Sugar Shock!

How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life--And How You Can Get Back on Track

2006 • 420 pages

Alright, let's get this out of the way first: this book reads like one of the world's worst infomercials. There is countless promotion of the author's website, help groups, etc. I can definitely see how this might annoy someone into stopping reading this book.

Having said that, there is a lot of interesting information in how sugar impacts our health. There are countless experts referenced. It certainly could be that the experts are biased. I have heard of some and respect them, but others are completely unknown to me.

If you can get past the salesy writing, it is certainly a worthwhile and interesting read, and may just change your dietary choices.
