SUGAR BLUES

Is sugar killing you sweetly?

Like opium, morphine, and heroin, sugar is an addictive, destructive drug, yet Americans consume it daily in everything from cigarettes to bread. If you are overweight or suffer from migraine, hypoglycemia, or acne, the plague of the Sugar Blues has hit you. In fact, by accepted diagnostic standards, our entire society is prediabetic.

William Dufty was once a sugar addict. Under Gloria Swanson’s influence, he kicked the habit. Now fifteen years later, looking fifteen years younger, Dufty sums up the results of his research on sugar in this eye-opening book. He reveals how the insidious poison invades our lives. He shows you how to live better without it and includes recipes for delicious dishes — all sugar-free.

A relentless, hard-hitting report. You are unlikely ever to feel quite the same about sugar.

If you are at all interested in your health, read this book!

THE SHOCKER THAT CURED MILLIONS OF THE SUGAR BLUES. WILL IT CURE YOU TOO?

It’s a prime ingredient in countless substances that we eat and drink, from cereal to soup, from cola to coffee. Consumed at the rate of one hundred pounds for every American every year, it’s as addictive as nicotine or heroin — and as poisonous, responsible for modern plagues ranging from depression to coronary thrombosis. It’s sugar. And SUGAR BLUES, inspired by the crusade of Hollywood legend Gloria Swanson, is the classic, bestselling expose that unmasks our generation’s greatest medical killer — yet, at the same time, shows how a revitalizing, sugar-free diet can not only change your life but quite possibly save it.
