Most of us think we already know the story about sugar: it’s the enemy. But what if that story is wrong? What if sugar isn’t the villain it’s been made out to be, but a missing piece in how we understand health and energy?

In this updated version of The Sugar for Therapy Book, DanM@CowsEatGrass takes on decades of fear and confusion about one of the most misunderstood foods out there. Drawing on science, real-world experience, and common sense, he makes the case that ordinary white sugar (long dismissed as “empty calories”) can actually play a supportive role in health, helping with energy, stress, and resilience.

The book is made up of 50 short chapters, each one easy to read and easy to come back to. Inside, Dan breaks down how sugar relates to things like thyroid function, digestion, mood, and immunity—while also explaining why stress, not sugar, is often the real culprit behind fatigue and long-term health problems. He tackles familiar myths like “sugar causes inflammation” or “fat is always healthier” and flips them on their head in plain, straightforward language.

You’ll find practical tips and small experiments you can try for yourself, along with metaphors and stories that make the science simple to follow. There are also examples of how other readers have used these ideas to feel better—sometimes by just letting go of the guilt and confusion around food.

This book is for anyone who’s tired of restricting, second-guessing every bite, or carrying around anxiety about what they eat. It’s for people dealing with stress, low energy, or lingering health issues who are curious about a new way forward—without yet another strict diet.

At its heart, the message is simple: sugar isn’t the problem it’s been made out to be. When used wisely, it can be part of the solution.

Let Sugar Be Thy Medicine, and Medicine Be Thy Sugar.
