From Barnes & Noble

If you are an average American, you are ingesting about 100 pounds of sugar a year. Most of us know that our national sweet tooth isn't enhancing our lives; it's robbing us of our health, our concentration, and, paradoxically, our energy. But, as any sugar addict can tell you, "just saying no" isn't usually a viable option. To free readers from their sweet slavery, Dr. Desmaisons recommends a seven-step reclamation program, including her now-famous serotonin-boosting potatoes.
