Year of No Sugar
By Eve. O. Schaub
A memoir about a family that decides to eat no sugar for a year. This family were sugar lovers, and after mom sees a video and reads a book about the evils of sugar and how it pervades the processed food which most Americans eat, she decides to do the "year without sugar". Originally a blog, it was turned into this book.
It's the world of hidden sugar that she uncovers in the book, as well as the cravings and emotional attachment to various sugary desserts. They discover that to eat without sugar, you basically have to eat at home and cook your own food, so that you know what's in what you're eating.
Talks about the different kids of sugar and sweeteners, as well as the unnecessary sweeteners in many common "foods" such as ketchup, peanut butter, bacon, salad dressing and crackers.
An interesting read, though I skipped through some of it.
Rating: 3.5/5
Recommendation: If you're into food issues and healthy eating, sure.
