My guests include Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman, author of "Get the Sugar Out"; Dr. Elizabeth Abbott, author of "Sugar: A Bittersweet History"; Dr. Larry McCleary, author of "The Brain Trust Program"; Dr. Scott Olson, author of "Sugarettes" (and co-coordinator of this Great Worldwide Sugar-Out Challenge); Dr. Hyla Cass, author of "8 Weeks to Vibrant Health"; Dr. Woodson Merrell, author of "The Source: Unleash Your Natural Energy, Power Up Your Health, and Feel 10 Years Younger"; Dr. Peter Gott, author of "Dr. Gott\'s No Flour, No Sugar Diet"; popular blogger Jimmy Moore, who lost 180 pounds kicking sugar; recovered sugar addict Amanda Lerner, who reads her amazing "Dear Sugar" letter (a touching "Dear John" type letter); author and sugar addict-on-the-mend Susan Shapiro ("Five Men Who Broke My Heart" and the upcoming book, "Speed Shrinking"), and Amy Kalafa, co-founder of "Two Angry Moms," which seeks to get better food served to kids in schools. See additional interviews added afterwards as well with Susan Linn, Dr. Fred Pescatore and MeMe Roth. Please note that this segment is being edited.
