4.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, December 26, 2007

By	KJN "Cuda" (Novi, Mi.) - See all my reviews

Lots of information, very thought provoking regarding the dangers of too much sugar hitting your system at one time, spiking your insulin production, which can do a lot of damage. Diabetes runs in my family, so the topic of the book is of major interest to me. Some of the recommendations are contradictory, though, as if the book was written by several authors who didn't quite agree on the best course of action. In spite of this, in general, the book has had a significant impact on my own lifestyle - primarily in diet, since I had been following a healthy exercise routine prior to buying the book. Well worth reading!
