Jill Escher is author of the book, “Farewell, Club Perma-Chub: A Sugar Addict’s Guide to Easy Weight Loss.” She’s also the coordinator of SAAD (Sugar Addiction Awareness Day).
The goal of SAAD is to spread the word about this widespread but largely unrecognized disorder, which is sugar addiction. Check out this short video interview with Jill…
“Refined sugar, the addictive cycle it creates, and diseases of high blood sugar are now so commonplace we’re blinded to the strangeness of it all,” says Jill. “But the day we take Sugar Addiction seriously is the day we finally begin to turn the obesity and diabetes epidemics around.”
