-Area 23, an IPG Health company, has launched a campaign, “Lil Sugar,” in collaboration with the New York-based, global non-profit organization, Hip Hop Public Health (HHPH) to raise awareness about the hidden sugars in many of the foods we eat.

The campaign focuses on “Lil Sugar,” a cunning sugar cube and master of disguise whose primary goal is to make sure no one recognizes it’s hiding in food and beverages. Lil Sugar is introduced in an original song and animated video voiced by Darryl “DMC” McDaniels of Run DMC. A dedicated website and app are also part of the campaign.
