When you look at stats like these, it’s so easy to see how diet and education play such a huge role in whose health or not:

Hard-hitting, but all true. Perhaps we can have empathy for Ms. Deen, as like so many others, it isn’t all her fault; she espouses the Religion of Modern Medicine, and encapsulated in that, is an ignorance of nutrition and a preponderance for thinking that , “Whatever comes my way, I’ll take the Magic Bullet for”…Did her PCP- (Head Priest), ever talk with her about food, lifestyle choices? Physicians today seem to forget that they have the ultimate responsibility for being teachers first, and then problem-solvers if their lessons aren’t followed. (There is some question about Med School education being complete and factual, so perhaps therein lies the problem…Endowments from Pharma no doubt skew that curriculum formula.) Maybe she really couldn’t get good advice from her Drug Agent Doc after all….

Dear Nancy in way of support for my wife, that has a sugar addiction, I decided to join her in dropping sugar from my diet, to help her out I bought your book Suicide by Sugar.
At first I only intended to not have sugar in front of her, but shortly I dropped all sugar. By the way I am 48 and overweight 6’2″ with a heavy bone structure,when I first went off sugar I was 293lbs.

At the time I quit sugar about a month ago, I in no way considered that I had a problem with sugar. For the most part I never had hard candy like my wife, I hated it, about four years back I had dropped sugar from my two to five cups of coffee or tea a day. If I had any weakness to do with sugar, it was cookies and weekly ice cream, it was very seldom we did not have some type of cookie in the house, baked or store bought.

Since my wife and I have abandoned sugar one month ago, both our lives have changed for the better. My wife has lost about 7 pounds and her health has improved, her chronic acid reflux has abated, her Fibromyalgia has greatly lessened and her general feeling of energy and well being has improved also less pain and bloating during her period.

For myself I’ve lost about 13 pounds all the feeling of bloat in my midsection. For many years now I have not liked the oder of my sweat, that is gone, also my bowel movements have become better formed. One other thing, for about the last ten years I’ve had a red and greasy nose prone to pimples, that is gone as well, all after one month!!
I never would have thought sugar was doing anything to myself, my wife feels, if I had not bought her your book she may not have had the resolve to make it.
Certainly my life would not have changed for the better and I haven’t even read your book. lol
What can I say but thanks to you and please keep getting the message out there, your saving lives without even using a cold stethoscope.
Richard in northern BC Canada

Three weeks to a healthier you! AMAZING.
I read a reference to Nancy’s work in a book in my library in Auckland New Zealand where I live.
I ordered the whole lot from the internet site and recieved it 7 days later. I have realised that my calcium supplement that is suppossed to be helping my joint pain is actually making it worse.
I have changed my diet greatly, lactose free milk, next to no suger, and I am working through finding out what my body is rejecting. Letting my body tell me what works.
My mother cut suger out of her diet and she lost 33lb and only minimal excercise. I have helped my friends and lent books to relatives and they are sold on the idea. Thanks you guys have changed many lives in and opened many eyes in NZ. Thanks mate. Ps I have way more energy and can run for longer with less recovery time.

I know I am addicted to sugar, but I simply cannot stop eating carbs. I am trying, but I just feel hungry all the time, and then end up eating a ton all at once. It scares me. As a ballet dancer my body needs to be in excellent condition, and I feel this one issue is what is stopping that. *Sigh* Any suggestions?

Noch Einmal, or one more time! If the sweetener is described as a sugar or other simple carbohydrate it will hurt you, because it is a mix of fructose and glucose. Both are bad for you. Organic sugar is still sugar susceptible to abuse and will make you sick. So less sugar, more complex carbohydrates like whole grains, or foods like whole fruit where dietary fiber slows the sugar down.
