[edit] This Entry is Neither Well Written Nor Particularly Neutral
Having read and enjoyed Sugar Blues over 20 years ago, this writer is woefully disappointed at the lack of a neutral point of view, as well as how poorly the article is written. It is hoped that this article can be edited by a literate authority on this book, and its attempt to reveal the effects of a major ingredient in food that is prepared, sold and consumed in Western society. It would be particularly interesting to see an objective review that takes a considered approach in evaluating both the book's verifiable facts on sugar production and consumption, as well as the allegations of conspiracy made against large corporations in the United States. The subject of this article has some definite historic value for its place among nutrition books; however, the article as it is currently written assumes that Sugar Blues, in its entirety, is filled with nothing but absolute and indisputable facts. --BuzzDog (talk) 00:14, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Deserving of Speedy Deletion?
Yes this book certainly does not deserve the speedily deletion tab. It was the best selling health book of the entire 1970's, and as soon as I can find the source, I'll site it. --Eckre (talk) 13:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I took off the "speedy deletion" tag after googling and finding out that the "sugar blues" are apparently for real. It still might not merit an article, but I don't think it's quite speedy-deletion material. Mcsweet
- Fair enough. The creator of the article is going around being insulting and maliciously editing articles at the moment24.48.229.57. If you feel it has merit I'll leave it with you. :) --Randolph 03:48, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Surely it could be merged somewhere? Now I'm not saying it belongs in Sugar, but maybe there's a "Sugar Allergies/Reactions" article somewhere for it? This isn't exactly a naturally-occurring phenomenon, it's an entirely man-made condition (either deliberately or accidentally) so I don't know that it's really a "medical" article. Then again the Bends was also invented by man... but anyway I'm sure you'll find a better home for it than I could... Master Thief Garrett 06:04, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
