"The morning I watched the YouTube video 'Sugar: the Bitter Truth,' my brain caught fire"--Eve Schaub. The author challenged her family to join her on a quest to eat no added sugar for an entire year. Along the way, she uncovered the real costs of our sugar-heavy American diet-- including diabetes, obesity, and other health problems. Here is what "kicking the sugar addiction" looks like for a real American family. Eve Schaub lives with her family in Vermont and enjoys performing experiments on them so she can write about it.
