ABOUT THE BOOK

Sugar does not only cause overweight and diabetes but also malnutrion. Six out of ten Danish children eat more sugar than recommended, every fourth 15-year-old is overweight. The intake of sugar means that the intake of important nutrients become too low, but fortunately it does not take too many changes or sacrifices to lead a sugar-sensible family life - it simply takes knowledge, the right tools and a healthy portion of reflection.

The book is a mixture of knowledge, anecdotes and personal cases. The Sugar Sheriff does not say NO to sugar. Sugar is okay, just not in the amounts that we are used to. Stay away from ice cream, soda and cake from Monday to Friday, but by all means do enjoy it during the weekends. The Sugar Sheriff simply recommends a 5+2-system: five days without and two days with sugar.
