Sugar Shock! – How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life

by Connie Bennett, Stephen Sinatra

Paperback

416 pages

A provocative expose of the negative effects of sugars and simple carbs – and how to break the addiction.

Most readers already know that succumbing to sweets too often can lead to obesity and diabetes. What many don’t know, however, is that too many “quickie carbs” can bring on a host of other maladies-such as “brain fog,” fatigue, mood swings, heart disease, and even cancer-from which millions may be suffering because of their sugar or carbohydrate habits. Once besieged by 44 seemingly unconnected symptoms, former “sugar addict” Connie Bennett, an experienced journalist, managed to kick sweets and simple carbs in 1998. She improved her health-and uncovered extensive medical research that substantiated her theory: people who eat too many low-caliber culprit carbs could be in sugar shock. Based on the insights of thousands of physicians, nutritionists, researchers, and “sugar sufferers” worldwide, SUGAR SHOCK! not only addresses how badly sugar affects the body, it demonstrates how everyone can kick the sugar habit.

Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C., is an experienced journalist, former sugar addict and holistic health counselor. She founded “The 21-Day, Kick-Sugar Countdown Diet” and an international online support group, “KickSugar.”

Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., is an internationally recognized cardiologist, certified nutrition specialist, and bioenergetic psychotherapist with 30 years’ medical experience.
