Nancy Appleton Books exists to provide information about the common killers in our diet. SUGAR KILLS!
Nancy Appleton PhD started writing and lecturing about health in the late 1970s as a reaction to her own poor health. Her discoveries about sugar and other common diet mistakes led to her first book Lick the Sugar Habit, which is still chugging along as a 25-year bestseller. Six more books have followed. Her latest is Suicide by Sugar. Dr. Appleton has also encapsulated her life’s work into the movie Sweet Suicide. She is semi-retired and living in San Diego.

HI Ms. Appleton,
I use your books on sugar and bones in my teaching at Bauman College. They are easy reads packed with excellent information.
If you have a reissue of LICK THE SUGAR HABIT in the works, you may wish to correct what appears to be a typo on page 179 wherein you suggest 50 milligrams of chromium. I believe it should be micrograms.
Hi
I was wondering if Dr. Appleton was aware of a product called Just Like Sugar http://www.justlikesugar.ca. It is made of orange peel, chicory root, calcium and vitamin C. It is recommended by Dr. Russel Blaylock.
I would be interested in any comments Dr. Appleton would have on this product.
Thank-you,
Bettina
PS I used this as I couldn’t find an email address.
Hello, Dr. Appleton,
As an abstinent member of Overaters Anonymous, I have wrestled with the question of the advisability of eating limited amounts of sugar in my food plan. I lost weight, my triglycerides and cholesterrol are lower and I like an occasional sweet of some kind. My OA sponsor says sugar is rat poison. Period. I see by your list that sugar is dangerous — but even in limited amounts?
Thank you,
David
Less refined sugar is better than a lot. None is better than less. How much you eat is up to you.
Great research on soft drinks .
My son who is 11 now has been drinking popular cola for a good 7 to 8 years . He gets migraines and these vomiting episodes . Doctor says it’s cycleatic vomiting syndrome and he will grow out of it. I took him to a psychologist and they said to cut out the cola and he hasn’t been sick since then . Can’t believe something as simple as that cured him .
Funny, I stopped eating sugar a few weeks ago and noticed my usually bad seasonal allergies went away. This is after I first switched to Whole food, no refined flour at all. Second, I went off Corn Syrup, I wouldn’t buy anything with either refined flour or corn syrup in it. Finally, a few weeks ago I cut out Sugar, and that did the trick.
The combination of cutting out all three works. I will add honey now and then in small quantities. I read that its natural complexity has shown that it helps the body maintain the proper blood sugar levels. Of course everything in moderation.
Throughout the gradual three steps above, I begun to reduce my portions as well. What I notice now is that I get full on one small serving. Here’s the kicker, I’m a 6’4″ large skeletal structured mail. But, I’ve never consistently felt this good. not even as a youth, in my early years, I was always tired. Not any more.
I just discovered your writings about sugar. Well, I hope its made required reading among kids. This is what they need to be teaching in schools.
i WILL APPRECIATE RESPONSIBLE LIVING SURPRISINGLY ENJOYABLE
I have read all three of Nancy Appleton book, Lick the sugar habits, Suicide by sugar and stopping inflamation, plus other books about sugars. And I notice that it helps a little bit. However what really makes the difference is not eating meat.
After I watch the Video Folk over Knife, everyting that I have learned finally make sense. I have not eat meat since March 2012 and have lost 8 pounds. And I still goes out to buffet and stuff myself like a pig but just avoid the meat items at the buffet, and still lost 8 lbs since March 2012.
Nancy books on Sugars makes sense. But what really makes a difference is the Video “Folk over Knife” about not eating meat.
George Foreman said to “Knock out the fat” with his George Foreman Grill. But by not eating meat, I knock out 100% of the fat in the meat plus all the other hormones, chemical and stuff that is in the meat these days.
I am not a vegan as I still eat fish once in a blue moon. But I do avoid the meat.
Our experience says that eliminating sugar is VASTLY MORE IMPORTANT than you choose to credit in your comments. In fact, our program has always been animal protein neutral: designed so that anyone can benefit, not just vegetarian/vegans. We are the first ones to say that many vegetarian/vegans lose the benefit of no meat by replacing protein calories with carbohydrate calories to feel full. This is not recommended, because carbs do not replace protein. Meat eaters are fully aware that animals are generally the most efficient means of including protein in a diet. Yes, there are vegetable sources of protein, but these typically have to be eaten in large quantities.
While we appreciate your opinion (hence not arbitrarily deleting it) and are glad that you are doing something that includes taking out sugar from your diet to get healthy, we do have to comment when such doctrinaire statements serve to misrepresent that our program is in fact animal protein neutral. We will have to agree to disagree here and wish each other well.
Thank you for your readership.

I would recommend everyone here read “Caffeine Blues: Wake Up to the Hidden Dangers of America’s #1 Drug” before looking for health solutions or cause from sugar, inflamation, minerals, Vitamins, Vegetarians, Co Enzyme Q10, Meditation to illicit the relaxation response, Etc.
In short, Caffeine cause stress & fight or flight response in the body. And continous fight or flight response in the body will result in all kind of damage to it, as the body does not care of the damages since it is more important to escape from the Lions or what ever predators at the moment, and the body does not know that the fight or fight response is cause by the drug Caffeine.
So before you look into all these health solution, look at the cause of your health problem of Caffeine. Otherwise you are just pouring water into a water container that has a hole leaking water at the bottom.
