Sugar Nation: It isn't so sweet
Jeff O’Connell’s book Sugar Nation is a dumb down version of many better texts on the market dealing with America’s cravings for carbohydrates. The author appears to have achieved mediocrity in a presentation that is well beyond his grasp. Mr. O’Connell treats diabetes as though it is the personal fault of anyone who has acquired the disease in adulthood. Simplifying the complex is not one of the author’s strong points. Any internet search on this topic would establish that his statistics cry out to be challenged. In a recent interview on the radio program Coast to Coast, Mr.
