Good reference and information for anyone trying to deal with a diabetes diagnosis. Carr does a good job of explaining a complex, yet too often misunderstood disease.

Good Sugar Bad Sugar is a polemic about the dangers of sugar and how it causes chronic and debilitating illness like diabetes and metabolic immune disease. It is a book for people who want to quit eating sugar and/or are thinking about it. Mr. Carr premise is that we have been brainwashed to eat sugar despite the damage it causes. He is very convincing and his ability to show how sugar wrecks our bodies is rock solid. However, the author is quite certain that when we know how bad sugar is for us that we will easily, almost automatically stop. Ultimately he uses an intellectual argument and I see its value but it is hard for me to imagine that just logic and cerebral arguments alone will help people quit. I imagine most people need more support and help to stop eating sugar Despite the author's passionate belief that when we have the information we will stop eating sugar I have rarely seen change happen so quickly and easily. Or maybe this is just true for me. I am smart enough, I totally understand the dangers but it is still very hard to stop. And it is hard for this not to be acknowledged. . Right now it takes my full attention and focus.. So, although this book may be one of my most important tools in my quest to stop eating sugar. I just might need more than this.

Thank you to Netgalley and Arcturus Publishing Limited for giving me the opportunity to review this book for an honest opinion.
