Sweet Poison, Why Sugar Makes Us Fat by David Gillespie

3.0

---

When this book was released it seemed to be at the start of the anti sugar movement. The book does discuss some common thoughts that carbohydrates and sugar feed cancers and ill health which makes some sense. But the beat ups on other food plans Adkins and Keto just didn't sit well with me. Whilst I have followed neither myself I know people who have and have had a lot of success with them. I get that the author speaks from his personal experiences and research I just dont see the need to disparage other plans so much. It is a good starting tool for people to read when first considering quitting/cutting down on sugar but I would also suggest reading other books on this subject too. #goodreads #litsy #tea_sipping_bookworm #bookstagram #amazon #kindle
