Sugar Blues: Insightful Reading on the Dangers of Added Sugar

July 30, 2024

Sugar Blues is a book written by William Dufty (1916-2002).  It’s been called a life-changing classic. The book was released in 1975 and became a commercial success. The author argues that sugar is an unnatural, addictive drug that is harmful and damaging to human health.

Dufty was married to the late silent film star Gloria Swanson, a health crusading vegetarian and non-smoker.  She and Dufty went on tour promoting Sugar Blues during the late 1970s.

Sugar is added to most packaged food.  It is difficult to avoid, hard to resist, and adds unwanted calories to our diets.

If you’re having trouble losing weight, and you can’t stop eating foods containing added sugar, get yourself a copy of Sugar Blues, and see what you think. The book is sold on Amazon and has 5-star reviews.
