Excerpt from End Your Addiction Now
Here is the write up from the publisher about the book:
Whether it is to alcohol, drugs, smoking, or food, addiction is an overwhelming and destructive force that negatively impacts the lives of those in its grip. While there are programs galore that promise an end to these dependencies, the truth is, far too many “reformed” addicts fall right back into their old habits.

Sugar Addiction Could Be Destroying Your Health
By Dr. CE Gant
When it comes to carbohydrates, Americans have been misled, especially by our healthcare system.
First and foremost, sugar and carbohydrates are highly addictive. Our per capita consumption of more than 100 pounds of refined sugar annually certainly attests to that, and a basic understanding of how our bodies process sugar at the biomolecular level reinforces the validity of the addiction model.
Second, carboholism, or sugar addiction, is a direct cause of diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, depression, and a long list of medical, dental, and psychiatric conditions.
As long as the healthcare system ignores the fundamental biochemical causes of hypoglycemia, Type II Diabetes, eating disorders, and obesity, healthcare consumers will continue to suffer unnecessarily. They will continue to be treated with palliative and profitable medications, which merely cover up symptoms of carboholism and fail to get to the root of the problem.
Add to this the fact that our healthcare system, by in many cases willfully ignoring this addiction has instead invented other fictitious “causes” of the many conditions carboholism creates, and you’ve got a perfect storm that results in a significant portion of our population’s suffering from disorders that all could be wiped out in a very short time, and without the use of drugs.
