About this product

Product Information

In "The Sugar Fix," Dr. Richard Johnson, who oversees a pioneering research program, reports on discoveries about how fructose impacts the body--and directly connects the American obesity epidemic to a frightening escalation in our fructose consumption. 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.

  • New insight to problems caused by too much fructose in

    Bought the book on recommendation of my personal doctor. It reveals the problems discovered by too much fructose in one's diet. There is a lobby from the corn-based sweetner industry to try to mask the bad effects. I since checked out some of the backup references and it looks like the book is based on facts and science. No "male bovine manure" was detected in the writings. I tried the "2-week" "fructose detox phase" and lost ten pounds in three weeks, one inch of waist girth, and gained about fifteen bucks' savings in my average weekly grocery bill, so for me it worked. Book also taught me how to reduce my blood uric acid count. Blood pressure dropped, too. Yea !

    I didn't even know about the dangers of high fructose corn syrup when I started a diet early in 2008. By the time I picked this book up, I had lost 20 pounds, and for the most part had only cut out sodas, not much else. The book paralleled my own experience, in that many of the author's patients had experienced the same results. It convinced me to be more observant of what I am buying. Get this book, and take its message to heart.
