gregorgross reviewed Year of no sugar by Eve O. Schaub
We eat way too much sugar and kill ourselves with it
4 stars
Eve Schaub sees a video that tells her added sugar is toxic for us and should be treated as an attempt to poison us. She starts a year with no sugar for her entire family.
Our situation in Germany, Europe is way different than for Schaub in the US:
- we don't have added sugar in any product (but in way too many, still)
- I for one cook most of my meals myself, at home and at work
So the situation is not as bad here as compared to the US, where soon about 40% of the population are obese, have diabetes and other life-threatening sicknesses caused by eating too much added sugar.

What I still learn and want to do about this for me and my family:
- stop drinking Cola and similar stuff and fruit juices (which I started to avoid already)
- avoid added sugar in industrially manufactured sweets in order to be able to eat sugary sweets that are worth it (mostly handmade stuff, for instance, by my mom etc.)
- try to avoid all sugar for 2 weeks a year
- try to use dectrose instead for all other instances where I need to add sugar to any recipe)
Great book about a great project for a very important topic, which is how to eat healthy and live a long life.
