About this title: It's a prime ingredient in countless substances from cereal to soup, from cola to coffee. Consumed at the rate of one hundred pounds for every American every year, it's as addictive as nicotine -- and as poisonous. It's sugar. And "Sugar Blues", inspired by the crusade of Hollywood legend Gloria Swanson, is the classic, bestselling expose that unmasks our generation's greatest medical killer and shows how a revitalizing, sugar-free diet can not only change lives, but quite possibly save them.

"Dufty's sprawling, inflammatory writ of a rant is disorganized and preachy, with a colloquial tone, liberal manipulation of fact, and touch of fanaticism that tempts the reader to dismiss it entirely.
BUT, it is also a punishing and deserved slap in the face for our socially-selected ignorance about sugar. The historical, economic, and chemical truths about sugar refinement and it's effects on us, the over-consumers, were old news at the time of this book's publication in the mid-70s. Yet somehow, the larger picture of cause and (especially) effect can still seem revelatory today. This is a topic about which we as a larger culture have chosen, dangerously, not to learn.
Read this book, but with the appropriate grain of salt. Laugh when fact gets pulled into the deep end of extreme conjecture, but consider honestly those points rooted in any truth at all - even the crazy-sounding ones.
Morton's table salt really does contain dextrose. Meditate for a moment on that fact and its implications. Then, seek out more and better sources."
"This book basically outlines the history of sugar and some roles it is thought to have played in some fairly significant historical events. I would classify it more as historical than nutritional. If you are wanting to cut back or eliminate sugar but are lacking the motivation...this book will do it. For me, I personally find that I am much more emotionally stable if I stay away from the stuff...so this book has helped strengthen my resolve."
"It's hard to take this book seriously even though I actually agree that eating sugar is pretty unhealthy. It's full of hyperbole, distorted statistics, and scare tactics. Basically, it's propaganda. For instance, did you know that the real reason cigarettes are so bad for you is that tobacco is cured with sugar?
I guess this works on some people, but I'd rather not have my intelligence insulted -- even in the service of a good cause."
