À propos de cet audio

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 percent 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 his signature command of both 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[Taubes] helps us understand how to make better decisions regarding sugar as individuals and as a nation." ( Library Journal)
"The obesity epidemic is an ever-growing threat to the overall health of our nation. 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. This is required reading for not only every parent, but every American." (Katie Couric)
"This deeply researched, well-reasoned exploration of the history and biology of sugar would convince any supreme court of nutrition that it is sugar, not fat, that should be indicted and limited. Doctors, scientists, policymakers, and concerned eaters would do well to heed Gary Taubes's advice." (Mark Hyman, M.D., author of The Blood Sugar Solution)

Lots of good information but almost overwhelming.
Unfortunately the book reads like a CBC news report. I found myself loosing interest after 1/2 of listening. So I had to break it up.

Very informative

I was looking for a ketogenic diet centric book when I found ‘the case against sugar’ and I am glad I did. The book is a thorough study in the history of sugar and how it affects us now. In my humble opinion this book should be a part of high school curriculum. #Audible1

History lesson on sugar

Was always interested in understanding more of the history of the diet and there is considerable overlap with why Atkins diets, low garb diet, low sugar diets, and other extreme diets faired better than The conventional North American / Western diet.

Also, considerable overlap with what others have stated ie Dr Pradip Jamnadas, Dr Jason Fung and what others continue to advocate for online.

A must read!

Compelling, give it a "read". Some very decent facts. So yeah. Yeah. Words. Words. Words.

Loved everything about this book. Educational, yet not stale and boring. Began with this authors book on Keto, which I also found uniquely useful. Will be listening to this author again. Thanks♡

LOVED IT!

I very much enjoyed this book. The way the history of sugar from the social, political and business perspectives was laid out, as well as the pit-falls of the scientific method used to evaluate it were surprising. I like the way the author thinks, he's skeptical, and articulates his arguments clearly. Ive learned a lot from. This book. Things I sort of already knew but it will certainly change my lifestyle.

I've drunk the sugar free Kool-Aid

I had to abandon this one after 2 hours. The narrator is awful. I saw that mentioned in other reviews and should have listened. Terrible. So bad that it overshadowed the content of the audiobook

So boring

Stopped listening after about 3 hours... was looking for a more practical guide to reducing sugar. This is a thorough history of sugar.

tl;dr

If there is a version without the many, many references, would be a more enjoyable listen.

excellent
