the whole story up for personal publicity. According to friends, Alonzo is currently renting a small apartment close to the Dellanos home and is attending marriage therapy sessions as well as other courses required by the court. "Marriage is difficult, I know that," said the twice divorced Dellanos to PEOPLE en Espanol back in May. "But you have to work hard and make yourself priority." (Cover Story, Pg. 96)

Body After Baby
Stars like Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Thalia, Aracely Arambula and Gabriela Spanic, among others, reveal how they were able to regain their figures after pregnancies.

-- Salma Hayek lost more than 30 pounds by not consuming carbohydrates after 5pm and with the help of a personal trainer.

-- Thalia admits she doesn't exercise much but lost 18 pounds on a protein, fruit and vegetable diet. She also recommends using pregnancy skin care product such as Mustela cream, and any other rich with Vitamin C to prevent stretch marks.

-- Gabriela Spanic lost more than 15 pounds by exercising three times a week including jogging, working her abdominals and leg lunges. She recognizes that genes play a big role, and that lucky for her, she has the good ones. (Pg. 101)
