Suicide by Sugar

More than two decades ago, Nancy Appleton’s Lick the Sugar Habit exposed the health dangers of America’s high-sugar diet. Now, in Suicide by Sugar, Appleton, along with journalist G.N. Jacobs, presents a broader view of the problems caused by our favorite ingredient. Through a collection of articles, the authors offer startling facts linking a range of disorders—from dementia and hypoglycemia to obesity and cancer—to our growing addiction to sugar. Rounding out the book, they present a sound diet plan that leads the way to good health, along with a number of recipes for sweet, easy-to-prepare, delectable dishes—all made without sugar or fruit.
