BREAK YOUR ADDICTION TO SUGAR IN 2020
___________

David Gillespie was 6 stone overweight, lethargic and desperate to lose weight fast, but he'd failed every diet out there.

Until he cut out sugar. Then he immediately started to lose weight - and kept it off.

Now slim and with new reserves of energy, David set out to investigate the connection between sugar, our soaring obesity rates and some of the more worrying diseases of the twenty-first century.

He discovered that it's not our fault we're fat:

- Sugar was once such a rare resource that we haven't developed an off-switch, and we can keep eating sugar without feeling full.

- In the space of 150 years, we have gone from eating no added sugar to more than 2 pounds a week.

- Eating that much sugar, you would need to run 4.5 miles every day of your life to not put on weight.

- Food manufacturers exploit our sugar addiction by lacing it through 'non-sweet' products like bread, sauces and cereals.

In Sweet Poison, David Gillespie exposes one of the great health menaces of our time and offers a wealth of practical information on how to quit sugar.

David Gillespie

David Gillespie is a lawyer and the best-selling author of the Sweet Poison books, a series about how we are all poisoning ourselves with sugar. He followed those up with Big Fat Lies and Toxic Oil both of which target the dangers of seed oils in our diet.

Having upset the dietetics industry by writing about stuff in which he has no qualifications, he then turned his focus to something else he is unqualified to write about, education. In Free Schools, David takes a parent's eye-view of the research and concludes that all the rolling green hockey fields and architect designed amphitheatres won't make a jot of difference to the education your child is likely to receive.

In Eat Real Food, David returns to the topic of human nutrition and delivers the ultimate practical guide to avoiding the two most toxic substances in the modern food supply, sugar and seed oil.
