Vinyl,
Because I eventually gave up sugar 20 years ago, ....and went back to it eventually; I gave it up at the same time I became a non drinker.

Reviewing my old used copy of Sugar Blues jogged my memory on why I'd given it up originally !?!

BTW, .....really enjoyed the reviews on Amazon.

One parrallel I found interesting with AVRT is how he draws out a sort of (if only historical) moral imperative for the reader. (well, imho he does, anyway)

once you've made your Big Plan, and are willing to read ingredient labels; .....it should be easy sailing .

Be prepared to up your fresh fruit consumption.

Hope you'll give that book a try. Easy, enjoyable, and entertaining read.

On a side note, my nephew sent me the vid of the latest 60 Minutes piece on several "new studies" on the dangers of sugar.

All I could think about was part of a Dave Chapelle stand-up routine when he jokes about a 1990's goundbreaking piece in Time Magazine explaining to "white folks"......<in his most provincial white guy voice> about long practiced police brutality in the Black Community.

"Uh, Marge; ......apparently the police have been beating up Negroes like hot cakes !?!
It's right here in the April edition"
