Book Review-The Case Against Sugar

Today Im reviewing a recent book I just finished called The Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes



As most of you know Im always saying eliminate sugar. As a daughter and sister to Type 1 Diabetes, literally my entire life I knew the importance of staying clear of sugar in my diet and the toll it takes on the body. 

Most everyone I’m seeing in my practice lately has some level of insulin resistance. 

Symptoms of Insulin Resistance:

  • Increased thirst.
  • Frequent urination (peeing).
  • Increased hunger.
  • Blurred vision.
  • Headaches.
  • Vaginal and skin infections.
  • Slow-healing cuts and sores.
  • Weight gain
  • Skin tags
  • Darkened skin in arm pits

Just a reminder here are some complications of insulin resistance

Complications of Insulin Resistance:

  • Severe high blood sugar.
  • Severe low blood sugar.
  • Heart attack.
  • Stroke.
  • Kidney disease.
  • Eye problems.
  • Cancer.

Alzheimer’s disease.

“Nearly 10% of children are thought to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.”

Let that sink in for a moment. We would never dream of giving kids alcohol or a cigarette, but sugar has nutritional value, so it’s OK, right? Not exactly.

Eating sugar is like having sharp razor blades tearing up your arteries. Well, that’s an image that has never left me. I would suggest removing most of the white and processed foods from your home. Most of the actual sugar too.

I found the history of sugar fascinating in this book, and there is much research and studies covered here that should be talked about on the news daily. Our lack of health is a clear and present danger, and we only seem to be getting sicker, so where is the outrage? Sugar is not your friend, and yet somehow we cannot celebrate or mourn or relax or take a breather without a hit. Learning more about the powerful forces behind this industry was eye opening.

There are also MANY GREAT BOOKS on the market which support - educate - and guide people to make healthy choices:

So, if it’s support for healthy eating - cook books or guide books - I can share a few that I believe are excellent...

BUT THIS BOOK... “The Case Against Sugar”.....probably the best book of its kind ... is The MOST researched. (its not a recipe book), Instead it is ....THE MOST historical book today that we have on the subject of sugar - scientifically proven - real evidence -that SUGAR is THE MAJOR NUMBER ONE DANGEROUS FOOD contributing to a wide range of diseases.

If there is a certain topic you want to know more about, I would be happy to make book recommendations.
