"Every human function requires energy, and no organ more so than the brain which accounts for only 2% of body weight but consumes 20% of total body energy production. Without a sufficient energy supply we lose the ability to think clearly, react quickly or make good decisions. In 'Honey Sapiens,' pharmacist Mike McInnes explores human energy metabolism and how this is affected negatively by refined sugars and positively by honey."--Page [4] of cover.

Mike McInnes is a pharmacist and sports nutritionist who has worked with many athletes. After selling his award-winning pharmacy business to the UK's premier pharmacy chain, Boots, in 1997, he began researching the specifics of energy partition and selection in exercise and has continued to research the relationship between sugars and energy, especially for enhancing mental and sports performance, for over 20 years.
