"Decades ago, the official line in nutritional science was that added sugar was mostly harmless, apart from being empty calories and increasing the risk of dental caries. 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. Sugar Shock is an important tool to help today’s consumers understand the high amounts of added sugar in their food and how to cut back." 
—Bruce Daggy, PhD., Nutrition Researcher & Educator

"Sugar Shock 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! Sugar Shock brings clarity and authority to the clutter of nutrition and wellness space that’s brimming with disinformation. This is a must-read for science-based information, presented in a deliciously digestible, relatable, and enjoyable form!"
