Sugar is lurking in a host of unsuspected places. In this video, Dr. DeRose provides you with a key rule of thumb to help you get the upper hand when it comes to sugar intake.

Day 17's Challenge: Make a concerted effort to avoid added sugars. (Recommendation: only eat refined foods with added sugar if they have at least five times as much “total carbohydrate” as “sugars.”)

Note: If you’re looking for more on this topic, check out Chapter 31 of Dr. DeRose’s book, “The Methuselah Factor.” You can easily purchase a copy at [https://www.amazon.com/Methuselah-Fac...](https://www.amazon.com/Methuselah-Factor-Sharper-Leaner-Better/dp/194273008X). Realize that each of the last 30 chapters of “The Methuselah Factor,” provides complementary day-by-day materials to assist you during the entirety of this thirty-day journey.
