Sweetener Trap and How to Avoid it: The Power and Politics of Sweeteners and Their Impact on Your Health

With this revised and expanded update of the 1982 classic ‘The Sugar Trap’, Beatrice Trum Hunter, noted writer on food issues, brings us invaluable help for avoiding the sweetener trap. She exposes facts about today’s many sweeteners - from aspartame to stevia, sucralose and xylitol. With careful research and well-weighed advice, Hunter tells why you should limit all added sugars. With awareness, you can do it, despite misleading labeling, sly marketing tactics and vague federal recommendations for sweetener intake that reflect research bias and strong pressures from sweetener interests.
