Summary: Every American should read this!
Comment: Easy to read, good reference and very enligtening. Ms. Gittleman gets the point across that fat is not making American's fat---sugar is! The fat-free, fat-reduced food industry has us fooled! I've been reducing sugar and have already lost weight and I have more energy at night after working all day then I have ever have!
I hope I can convince my friends and family that need to get healthier to read this simplistic, yet very informative book!

Summary: Part of the Puzzle on Sugar
Comment: This book completes part of the puzzle on the dangers of sugar. It is more practical than other books about sugar but has some useful information on the dangers of it sprinkled throughout (no pun intended), including some that I was unaware about and not mentioned in other books I have read.
It looks like the author has eclectically picked out many recipes from different sources so I assume they are the best she has to offer with no sugar in them. They look simple and effective, though, I have not tried any except the vanilla coffee one. It really does make it into a French vanilla taste quite easily! I can hardly wait to try the other recipes as they look interesting to make without white sugar by subsituting with clever use of fruits, etc.
I gave the book only 4 stars because it is not exactly a thoroughly researched book as she left out any mention about Rapadura(TM) sugar!!! This is the only WHOLE sugar on the market that has never been crystalized nor has had the molasses separated from it during the entire very minimal processing of it. In fact, it is just dried and sieved sugar. It has a different "mouth" feel that proves it is not processed at all!
All other sugars are crystalized and have the molasses separated from it during processing and then mixed back in again depending on the type of sugar being made, i.e. brown sugar, etc. White sugar, of course, has the molasses permanently removed.

Summary: the sucrose itself ain't the half of it
Comment: There are TWO major hazards to refined sugar (cane or beet):
1. the sugar itself ROTS TEETH (and robs the body of vitamins);
2. the BONE particles that remain IN the finished product are
the NUMBER ONE cause of the various forms of cancer manifested
throughout the "civilized" world, much more so than tobacco or
pollution.
Although the fact (disputed, yes) that refined sugar rots teeth
is reason enough to obsess about ingredients (both stated and
undeclared/hidden), the more subtle and unpublicized hazard of
refined sugar, namely the CHARRED BEEF BONES which are used to
render the product pure white (by filtration through bone ash),
seems to be equally worthy of investigation and exposure (i.e.,
publicity & eradication).
Since 1981 the word has been out (avatar Sathya Sai Baba, in
transcripts of his Summer Showers discourses) that it is the
BONES IN SUGAR that is the #1 cause of cancer. I apologize
for not using proper grammar and for omitting citations for
this claim. I had much trouble to resurrect the pdf page that
gave the word-for-word precaution/disclosure about sugar's
danger vis-a-vis cancer(s). I do remember that it dates from
1981, and that it was neccessary to scroll to almost to the
end/bottom of the Acrobat page to read the few paragraphs on
the connection between sugar and cancer. Baba did offer the
simple alternative of "jaggery", which is UNrefined, and has
NO bone residue within it to cause cancer. Brown sugar isn't
suitable, being that usually that stuff is made from white
sugar with some molasses added back. Do a search via engine
for 'jaggery' and you'll come up with various links. Honey
is twice as sweet as sugar, so one could get by with half as
much in a recipe that calls for sugar, YET I'd still try to
omit same. Unless the label reads "unheated" (not raw), it's
been cooked, and the enzymes have been heated to death (or
whatever is the appropriate terminology).
I hope that by this review I have alerted some readers to an
ADDITIONAL reason to order the A L Gittleman user-friendly
guidebook on ridding one's cupboards and fridges of s-u-g-a-r.
