Borrowed this off a friend and it is very interesting. The argument is that we are getting fatter due to the amount of sucrose and fructose added to pretty much every processed food we eat. Note: glucose is not an issue nor is fructose in its natural state (ie fruit and vegetables) just the fructose added in. Our sugar consumption has risen horrifically over the past 50 years, obesity coincidence? We aren't overweight, nor do we struggle with our weight if we exercise in our house, but I object to all this being pumped into our foods. I'm going to try and de- sugar our lives just to stick it to the man. Borrowed it from the library after a 7 month wait for it after watching to documentary on tv. I need another read but can't face the cue again. Wife was really impressed but she knows much about food as our child is type 1 diabetic. She now has given up added sugar where possible cutting cakes biscuits etc and watching for added sugar in store brought products. She has found it really easy to ditch and we both feel better without it. She has lost a couple of kg without even trying but it's taken 3 months but as she's changed nothing else of her eating. I struggle a little every now and then as I could inhale chocolate bars but in general think this book is a step in the right direction. Well worth the cost if you can find it.
Life changing! Essential to have your own copy to refer to & stay off the crack ;)
