Little did I realize that by helping Connie to confront her sugar habit that she would turn around and help countless others to conquer their sugar problems, too.

Yes, it is sugar and fat and junk food and toxins, and too much of this and too much of that. But what it really is, is the world of advertising. How hard it is to turn back the clock 150 years and eat wholesome natural food. It is the entire picture, the whole diet [that needs to be changed] — it is the need to have organic food produced massively and less expensively, and available to all. It is not a simple sugar shock, but a gratification shock. See that newborn — he will be pampered and petted and given whatever goodies he wants, and he will spend the rest of his life trying to achieve a natural, wholesome lifestyle. Let’s do it in the beginning, at the start of life. Let’s educate ourselves.
