Added sugars are in practically everything you eat, and you probably eat much more of them than you think. In fact, 80 percent of the 600,000 consumer packaged foods sold in the United States contain added sugar. Most of us are eating way too much of the sweet stuff and don't even know it. <p/> <i>Sugar Shock</i> is the ultimate resource you need to break the hold sugar has on you. This easy-to-use guide will help you understand and gain control of the amount of added sugar you consume. It shares the science behind sugar: what it does to you, why your body is wired to crave it, and how to keep track of your intake. Plus, the extensive at-a-glance photo gallery shows hundreds of sugary packaged foods in the market, along with smart swaps for less sugary (but still delicious) options. There are also surefire low-sugar swaps for kids' cereals, snacks, and drinks that even your pickiest eater will love. <p/> <i>Sugar Shock</i> is packed with hundreds of nutritionist-approved sugar-zapping strategies: <p/><b><b>- </b>Get Your Sugar Score</b> - Take the Sweet Tooth Quiz and find out if your daily sugar dose is okay or out of whack.<br><b><b>- </b>7-Day Sugar</b> <b>Tracker</b> - Crack the deceptive code words and measurements that food labels use to fool you, and uncover the truth about your food choices.<br><b>- Go Clean & Lean </b>-<b> </b>Wean yourself from added sugars with an easy, painless 7-Day Sugar Step-Down Plan.

More recently, nutritional scientists have reversed that position, mostly because the food industry has forced extraordinary amounts of sugar into the food supply, a largely unforeseen consequence of public health messaging that warned against fat while giving sugar a green light. <i>Sugar Shock</i> is an important tool to help today's consumers understand the high amounts of added sugar in their food and how to cut back. <br><b><b>--</b>Bruce Daggy, PhD., Nutrition Researcher & Educator <p/></b><i>Sugar Shock</i> is so much more than a book--it's a toolkit that can help anyone and everyone stay informed: Why we're eating too much sugar; how to make smarter choices about sweets, and provides actionable advice for smart swaps and meal hacks so you can eat what you love without giving up dessert! <i>Sugar Shock</i> brings clarity and authority to the clutter of nutrition and wellness space that's brimming with disinformation.
