| | | A provocative expos of the negative effects of sugars and simple carbs-and how to break the addiction. Most readers already know that succumbing to sweets too often can lead to obesity and diabetes. What many don't know, however, is that too many "quickie carbs" can bring on a host of other maladies-such as "brain fog," fatigue, mood swings, heart disease, and even cancer-from which millions may be suffering because of their sugar or carbohydrate habits. Once besieged by 44 seemingly unconnected symptoms, former "sugar addict" Connie Bennett, an experienced journalist, managed to kick sweets and simple carbs in 1998. She improved her health-and uncovered extensive medical research that substantiated her theory: people who eat too many low-caliber culprit carbs could be in sugar shock. Based on the insights of thousands of physicians, nutritionists, researchers, and "sugar sufferers" worldwide, "SUGAR SHOCK!"(tm) not only addresses how badly sugar affects the body, it demonstrates how everyone can kick the sugar habit.
Annotation:
Connie Bennett provides heavy doses of the evidence we need substantiating what we all know: that the ubiquitous, refined, processed white powder in almost everything we consume is bad for us, in both the short and the long term. She dramatically presents sugar's effect on our systems, telling how it stimulates but does not satisfy us, and she implicates it in a range of serious health issues, beyond diabetes. Bennett also tells us what we need to know about kicking the sugar habit, even if at first we cannot even contemplate a life without sugar. She shows how, having eliminated this granular culprit, people have experienced dramatic improvements in their health. SUGAR SHOCK! is an informative, supportive, and practical wake-up call to better living.

Heroin, crack, marijuana, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, salt, and sugar -- all of these are addictions. Sure, some are more dangerous than others, but the way society views each of them is sadly based more on the laws of economics and personal politics than on the true health dangers they impose....read the full review |
