Multiple physical and mental miseries caused by the consumption of sugar.
What specific health problems does sugar cause? Diabetes, obesity, coronary thrombosis, tooth and gum decay, varicose veins and stomach trouble, and, indirectly, mental disturbances.
Read William Dufty’s SUGAR BLUES and learn how you can eliminate the poison of sugar from your life and discover a thinner, healthier you. SUGAR BLUES is a memoir, a cookbook, and a primer on how to kick the sugar habit.
”Everything you always wanted to know about sugar and weren’t able to find out is in SUGAR BLUES … Incredibly thorough … one of the most revealing, instructive, and helpful books ever written … Dufty rips the façade off the sugar pushers who are going to make their fast bucks over our dead bodies — if we let them. Sounding a warning against establishment cookbooks, Dufty completes his SUGAR BLUES with a detailed presentation of a fantastic range of food menus he has created … over the years since liberation from the White Plague.”
“William Dufty, a prize-winning journalist, has put the food philosophy of his glorious guru-wife, Gloria Swanson, into print in SUGAR BLUES … a sardonically entertaining account of how the human race has had the ‘the mark of cane’ put upon it.”
“Superb and scary.”
“Readers who want to feel better, look better, and enjoy life more — to say nothing of those just looking for a good book — will certainly be attracted to SUGAR BLUES.”
“Rarely has scientific information been made so entertaining. William Dufty has gloriously performed a service for us … making (science) more comprehensible and accessible. He writes with conviction … blending extensive research with his own personal experience … a fascinating story that even skeptics can enjoy. SUGAR BLUES is bound to become a health classic.”
About the author
After his deliverance from decades of heavy C12H22O11 addiction, William Dufty introduced the work of the renowned Japanese Sensei (guide) with his translation of You Are All Sanpaku in 1965. Chief intercontinental cook for Gloria Swanson, a prize-winning New York newspaperman, and a contributing editor to the East-West Journal, Dufty’s credits include the international bestseller Lady Sings The Blues.
“If you are at all interested in your health, read this book!”
The mind truly boggles when one glances over what passes for medical history. Through the centuries, troubled souls have been barbecued for bewitchment, exorcised for possession, locked up for insanity, tortured for masturbatory madness, psychiatrized for psychoses, lobotomized for schizophrenia.
How many patients would have listened if the local healer had told them that the only thing ailing them was sugar blues?
