Among Americans, diabetes is more prevalent today than ever; obesity is at epidemic proportions; nearly 10% of children are thought to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. 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 Sugar-free diet Case studies Sugar Physiological effect Popular works Nutritionally induced diseases Popular works HEALTH & FITNESS / Nutrition. bisacsh SCIENCE / Chemistry / General. bisacsh Nutritionally induced diseases. fast (OCoLC)fst01042325 Sugar-free diet. fast (OCoLC)fst01137476 Sugar Physiological effect. fast (OCoLC)fst01137304 Sugar-free diet Case studies SCIENCE / Chemistry / General HEALTH & FITNESS / Nutrition Case studies. fast (OCoLC)fst01423765 Popular works. fast (OCoLC)fst01423846 .b146801519 ddc BOOK ddc 0 0 ABELJ abelj NF 2017-02-07 26.95 2 613.283 TAUB 36436 2017-06-13 2017-04-12 2017-02-07 BOOK
