The South - Dying for Sweet Tea and the Southern Cuisine

The South - Dying for Sweet Tea and the Southern Cuisine

It’s about more than sweet tea. Diabetes, pre-diabetes, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and sugar addiction are diseases that affect more of us than we care to admit. Long has the knowledge behind these afflictions gone ignored and been swept under the figurative rug. This book plunges into all of these diseases, possible causes, a few healthy alternatives, and more. Readers who have not followed statistics on Southern health and Black health may be surprised, as knowledge is the best medicine to understand how the food industry has manipulated us into thinking what we eat in the South is the best in the US. 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.
