I Quit Sugar
By Sarah Wilson
We all hear that processed sugar is bad for us but how do we give it up entirely and is it really possible? I picked this book up not because I was in the quest to “quit” sugar forever but I was interested in how I might reduce my sugar intake overall. I rarely eat processed sugar but I was still intrigued with this author’s experiment turned way-of-life journey. This is a well -written book. Ms. Wilson is a qualified health coach with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York. What I love the most are the 108 recipes that offer creative, delicious food without missing sugar!! Pretty foodie photos too!

The China Study
By T. Collin Campbell, PhD and
Thomas, M. Campbell II, MD
According to Dr. Dean Ornish, MD, “Everyone in the field of nutrition science stands on the shoulders of Dr. Campbell, who is one of the giants in the field. This is one of the most important books about nutrition ever written-reading it may save your life.”
It’s pretty hard to top that but the reason I love this book is because it presents real life-saving information regarding diet. This is a totally readable book detailing the studies done by the author and his son that reveal solid information regarding the relationship between diet and disease. While dispelling many health myths and the misinformation we get from various sources, I feel this book tells us how it is. Why call it the China study? Read this book and be prepared to be surprised!
