About the Author

Janet was born in New England on August 25, 1933. Her formal education spanned kindergarten to senior year in high school. She didn't get a class ring. First, because she couldn't afford one, and second, because she left school before the year was over.

Her appearance? People refer to her as "The lady with the fuzzy red hair and all the purple rings."

At the insistence of her youngest daughter, she earned her GED in 1998 at the age of 65. Janet's never qualified for letters after her name from any institution, so, she made up her own. C for cleaning person, P for poetry writer, S for singer, D for drawing, M for mother, another D for decorator, V for Vitamin store owner, T for thinker, F for friend, and W for whatever.

That's who Janet Barré is, C.P.S.D.M.D.V.T.F.W.

She began her family at age 18. After much searching, she found a faith that satisfied her spiritual curiosity. Along with caring for her home and children, the ministry became an integral part of her life.

In her thirties, she came to understand that hypoglycemia was at the root of her health problems. She became involved in the health food industry and now owns and operates a health food store in Newington, Connecticut.

In her sixties, Janet's youngest daughter nagged her to write a book. She would say, "You love to write; why don't you write a book?" Looking back over the traumatic events of her life, Janet knew she had something to say. Although it certainly incorporated these issues, "You Better Not Cry" is not just an exposé or a story of survival. Janet had an extended agenda: to increase society's awareness of the connection between sugar, alcohol, and drug abuse and the resulting mental, physical, and emotional devastation.

For the past forty-five years, she's been involved in intensive research concerning the application of nutritional solutions to the aforementioned problems. The recollections of her childhood coupled with her acquired knowledge, has intensified her focus.

Does Janet believe there was more amiss with her family than the abuse of sugar and alcohol? Of course. However, Janet has learned from personal experience and her dealings with others that these substances definitely produce a chemical imbalance that exacerbates already existing problems. We are what we eat!

Janet's evidence is further supported by the thousands of people she's personally helped over the years by sharing her information.
