The sugar smart diet - Anne Alexander

Sugar is the most controversial subject in the American diet debates today-alternately viewed as public health enemy No. 1 and an innocent indulgence. ANew York Timesbestseller,The Sugar Smart Dietreveals the suite of hidden sugars in food that have skyrocketed the nation's annual sugar intake to more than 130 pounds per person (sugar is not hiding where most people think), identifies which popular sugar increases the body's ability to store fat, and explains how excess sugar leads to diabetes, heart disease, and more.

The Sugar Smart Diet's 32-day plan uniquely addresses the emotional and physiological effects of sugar, empowering readers to take charge of sugar, rather than letting sugar take charge of them.
