This book is clearly written by a journalist who wants to convert readers from eating sugar. I already know I want to quit. I scanned 275 pages of old (2006) stats to finally get to part 6 that gives helps for quitting. It was a fairly short part with yet another chapter on why not to eat sugar substitutes. She covered that earlier too. This wasn't helpful except for a handful of pages. Don't buy it, get it from the library, and if you already know you're phasing out sugar, save your time and skip to part 6. If you're interested in reading a more scholarly work on sugar's history, read Sugar Blues, which is excellent and terrifying. ( )

Awesome book packed with help for those suffering from a sugar addiction. This book has the scientific info I had lacked in the past and is helping me recover!
