The modern western diet contains huge amounts of sugar. Ironically, in some third world countries where  where the food eaten nowadays has strong western influences like the Philippines, people eat even more sugar than we do, and type 2 diabetes is rife in the Philippines.This book goes into detail about the damage such huge amounts of sugar are doing to our bodies whether or not we are diabetics.Sampson Sharpe gives us sensible and practical ways of breaking our addiction to excessive amounts of sugar.The later part of the book gives low sugar recipes and I will be referring back to them frequently.The book is not a chemical handbook and does not pretend to be. As a biologist there are one or two completely trivial points about some types of food that I would question. However, as I said these are trivial disagreements where I could well be wrong, and the main thrust of this book is unmistakeably correct.
