As a journalist, an investigator, a scientist, and an advocate, he is without peer. "Taubes’s writing is both inflammatory and copiously researched. In making the case against sugar, Gary Taubes details the often insidious efforts by the sugar industry to hide how harmful it is, just as the tobacco companies once did.

He once again presents a compelling argument that will challenge our knowledge about the connection between food and health—it’s a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the impact of the ingredients
From the best-selling author of Why We Get Fat, a groundbreaking, eye-opening exposé that 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.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. 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.. And sugar is at the root of these, and other, critical society-wide, health-related problems. He explains what research has shown about our addiction to sweets. With his signature command of both science and straight talk, Gary Taubes delves into Amer
Jimmy Moore from Livin' La Vida Low-Carb said Taubes Delivers Shot Across The Bow Challenging Big Sugar With Facts And History. If an investigative journalist could choose any other career to use their talents and gifts, then it would most likely be that of an attorney. They possess the natural skills for digging deeply into arguments and making compelling statements for the prosecution. That's precisely what New York Times bestselling author and science writer Gary Taubes has done in his soon-to-classic book The Case Against Sugar. This book has been sorely needed for many years and Taubes is the perfect author to articulate what needs to be shared as only he can.For fans of Taubes who have read his two previous nutritional health cla.

I . Not nowI'm reading said Sugar is as bad as tobacco. This book is not an actual diet/nutrition book. It is more of a historical/political book. I enjoyed reading it and I was surprised, (well, not that surprised) to see how hard the sugar industry works to promote a product that has probable damaging health aspects.This book also talks about the criticisms of sugar that have been around for decades, centuries, and longer.
