My Review:
Added sugar is the reality that we have to live with every day. Table sugar is fine and limited up to tea and coffee; however, soda, fizzy drinks, cold drinks, chocolates, biscuit, etc cannot be manufactured without involving added sugar. What is it and how it is made – you will get all answers in this short beautiful book.
From processed foods to frozen and canned food to beverages added sugar is everywhere because it adds taste and increases the shelf life of the products. This book charts out everything about sugars, its effects on metabolism, body organs like brain and liver. People think that alcohol damage our liver, yes it does, but added sugars also do the same by disturbing the pattern of insulin receptors that leads change in hormones. The biggest USP of the book is that it lists out all possible names of added sugars used by the food selling companies.
The book is descriptive and equips all of us so that we can understand what we are eating and what composition of sugars are being sold in the market. The book is a comprehensive guide on added sugars through its five chapters that affect our body as in the capacity of slow poison. The author tried to present all the information in simple form, however, at times it sounds subjectively technical, but that is ok as long as you got your health lessons. Not all things that are sugar coated are healthy; they might be alluring to eyes and taste buds. I am sure added sugars is a less heard topic by health gurus…I had it first time in my life. What about you? Informative, precise, clear, well-laid out…a huge shout out for Srividya’s Added Sugars – the Slow Poison.
My Rating:
On a scale of 5…it is 5 out of 5!
