I recently got a message via Facebook from a woman who has been struggling for a long time to withdraw from sugar. Because I gave up – really gave up – sugar 46 years ago, I know how to sustain what might be called sugar sobriety. I offer some of what I learned along the way.

Highlights

• Giving up sugar is a lot more complicated than just not eating sugar.
• Finally, people are realizing that sugar is not healthy.
• In 1973, I saw a documentary on hypoglycemia and knew immediately that was part of my problem.
• I talk about how I found out I had hypoglycemia and the doctor who helped me.
• Most chronic diseases are caused by inflammation. Sugar causes inflammation.
• I mention a number of the symptoms of hypoglycemia as well as how the endocrine system is affected.
• Sugar is harder to give up than heroin.
• You have to make a decision to give up sugar first and then start reading the labels on your food.
• You have to be off sugar, alcohol, and carbohydrates for quite a while before you can sustain the withdrawal.
• I list some of the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.
