I really appreciated the breakdown of all types of sweeteners, how they're made, how they react in your body, and the names they're disguises under on labels. Also, the urging to quit all forms of sugar completely is great. My only complaint is how this book, and so many other sugar detox or health books, still recommends animal protein. When animal products, which includes dairy, eggs, and all meat, are greater causes of diabetes, cancer, inflammation, etc than even sugar- how is it that books like these actually recommend people trying to start eating healthily to eat these products? At least Cherie says to stick to organic and less processed meats and says to be wary of dairy because lactose is sugar, but still- animal products are animal products and it isn't just the added nitrates and sugar in meat products like bacon that cause diabetes and so many other chronic illnesses and disease. If you just skip over all of those recommendations though, his is still a very informative book.

I found this booked to be packed with information about all the different types of sweeteners. I really liked the thorough information about how they impact your body. I think people trying to cut back on their sugar intake will find it helpful but probably a little too much information for people just starting out.
