Reviews for Sugar Shock: The Hidden Sugar in Your Food and 100+ Smart Swaps to Cut Back

Decades ago, the official line in nutritional science was that added sugar was mostly harmless, apart from being empty calories and increasing the risk of dental caries. More recently, nutritional scientists have reversed that position, mostly because the food industry has forced extraordinary amounts of sugar into the food supply, a largely unforeseen consequence of public health messaging that warned against fat while giving sugar a green light. Sugar Shock is an important tool to help today's consumers understand the high amounts of added sugar in their food and how to cut back. Bruce Daggy, PhD., Nutrition Researcher & Educator
