Revisiting "Year Of No Sugar" With Eve Schaub On Access Utah Wednesday

eveschaub.com

  On Wednesday’s AU we revisit an episode from June 2014:

 

Do you know where the sugar you eat is coming from? It's in ice cream and cookies, of course, but what scared Eve Schaub was the secret world of sugar—hidden in bacon, crackers, salad dressing, pasta sauce, chicken broth, and baby food.

Schaub challenged her husband and two school-age daughters to join her on a quest to quit sugar for a year. In her memoir “Year of No Sugar” she uncovers the real costs of our sugar-heavy American diet—including diabetes, obesity, and increased incidences of health problems such as heart disease and cancer. She found that it is possible to eat at restaurants and go grocery shopping—with less and even no added sugar.
