Review of Living With Dietary Fructose Intolerance: A Guide to Managing your Life With this New Diagnosis (Paperback)

As a fellow sufferer of this condition, I was eager to read any tips and information I could find on this difficult to diagnose and almost impossible to eat around problem. My doctor gave me little to go on, and I've been scraping for info ever since.I belong to a couple online forums which have helped immensely, as those similiarly afflicted share what they've discovered with the groups, but that's about it.

What I'd hoped for in this book was an in depth view of what it's like to have the condition, ideas for eating, lists of sources of information, perhaps charts of fructose/sorbitol levels in different foods, and something beyond what my doctor first gave me when my test came back overwhelmingly positive.What I got was something hardly larger than a pamphlet, with little more than what I'd figured out on my own in the first week after my diagnosis.Oh yeah, and a bunch of recipes.After about 25 pages, this book is just a bunch of mainly milk-product-based recipes.These help me not one bit, as I am also lactose intolerant. (the author assumes many will also have a wheat allergy, not sure why, but ignores the possibility of lactose intolerance, which our forums have concluded are very common together) I didn't want a recipe book, but the bulk of this "book" is just that. :(

Good intentions, but the book is sadly quite basic.If you have food intolerances, try finding an MSN Forum for them first before buying anything.Real people interacting with you daily can provide the real information this author was trying to give.

Review of Sugarettes (Paperback)

I like to read motivational books on eating healthy and was lucky enough to get this book.Dr. Olson's style of writing kept me captive as I sat and drank my coffee (with sugar.)After finishing the book instead of feeling guilty about eating sugar, I find I'm more "aware" of when I consume it.I think Dr. Olson is surely on to something when he writes about the fact that there are no "real" or "official" studies that link sugar to obesity or diabetes...similar to smoking vs. cancer (in the 50's and 60's.)

Having a grandmother who had diabetes and required insulin shots every day, I never knew what it was actually doing for her.This book cleared that up for me and explained it in such a way I actually understood without having to re-read that chapter again...meaning it was written with language I (and most non-scientists) could understand.

I'm glad I read this...and it sticks in the back of my mind when my grocery cart starts gravitating toward high-glycemic foods in the store. Great motivation for anyone who is trying to eat a more healthy diet.

Product Description
Can sugar really be as addictive as cigarettes? Sugarettes, by Dr. Scott Olson ND, explores our obsession with sugar and its resulting health consequences. The average person eats an astonishing half-pound of sugar a day. For many of us, we don't eat that much sugar because we want to, but because we have to—much like any other addict. While the taste might be sweet to the tongue, the effects of this sugary compulsion are not. Sugar addiction is a contributing factor to the worldwide epidemic of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity and other health problems. With such a tempting enemy, is it any wonder we are losing the health wars? Dr. Scott's Sugarettes forces us to look at our sugar addiction and what consequences it has for our health. It details specific and actionable steps every individual can take to master their diets and take control of their addictive relationship with sugar, empowering consumers with the tools to change their lives and their heath.

Review of Shopper's Guide to Healthy Living (Paperback)

This book does such a great job of tackling the seemingly overwhelming task of cleaning up what we take into our bodies by offering phases of what to eliminate from our diet as well as the rest of our lives. The author also gives a great deal of information on why we shouldn't ingest certain things, but at the same time seems pretty laid back and even gives a FANTASTIC chocolate chip cookie recipe that my family devours in one afternoon. And by the way, this recipe isn't healthy which is why I love this book. This author understands that we all need an occasional naughty sweet fix. Thumbs up to this one! I would like to get a hold of the author's cookbook!
