It's a prime ingredient in countless substances that we eat and drink, from cereal to soup, from cola to coffee. Consumed at the rate of one hundred pounds for every American every year, it's as addictive as nicotine or heroin--and as poisonous, responsible for modern plagues ranging from depression to coronary thrombosis. It's sugar. This book is the classic, best-selling expose that unmasks our generation's greatest medical killer--yet, at the same time, shows how a revitalizing, sugar-free diet can not only change your life, but quite possibly save it.
