Amy Zulpa has written a number of books that are focused on healthy foods, but one of the options that she really loves is the smoothie. It is versatile, can work as a complete meal or as a filler until the next meal, and can taste really great if it is prepared properly. It was Amy's mother who introduced her to smoothies. In fact, she gave smoothies to Amy and her siblings to ensure that they got the necessary nutrients that make all the difference in growing healthy, energetic children. This book is her way of paying it forward.

The excess consumption is so large that some are calling for sugar to be labeled a controlled substance, limiting intake to 31 pounds per year. There is a link between sugar intake and diabetes. Officials estimate that one in three people will have diabetes by the year 2050.

Most Americans have programmed their taste buds to crave sugar from their first bottle of milk. Milk contains lactose that is sugar. So we can see how easy it is to develop a sugar addiction.

Pizza is a favorite. If it’s not take-out, we often see the
