Over two decades ago, Appleton's Lick the Sugar Habit exposed the health dangers of America's high-sugar diet. Now, with journalist G.N. Jacobs, she presents a broader view of the problems caused by our favorite ingredient. They offer startling facts linking a range of disorders to sugar addiction, including dementia, hypoglycemia, obesity and cancer. Rounding out the book is a sound diet plan that leads the way to good health, with a number of recipes for sweet, easy-to-prepare, delectable dishes made without sugar or fruit. 176 pp.
