The Sugar Free Hoax Exposed
The Sugar Cycle

What the Experts Say:

"Call it the Big Fat Lie. Fat has, through no real fault of its own, become the great demon of the American dietary scene. It is no myth that one-third of Americans are overweight. It is, however, a myth that Americans are overweight due to excessive fat consumption."
--Dr. Richard Bernstein, MD

"A low-GI diet seems to be a promising alternative to standard dietary treatment for obesity in children."
--Spieth, LE, et al

"Eating a piece of cake made with sugar will raise your blood glucose level. So will eating corn on the cob, a tomato sandwich, or lima beans."
--American Diabetes Assn.

"Simply put, carbohydrate consumption has a direct effect on hormonal balance and, therefore, a direct effect on overall health."
--Christian Allan, PhD
