If you’re into this sort of thing, I think you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. The Case Against Sugar Kindle Edition by Gary Taubes (Author) Format: Kindle Edition 1,317 ratings 3.8 on Goodreads 9,606 ratings Goodreads Choice Award nominee Kindle 7.99 Read with Our Free App Audiobook 0.00 Free with your Audible trial More than half a billion adults and 40 million children on the planet are obese. The book is extremely compelling and well-written. In this book, we take up the case against sugar as the primary suspect for ALL of the chronic diseases that are killing us.Īs the back cover says, Taubes “makes the convincing case that sugar is the tobacco of the new millennium: backed by powerful lobbies, entrenched in our lives, and making us very sick.” We covered one of Taubes’s previous books, Why We Get Fat, in which he challenges the commonly accepted “calories-in, calories-out” model of weight maintenance. (And, his offices must be pretty close to another health journalist based out of UC Berkeley, Michael Pollan, author of Food Rules and In Defense of Food who says this about Taubes: “I can’t think of another journalist who has had quite as profound an influence on the conversation about nutrition.”) He’s a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator in Health Policy Research at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health.
Gary Taubes is an award-winning science journalist.
