Lick the Sugar Habit
It is
surprising to learn that the average person tends to consume
approximately 154 LBS of sugar, and artificial sweeteners in a single
year. Though you may find this to be a very high amount, it can be
easily proven and justified with just a few calculations, take for
instance the calculation of a 12 OZ can of any carbonated soft drink. A
can of any soft drink has approximately 17 spoons of sugar. So
considering this fact, you can calculate how much sugar you tend to
consume in a month just by drinking a can of coke everyday!
Nancy
Appleton, the author of Lick the Sugar Habit wants everyone to be
aware of the tremendous amounts of sugar that they are consuming so that
they can reevaluate their eating and drinking habits. The book states
that it is necessary to make lifestyle and eating habit changes, which
will lead to the reduction in the amount of sugar consumed in a day. Too
much sugar in a diet causes the development of many degenerative
diseases. So it can be said that this book is a guide to getting
unhooked from sugar, with tips on shopping, snacking and monitoring your
basic health. The main point Nancy Appleton discusses throughout the
book is that sugar is a substance that wrecks your immune system. With
too much sugar in the body, you tend to develop chronic conditions like
arthritis, diabetes, hypoglycemia, osteoporosis, and of course, dental
cavities and other dental diseases.
The
inspiration Nancy Appleton got to write her book was the fact that she
herself had been addicted to sugar. Her addiction to sugar developed
with her craving for sweets. This consequently led to numerous allergies
in her body that started developing without the right processing of
sugar that is consumed in the body. She then found the means of
restoring her health, which she has written about in the book, and is
very interesting to read.
Nancy
Appleton starts her book, Lick the Sugar Habit with numerous
quizzes wherein you can find out if you are a 'sugaraholic'. Once you
find out about this, you can then try to find out if you suffer from the
many food allergies that may and can develop from sugar. Once you find
out all about this, you can then move on to starting a new low sugar
life, after following one of her plans to help in weaning yourself from
sugar.
Though
Nancy Appleton has completed a PhD, she avoids all technical data about
the effects of sugar on a person throughout this book. This is the main
reason why Lick the Sugar Habit can be easily read by anyone and
