This book explores human energy metabolism and how this is affected negatively by refined sugars and positively by honey. It shows the central importance of the little-known enzyme glutamine synthetase and how this is degraded by refined sugars, a key factor in memory loss, dementia and neurocognitive problems in the young and old and in utero.
