- Synopsis
- Why do we have room for dessert even when we're full? Why do Americans, unlike the French, feel guilty over such indulgences? Is sugar addicting? What is the difference between non-tasters and super-tasters? A New York-based writer/editor (who looks too thin in her jacket photo to have a sweet tooth) explores our love-hate affair with naturally- and artificially-sweetened foods. She incorporates a credible blend of scientific, historical, cultural, lifestyle, socioeconomic, and marketing "ingredients. " Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
