American Heart Association Low-Fat & Luscios Desserts
Great recipes, loved all that I have tried thus far.I have several cookbooks by AHA, and love them all.

Low fat desserts
This book has great info. The desserts are fabulous and I got an A on my Culinary school Final with one of these desserts!!!

sugar - sugar - sugar
The AHA is another industry vested joke. This book is full of processed sugar, white flour, light/lite this and that (meaning a sugar substitute usually containing aspertame or saccharin is used) and other low fat bastardized poisons. When will the public wake up to this huge cholesterol/low fat/statin drug/heart disease farse. Do some honest research, discover the facts and forget this dogma.

On the other hand...use this book, eat what is recommended, and you'll have so many problems you will not notice any one in particular. I'm sure the junk in the book tastes just fine.
