Sugar Nation Under God

It is a book on his personal journey with his father in exploring the dangerous diabetes in the country. He finds out the truth and map out a personal recommendation what to eat, how to exercise and how to take care to beat this deadly disease. The government, different agencies and even medical doctors do not help in this aspect. Medical advice only offers to treat symptoms but not the root cause of the wrong food choice. With fresh vegetables and fruits, consumers have a better selection of food from plants and not from industrial plants. Sugar nation pinpoints what is wrong on American diet loaded with sugar in the form of High Fruticose Corn Syrup. US is a sugar nation with average yearly consumption of 160 pounds with many diabetes and obesity and no freedom at all!
