Summary: Lick the Sugar Habit
Review: This is an excellent easy to read handbook about health and nutrition and the "foods" to avoid putting in your mouth. The only thing I would change about it is it's title. I have purchased MANY copies of this book and when I give it to family and friends, they all have the same reaction -- "sure I like sugar but it's not a habit -- I don't really eat that much". The title is a turnoff to most people for a few reasons -- 1. they are in denial 2. they don't realize how much sugar is in all of the packaged, canned and bottled "stuff" they consume and 3. people do not like to think that they have bad habits". It ought to be published under a title something like: "Have More Energy and Save Lots of Money in Doctor's Bills" or "Eliminate That Excess Fat You Are Carrying Around".

Summary: A Little Too Simplified
Review: Whenever you read one of these advice books, the first thing you always need to do is make sure that the source of the advice is a credible one. Nancy Appleton holds a Ph.D. from Walden University, which is one of those bogus online universities that will basically give you a diploma if you're willing to shell out enough money. Secondly, her Ph.D. is in healthcare administration or some other such field, so she's not really an expert on the topics she covers in this book. Third, there's nothing in this book to indicate that she did any sort of scientific research on this topic. It seems like she basically just read a bunch of research papers on sugar intake written by other people and compiled them together into an advice book for publication. Even if you overlook Appleton's credibility, the way in which this book is written also leaves the reader in suspicion of the author. The advice given in this book is no better than what you mother probably told you when you were 5-years-old. On top of that, the length of this book is not indicative of the detail and thoroughness of its content. This book could have been written in 5 pages or less. Virtually every piece of information in here has been repeated at least twice. In fact, there are times when the exact same piece of information is repeated twice on the same page. There are also numerous mistakes in spelling and grammar. Whoever edited this book clearly didn't do a very good job of it.
