And sugar is at the root of these  and other critical society-wide, health-related problems. With a combination of science and straight talk, Gary Taubes delves into Americans' history with sugar: its uses as a preservative, as an additive in cigarettes, the contemporary overuse of high-fructose corn syrup. He explains what research has shown about our addiction to sweets. He clarifies the arguments against sugar, corrects misconceptions about the relationship between sugar and weight loss; and provides the perspective necessary to make informed decisions about sugar as individuals and as a society 0aSugar-free dietvCase studies 0aSugarxPhysiological effectvPopular works 0aNutritionally induced diseasesvPopular works 7aHEALTH & FITNESS / Nutrition.2bisacsh 7aSCIENCE / Chemistry / General.2bisacsh 7aNutritionally induced diseases.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01042325 7aSugar-free diet.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01137476 7aSugarxPhysiological effect.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01137304 4aSugar-free dietvCase studies 4aSCIENCE / Chemistry / General 4aHEALTH & FITNESS / Nutrition 7aCase studies.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01423765 7aPopular works.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01423846
