The Sugar Fix by Dr. Richard J. Johnson MD is a good addition to the body of knowledge of how processed food is the root cause of most of our chronic diseases. It is already widely known that the average American consumes over 35 pounds of sugar a year. What is eye opening about this book is how the mega-doses of fructose we consume, especially in its most dangerous form, High Fructose Corn Syrup, are directly driving the explosion in diseases like Type II diabetes. With the information provided by Dr. Johnson, a great first step is to clean out your pantry. I was shocked to find that my favorite BBQ sauce listed HFCS as it's number one ingredient! Generally, nothing that contains this garbage is any good for you and by simply eliminating it from your diet, you can lose weight and avoid some serious health consequences.
