Berkley Books (part of the Penguin Group) has given me
permission to distribute an excerpt from the new book,
"SUGAR SHOCK!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your
Life -- And How You Can Get Back on Track" by journalist
and former sugar addict Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C., with
Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D.
SUGAR SHOCK! is a compelling, easy-to-read, eye-opening
book that features interviews with hundreds of medical
experts and the insights of thousands of "sugar sufferers."
The excerpt, "Hypoglycemia -- A Hidden Hell," tells the sad
story of how millions of Americans are needlessly suffering
from a constellation of symptoms that perplex even their
doctors. Physicians often don't realize that mystifying
ailments such as mood swings, depression, mental confusion,
severe PMS, and heart palpitations are telltale signs of
reactive hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). And this condition
is usually triggered by excessively consuming sugar and
refined carbs (something most Americans do).
Tragically, people who suffer from hypoglycemia are often
misdiagnosed for years. Many are told that they have a
mental illness, and they're often advised to seek therapy
or take psychiatric drugs. But, usually the best treatment
for hypoglycemia is quite simple: Just cut out all sugars
and processed carbs and eat modest amounts of nouri****ng,
wholesome foods.
