Written in a warm, accessible style, this paperback combines nutrition science with realistic, everyday strategies, making it an ideal companion for anyone ready to cut down on sugar without feeling deprived..

In Oh Sugar!, Katherine Bassford tackles this head-on, guiding readers through the science of sugar addiction, the marketing tricks that disguise sweeteners in "healthy" foods, and the health risks linked to excessive sugar intake, including weight gain and type 2 diabetes.
