The South - Dying for Sweet Tea and the Southern Cuisine - Hardcover

The South is the most unhealthy region in the United States. Diabetes, pre-diabetes, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and sugar addiction are diseases that affect the South in greater numbers than Southerners realize. This book plunges into all of these diseases and their possible causes, offering some healthy alternatives, and more. It's about more than sweet tea; it's about the cavalier attitudes of Southerners who will not associate poor health with fried food, salty food, sugar-laden drinks, and lack of exercise.
