[Diabetes-Talk] "Sugar Nation ..." Book Recommended!

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

I've not read it, but I'm type 1 and diet has nothing to do with me becoming type 1, especially since I was only 4 at the time and have never struggled with being over-weight. However, I have family members who are type 2 and all of them have diabetes from weight gain. In general though, sugar is not good for anyone, over-weight or otherwise, predisposed to diabetes or not. I'm not one to advise to never eat sugar again, but definitely in moderation, grin.

If you are a book reader and did not do so yet, here is the info about the book and some additional excerpts and ratings:

“ … Every five seconds, one more person develops diabetes. Worldwide, 285 million people are affected by type 2 diabetes. Many of them have no idea. Here is the personal story of one man who has unearthed the mysteries of this global epidemic and offers hard-won practical advice for how readers can take control of their lives and combat this deadly... “

“Sugar gave rise to the slave trade; now sugar has enslaved us.”

Have a great weekend.
