Traveling with Sugar reframes the rising diabetes epidemic as part of a 500-year-old global history of sweetness and power. Amid eerie injuries, changing bodies, amputated limbs, and untimely deaths, many people across the Caribbean and Central America simply call the affliction "sugar" - or, as some say in Belize, "traveling with sugar". A decade in the making, this audiobook unfolds as a series of cronicas - a word meaning both slow-moving story and slow-moving disease.

A hidden truth
Revisado: 09-19-21
This is a heartbreaking and very present day chronicle of colonialism, slavery plantations and the effects of modern “civilization” on perceived lesser countries. The continuing damage of our sugar culture and careless use of chemicals on Belize leaves me horrified. Thank you Dr Moran-Thomas for being hung this reality to light.
