Sugarcoating Diabetes addresses the question of why it is virtually impossible for diabetics to get straightforward, consistent answers to fundamental questions about diet, drugs, and supplements. The problem, as revealed in Sugarcoating Diabetes, is that virtually all of the health information we receive traces its source to competing entities that know little and care less about preventing diabetes or its complications. As the incidence of type 2 diabetes continues to rise to epidemic proportions, food, supplement, and drug companies capitalize on an expanding market by selling us sugar free candies, miracle vitamins, and lifetime supplies of expensive and ineffective drugs. These industries expend hundreds of millions of dollars annually to promote their products leaving no important source of health information untouched.
The facts, culled from courts of law and science, make the open and shut case that we struggle with diabetes because we are grossly misinformed with slogans instead of science. By revealing the scarcely heard scientist's point of view, Sugarcoating Diabetes empowers its readers to successfully control diabetes using the best "sugar-free" information available today. Unlike other diabetes management books that promise "a road to success," Sugarcoating Diabetes illuminates the path by removing blinders.
What makes this book not only credible, but inspiring, is the story of the author's own reversal of a severe type 2 diabetic condition, which offers hope to those struggling with diabetes. This is not a "miracle cure" book; rather it exposes modern snake oil remedies and marketing slogans that don't work and reveals the science-based methods that many useto manage diabetes without medication, supplements, or sugar-free cookies. Based on extensive research of the medical literature, Sugarcoating Diabetes will enlighten health care professionals as well as diabetics.
