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.

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.

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!"

This was essentially a junk food counter, had little basic fruits, veggies and ingredients. Didn't meet our needs.

I thought this book was a how to book. It is a book that tells the amount of suggar in foods that you eat. This book did not tell me anything about how to stear kids away from sugary foods. I was looking for good sugar subsitutes and natural foods. If you want to know exactly how much sugar you are eating then this book is for you.

This book, while generally correct that over-indulgence in sugar is not great, is a load of garbage when it comes to scientific basis. I wonder if the author ever researched our biological proclivity toward sugar before running away frightened of its affect on the body. MODERATION is the key.

A WONDERFUL BOOK BY A GREAT WRITER! NANCY HAS PROVEN TIME AND AGAIN THAT SHE KNOWS HER SUBJECTS. I APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO FOR ME. NOW, DO YOURSELF, AND ME, A FAVOR,BUY "Running Out Of Road", IT WILL SCARE THE SWEETS OUT OF YOU! Love ya, Robert Appleton, Jr.
