Monell’s “sweet” study on CNN
April 30, 2010
SteegeThomson client Monell Center landed a spot on CNN this week! The attention was on a study by Monell bridging nutrition-science and psychology to look more closely at kids’ cravings for sweet things – a major factor in the current childhood-obesity epidemic. Monell’s study found that children with symptoms of depression, or with a family history of alcoholism, preferred much higher concentrations of sugar than their peers – suggesting that some children might even crave candy in an attempt to “self-medicate” for psychological conditions.
SteegeThomson’s services to Monell included a refreshed logo, streamlined name, and the award-winning website featured in CNN’s report, which helped Monell put a fresh face on its work and bring groundbreaking studies like these to a wider audience.
