The Bitter Sweet: Recognizing and Resolving the Sugar Crisis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781544239279)

Remember when everything was low fat? After a study on the effect of sugar and fat on the body, fat was labeled a toxic substance by the health industry. It's no coincidence that the obesity epidemic began soon after.

Harry G. Preuss, MD, has devoted his career to studying nutrition and knows the true culprit behind high cholesterol: Sugar. His new health and nutrition guide explores the current "sugar crisis" and its connection to premature aging, obesity, and the development of type 2 diabetes. Sugar consumption can also increase your risk of heart disease, joint problems, and certain cancers.

Preuss gives you easy alternatives to the substantial amounts of sugar found in everyday foods. The Bitter Sweet helps you
