It comes as no surprise that the sugar is found in processed foods like candy, baked goods, canned foods, and frozen meals in the form of high-fructose corn syrup, but it is also hidden in less obvious foods like peanut butter, egg products, and soups. Many fruits and vegetables contain high levels of it naturally. Dr. Johnson shows how to cut way back on the sweetener by making effective substitutions. The daily meal plans included here contain no more than 25 grams of fructose, one-quarter of the amount the average American now ingests. Rather than the low-carb approach of so many recent diets, Dr. Johnson recommends a much easier to enjoy and stick to formula: 50% carbs, 25% fat, and 25% protein. The immediate benefit of this diet is to help anyone shed excess weight. The additional benefits are even more impressive—reduced risk for such serious health problems as high blood pressure, elevated blood fats, and insulin resistance, conditions directly linked to heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and stroke.

 Rating:  - A Primer On HFCS, But Don't Forget About Carbs That Turn To Sugar, Too, Dr. Johnson!Is it even conceivable that there is a substance in the foods we are eating that is quite literally making us fat and sick? Not only is it possible, but it's happening with nary a fuss from the hundreds of millions of people each and every day who stuff their faces with food products containing high-fructose corn syrup. You've seen this in just about every processed food ever made and it's even shown up in toothpaste and baby food of all things. HFCS has become a pandemic and Dr. ... Read More Rating:  - Some useful research, but implausible overallThe author has documented some harmful effects of dietary fructose. The arguments are scientific and the marketing hype is kept to a minimum. However the research is narrowly focused on fructose, and most other conventional wisdom, regarding, for example, dietary fat, is taken at face value. In the end, his ultimate argument, that obesity is caused by sugar alone, and not by other refined carbohydrates, can hardly be true, given the anecdotal evidence of millions of dieters. Rating:  - Not a healthy alternative.I was very disappointed with this book. There is some good information about HFCS but the author seems to think that trading in HFCS for artificial sweeteners is a good thing. Most of the recipes and menus rely heavily on artificial sweeteners and dairy. Why trade one poison for another? Rating:  - This book is OUTSTANDING!This book is outstanding for people who love sweets, are overweight, and can't seem to lose weight around the belly section. I was not really overweight, but I do carry extra fat around the middle section, and have an insatiable sweet tooth. After reading this and discovering all the other sources of sugar that we are consuming without really thinking about it, I took the 2-week sugar detox described in the book. I lost 15 pounds in the belly area! It was so noticable and I felt so much energy, ... Read More Rating: - excellentevery thing the author writes about makes sense. why asians are not fat despite eating so much rice. there is more research to be done, but as a starter in this subject, i think it is very informative and useful
