MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- October gives everyone a reason to eat pumpkin but is it a good idea to incorporate it into your diet year-round?

National Pumpkin Month is being celebrated, appropriately, in October. From pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin soup, the big orange festive gourd is finding its way into diets every day this month.

Becky Kerkenbush, a registered dietitian at the Watertown Regional Medical Center and past President of the Wisconsin Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics joined us on Monday, Oct. 24 to discuss the benefits of adding pumpkin to a well-balanced diet.
