À propos de cet audio

 “If you had any doubt as to the food industry’s complicity in our obesity epidemic, it will evaporate when you read this book.”—The Washington Post

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER • In this “propulsively written [and] persuasively argued” (The Boston Globe) exposé, a Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter uncovers an insidious truth: food companies are deliberately sacrificing our health to raise their own profits.

Thirty-eight million Americans have diabetes. One in three adults and one in five kids is clinically obese. Why?

Every year, the average American eats thirty-three pounds of cheese and seventy pounds of sugar. Every day, we ingest 8,500 milligrams of salt, double the recommended amount, almost none of which comes from the shakers on our table. It comes from processed food, an industry that hauls in $2 trillion in annual sales.

In Salt Sugar Fat, Michael Moss shows how we ended up here. Featuring examples from Kraft, Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Frito-Lay, Nestlé, Oreos, Capri Sun, and many more, Moss’s explosive, empowering narrative is grounded in meticulous, eye-opening research. He takes us into labs where scientists calculate the “bliss point” of sugary beverages or enhance the “mouthfeel” of fat by manipulating its chemical structure, unearths marketing techniques taken straight from tobacco company playbooks, and talks to concerned insiders who make startling confessions.

Just as millions of “heavy users” are addicted to salt, sugar, and fat, so too are the companies that peddle them. You will never look at a nutrition label the same way again.

I've read a number of books on food history, nutrition and diet, and this is by far the most riveting. I've listened to it multiple times and it manages to hold my attention and will me with interesting facts to share with friends each time. The narration is fantastic and the dollar value is unmated in my opinion. Easily one of my favorite "reads" of all time.

a fascinating look at the history of consumer foods

excellent performance by the reader.

The insight on Idustry tactics was new to me and quite informative.

But when Mr. Moss starts talking about how saturated fat causes heart disease, or how salt causes high blood pressure, I can't help but feel that he needs to read Nina Teicholz and Gary Taubes.

The theory that sat. fat is deleterious has been proven false many times since Keys first proposed it. Nurses Health Study, Women's Health Initiative, Framingham experiement, Mr. Fit, and many more that were designed to prove Keys right, demonstrated the opposite.

When Mr. Moss talks about beef, I get a sour "plant-based nutrition" agenda taste.

I saw his fritos fire video on YouTube, and find hard to believe that he still talks about calories being the cause of obesity. We now know that it is a hormonal disease, not an energy balance problem.

As for the actual insiders interviews, they truly were captivating.

good. some info is erroneous

This is an Astonishing book. Everything humans should know how food organizations manipulate people into eating processed food. It is a book hat can be referred to over and over.

Well researched and easily digestible. Michael Moss dives deep into the Food Giants and lays out a compelling read. He explains how we have been manipulated to buy processed food products. We learn how addictive foods like sugar, salt and fat are used in food recipes to heighten tastes and our body's additive pathways with little regard for our overall health. He also touches on the marketing and distribution practices. Food Giants rather than making healthy treats, countered medical research with very strategic campaigns to increase their market share and bottom line. They've targeted teens and busy unsuspecting parents. Well worth the read!!
And if listening the narrator does an excellent job !!
