Very Useful Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lick the Sugar Habit Sugar Counter: Discover the Hidden Sugar in Your Food (Paperback)
On the contrary to the last review of Lick the Sugar Habit Sugar Counter, I found the book very well organized. All I needed to do was look in the index and find fruit. I turned to page 133 and looked under fruit and ther was 1/2 a grapefruit. The book is called Sugar Counter, not fat and protein. Dr. Appleton gives the protein size, calories, carbohydrates, sugars (in grams and teaspoons). I find many whole foods under dairy, fruit and vegetables and others. What I like best about this book is that it lists the products sold by most fast food restaurants. Candy bars have their have ingredients on their packages unlike Big Macs who do not. Dr. Appleton has exposed the incredible amounts of sugar in our fast foods and this I believe, is a blessing. I give this book 4 stars.

Revealing Why Americans Are Getting Fatter!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lick the Sugar Habit Sugar Counter: Discover the Hidden Sugar in Your Food (Paperback)
This counter is just what is needed to track the sugar in our foods-especially in the fast food department. Excess sugar was the culprit in my pre-osteoporosis, teeth problems & acidity of the stomach. I feel so much better since I have cut down on sugar. This book is the only one I have found that counts sugar in grams & teaspoons.

NOT WHAT WE NEED!,
By
This review is from: Lick the Sugar Habit Sugar Counter: Discover the Hidden Sugar in Your Food (Paperback)
This book, like so many others does NOT provide a single, complete, alphabetized list / directory of all foods that list the sugar content.( I would also like to have fat, calories and protein too....) I spent MORE time determining HOW they "organized" the foods they do have into categories than actually getting any good information! Why can't they just make one single list of ALL foods? Additionally,MOST ALL OF THE FOOD LISTED are prepackaged, brand names or fast foods etc. and I could NOT find anything simple like: the sugar content of 1/2 a graefruit! SAVE YOUR money on this one. This one is NOT a solution in the quest for good, well-organized information! .... Hope that this assists somone and saves them from buying this poorly designed, non-informative "Lick the Sugar Habit Sugar Counter book!"
