This book is, to the best of my knowledge, accurate and based on two years of research into biochemistry, nutrition, medicine, and corporate reports. This book includes URLs that may expire over time due to the natural repopulation and elimination of Web pages that occurs on the Internet. Future editions will provide new links when necessary. Not a single link in this book was paid for. All fructose levels are provided courtesy the United States Department of Agriculture and are free and available to the public on their Web site.

I have personally altered my diet in the ways outlined in this book. Eliminating fructose from your diet cannot cause you harm. Glucose and dietary fiber are essential for good health, so be sure to get both. If you're tired, eat more foods with glucose. If you're constipated, eat more dietary fiber. As with any change in diet, make sure you balance your meals to get all your vitamins. Losing weight can be dangerous for people on medications or habitual illicit drug users, as the change in body weight requires a change in dosages. See your doctor at each 25lbs lost so you don't accidentally overdose. This is especially important for type-2 diabetics using insulin and/or pharmaceuticals, as eliminating fructose cures type-2 diabetes negating the need for these measures.

Introduction

Welcome to my book.

You've been had.

Who me?

Yes, you.

Wow. How are you reading my thoughts?

I have mystical powers that can read your thoughts via your fingertips.

Really?

No you dunce! I know what you're thinking because I've had this conversation with dozens and dozens of people before you.

Oh, really? Then what am I thinking right now?

You're wondering: if you were in an auto accident right now, would your underwear pass your mother's oddly passionate checklist of cleanliness and moral acceptability?

Actually, that's not what I was thinking at all, Mr. Smartipants. Of course, now that's what I'm thinking.

Well don't worry. If you were in an auto accident so bad that someone saw your underwear, you'd have shit yourself -- negating the aforementioned checklist. And when you arrive at the hospital, the first thing the nurses are going to do is cut off all your clothes and toss them in the garbage. So it won't matter at all, now will it? Tell your mom I said, "Hi."

Such language!

Deal with it.

All right, vulgar author man -- what did you mean, "I've been had"?
