More DescriptionSugar has often been considered one of the first things to avoid when trying to eat healthily, but it is no longer the villain it was once thought to be. In fact, recent scientific findings indicate that overly restricting sugar from your diet may actually be detrimental to your health. In The New Glucose Revolution Pocket Guide to Sugar & Energy, the world's leading experts on the glycemic index--an easy to understand ranking of foods based on their effects on blood glucose levels--clearly explain how sugar affects our bodies and which types of sugars are best to eat. Along with showing how a moderate amount of sugar-rich foods can be made part of a balanced and nutritious diet, they dispel common myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about sugar. Also included is accessible information on a variety of sugar-related topics, such as blood sugar control, dental health, moods, mental performance, and weight loss. Though consuming excessive amounts of sugar will never be a good idea, this handy pocket guide explains how having a sweet tooth can work to your advantage.
