About the Book

Today, supermarkets and natural food stores feature a bewildering variety of sugars and alternative sweeteners. The deluge of conflicting information doesn't help. If choosing a sweetener leaves you scratching your head, this handy guide will answer all of your questions-even the ones you didn't know to ask:

  • Which sweeteners perform well in baking?
  • Will the kids notice if I sub in stevia?
  • What's the best pick if I'm watching my waistline, blood sugar, or environmental impact?
  • Are any of them really superfoods . . . or toxic?
Perfect for foodies, bakers, carb counters, parents, chefs, and clinicians, this delightfully readable book features more than 180 alphabetical entries on natural and artificial sweeteners, including the usual suspects (table sugar, honey), the controversial (aspartame, high-fructose corn syrup), the hyped (coconut sugar, monk fruit sweetener), and the unfamiliar (Chinese rock sugar, isomaltulose). You'll also find myth-busting Q&As, intriguing trivia, side-by-side comparisons of how sweeteners perform in classic baked goods, and info on food-additive regulations, dental health, the glycemic index, and more. Your sweet tooth is in for a real education!

Review :
"The very first compendium of the sweet substances we typically eat and what happens once they’re in our body. The authors’ academic experience as diabetes specialists couldn’t be more timely." "Recommended. All academic audiences; culinary program students; nutritionists; general readers." "Makes sense of the growing number of sugars and sweeteners appearing in our food supply both as products on supermarket shelves or ingredients added to manufactured foods." "This book will be your first port of call whenever you need immediate access to information on sugars and sweeteners." "Whether you’re a healthcare provider, a chef, or simply a foodie, you’ll find The Ultimate Guide to Sugars and Sweeteners an accurate and complete resource." "In a world awash with nutritional dogma that’s loosely attached (if at all) to scientific facts, The Ultimate Guide to Sugars and Sweeteners provides sensible and truthful perspective. If you’re struggling to make sense of sugars, sweeteners, and health, this book belongs at the top of your reading list." "An honest, comprehensive book based on facts, for those who want to see the meeting of history, science, and common sense. It covers every sweetener you have heard of, plus many you may never encounter. One of the few books that put sugar and sweetness in context so you can make a wise judgment."
