Welcome to Friday Fun.
As those of us on the East Coast are braving the snow — or staying indoors to stay away from it — I invite you to enjoy this amazing video from the super talented bicyclist Danny MacAskill. You’ll be wowed!
Thanks to Nightline for turning me onto this.
Often, I receive emails from readers of my book SUGAR SHOCK! Whenever I do, I’m so touched and honored that I’ve been able to help people from around the country and world.
Here’s a comment I received tonight from Ben in Massachusetts:
“Sugar Shock! changed my life. I [finally] got off sugar. For the first time in my life, I only eat non processed foods and no sugar. I feel calm all the time and [I’m] constantly energized. I feel great. It’s easier to concentrate and exercise as well. …God bless you.”
Ben then asked a few questions, which I’m answering soon in a Frequently Asked Questions project that I’m completing.
What would you like to know about sugar’s dangers, quitting sugar or carbs? Please post your questions here.
Have you lost weight or overcome another health problem by completely kicking or cutting back on sugar, refined carbs and other high-glycemic foods?
Kicking those “culprit carbs” (what I call them) is one of the most effective ways to lose weight and overcome a variety of health challenges, as thousands of people — whom I call “Sugar Kickers” — have been telling me for years.
If you’re a Kick-Sugar Success Story — whether you lost weight, got more energy, improved your moods or got your diabetes under control — I want to tell your tale here!
By sharing your story, you’ll be able to inspire, motivate, and encourage others.
Read some motivational Kick-Sugar Success Stories we’ve told so far:
* Fellow blogger Jimmy Moore, who I interviewed yesterday on my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show.
* Jaime Jackson
* Felicia DesRosiers
* Karly Pitman
Food can be so healing. It can help you shed off pounds and more healthy.
Just ask low-carb blogger Jimmy Moore, who was able to peel off 180 pounds by selecting better foods, and acclaimed integrative expert Dr. Ronald Hoffman, who regularly helps patients to boost their moods and reverse various illnesses just by eating better.
Learn how to Eat Your Way to Health & Weight Loss tomorrow, Wednesday, at 2 pm EST, with both Jimmy and Dr. Hoffman, who are appearing on my Gab With the Gurus radio show. More info coming later when I feel better. (Snapped my jaw and am recovering).
Are you trying to cut back on sugar? If so, a reporter wants to talk to you.

Contact me privately, and I’ll put you in touch with the reporter.

More and more these days, we hear about medical studies, which point to the massive dangers — sometimes potentially deadly — of consuming empty-calorie, sugar-filled soft drinks.
Yet another new medical study now points to excess sugar as the likely reason for potentially deadly pancreatic cancer.
This study — published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention — found, upon studying 60,524 Chinese adults, that those who drank at least two sugary sodas a week had an increased risk of developing cancer of the pancreas, as Yahoo News reports.
This study was the first time researchers studied Asians to learn how soda and juice may play a role in developing pancreatic cancer. It make sense to look at Asians, because they are increasingly adopting Western-like, processed-filled diets and sedentary lifestyles. Previous studies examined Europeans or Americans.
As for the new study, researchers believe the sweet stuff is to blame for the pancreatic cancer.
