The bitter truth about sugar is that not only is it addictive and harmful, but it's absolutely EVERYWHERE!
More and more evidence suggests sugar is the primary culprit when it comes to not just obesity, but many chronic diseases.
There's really no doubt any longer that excess sugar is toxic to your body. It's only a matter of time before the medical community finally fesses up that sugar is the smoking gun behind most cancers and other diseases.
Excess sugar can also wreak havoc on your skin, energy levels and the scale.
Does the following sound familiar?
- The doctor says you've got health issues due to aging and prescribes medication
- You're depressed or you're prescribed antidepressants
- Fat-free is your mantra
- You're told grains are healthy
- Weight increase no matter how little you eat
- You tire easily and always feel exhausted
- Body aches, especially in your joints
- Feelings of being powerless, especially where your body is concerned
- Almost given up losing weight
- Low confidence because of the way you look and feel
- You have problems focusing and concentrating
- You blame your age, thyroid, menopause, and genes
- If you think cutting out a few desserts is the answer, you are just setting yourself up for failure. Giving up late night snacks or passing on the birthday cake will barely make a dent if you're still eating a "standard American diet".
In this book, you'll learn how sugar negatively affects your mind and body, and why artificial sweeteners are even worse for you. You'll learn the many names of hidden sugars, and how to find and avoid them.
More importantly, you'll learn how to break free from excessive sugar consumption, how to 'detox', and then how to reset your sweetness sensors back to natural levels with our step by step 14 day sugar detox meal plan.

Chapter 1: Falling Under Sugar’s Spell
THAT SUGAR HAS CAST a spell over humankind cannot be denied. Since it was first domesticated over 10,000 years ago, sugar has been credited with mystical powers, touted as a medical remedy, been a status symbol, and slowly spread its sticky tentacles all over the globe.
Man had evolved to be a superior processor of fructose, once only available in seasonal fruit, and our bodies were designed to crave it and to store it as fat, to protect us from starving in the winter.
Sugar made that substance available year-round, feeding our instinctive cravings and, as it became both more available and more affordable, we became infatuated with sugar.
The first to fall for sugar were the New Guinea tribesmen, who discovered that chewing a stem of sugar cane produced a totally new and enticing burst of flavor. They cultivated the plants, and sugar became an integral part of their ancient myths and featured heavily in their religious ceremonies. Knowledge of this wondrous plant slowly spread from one island to another.
Sugar cane arrived on the mainland of Asia around 1000 B.C., and from there, the magic of sugar continued to spread westward. In India, sugar cane was refined into the form we know today, sugar.
How to make sugar from sugar cane was a secret process, passed carefully from masters to apprentices, but by 600 A.D. the rulers of the Persian Empire were dazzling their guests with all sorts of sugared treats.
The conquering Arab armies were themselves enthralled by sugar, and they took both the plants and the knowledge of how to refine sugar home with them. Wherever they went, the Arabs brought with them sugar, the product and the technology of its production,
wrote Sidney Mintz in Sweetness and Power (Viking Press, 1985).
The Arabs also turned sugar production from a secret art into an industry. The work was so physically difficult that slaves and prisoners of war made up the bulk of the workforce. The European Crusaders who returned home brought with them memories of sugar, and European noblemen began to trade with the Muslim caliphs for sugar since it couldn’t be grown in Europe.
The amount available was very small, and sugar was considered a luxury spice. As the Ottoman Empire spread in the 1400’s, trade with the Mid-East became much more difficult, and sugar was very scarce in Europe.
However, the European elite had fallen under sugar’s spell and they were not about to give it up easily. The many European explorers of the 15th century were looking for other sources for spices, with sugar ranking high on that list. The Portuguese took sugar cane to the Atlantic islands that they colonized and Columbus planted the first sugar cane in the New World on his second voyage.
The rain forests of this New World were ideally suited for growing cane. Sugar was about to ‘boom’.
The Caribbean Islands, and later Brazil, became centers of sugar production, and this increased production had two terrible results. The first was that the price of sugar fell, since there was much more of it available, and because it was more affordable, the demand for it rose. Sugar was no longer a luxury but became a household staple, not only for the nobility but also for the growing middle-class.
By the mid-1600’s, even the poor would have access to sugar, and it began to be eaten much more often with long-term effects on health. As early as 1675, the British physician Thomas Willis noted a rise in diabetes in
