Listen to episode 197:
"I finally feel like I have power over sugar": Acquanda
October 20, 2024
Acquanda grew up eating what she calls "semi-healthy foods", like flavoured yogurts.
Then when she moved close to her sister, who's a great cook and dessert maker, Aquanda started eating sweets more often... and craving them!
That's when she realized that she had a problem with sugar. She felt powerless.
Acquanda was doing research on African American women in the southern states who are breastfeeding. That's when she noticed that packaged and fast foods were everywhere. The food options at the grocery store were limited, and this affected health outcomes.
She calls this unequal access to whole foods "food apartheid".
In this episode, Acquanda tells what she did to get her personal power back over sugar... and how YOU can too!
