After viewing a lecture by obesity doctor, Robert Lustig, the author decided to experiment with taking a year of no added sugar. The family's project did include exceptions to the no sugar rule but for the most part they hoped to eliminate sugar from their diet for one year. Schaub is a mother and writer who has a real interest in food and cooking. She grew up equating sugary foods with love and enjoyed baking for her friends and family. Lustig's lecture about the hazards of sugar convinced Schaub to make changes.
This is the record of their struggles and successes including anecdotes from the author, her husband, and their daughters.
The book is more story about their experiment year than data about the risks of sugar, but she does include some of that and recommends other authors for more information. It is an interesting book about the Schaub family's year long food adventure.
