Story
For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number.

Story
In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control. To help us lose weight and recover our health, Robert Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation.

Based on 20 years of investigative reporting and interviews with 100 practicing physicians who embrace the keto lifetstyle as the best prescription for their patients' health, Taubes' book puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we've come to think about obesity and diet (no, people do not become fat simply because they eat too much; hormones play the critical role) and uses the collected clinical experience of the medical community to provide essential practical advice.

Welcome to the age of behavioral addiction - an age in which half of the American population is addicted to at least one behavior. We obsess over our emails, Instagram likes, and Facebook feeds; we binge on TV episodes and YouTube videos; we work longer hours each year; and we spend an average of three hours each day using our smartphones. Half of us would rather suffer a broken bone than a broken phone, and Millennial kids spend so much time in front of screens that they struggle to interact with real, live humans.

Written by: Michael Moss
Publisher's Summary
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.

I've drunk the sugar free Kool-Aid
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.

History lesson on sugar
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

A must read!
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.

As a physician I'm am sickened that I've been giving my patients bogus and harmful nutritional advice for the past 40 YEARS.
I personally have been sugar/carb free for several months and have become a true believer, especially after reading the science presented in this book.

Will never eat sugar again
Really not much more to say. The book doesn't explain so much about the science of the dangers of sugar as it reviews the history and scientific treatment of sugar. But in many ways that is scarier than knowing all about the different effects sugar has on the body. However, you will get a good understanding of the biggest biochemical issues as well.
This book is even more interesting if you also read (listen to):

Fails to deliver concrete, practical advice
The book includes a tediously detailed history on the research of sugar and its impact on health, but fails to provide any practical guidance on what we should do about this. For example, should we limit consumption of fruits? (or any naturally occurring sugars), carbs in general? (bread, pasta, potatoes...). Are artificial sweeteners a good alternative? How much sugar is it safe to consume? (and no, "zero sugar" is not a realistic option). Is honey okay? Are sweet potatoes okay?

This book should be required reading for everyone.
In my mind the case is closed. Sugar is the devil! Gary taubes provides a convincing argument against sugar. Sugar seems to be the real cause for all the Western diseases that cause mankind to suffer. High blood pressure, heart attacks, Altzheimer's, and Cancer all seem to be caused by sugar consumption. What an absolutely fascinating book!

Sugar: Guilty as charged!
For all of my life I have believed what the powers-that-be tell us about nutrition. Carbs are good and Fat is bad. After reading this book as well as Mr Taubes' previous title, Good Calories Bad Calories, my thinking has been turned completely around. This book offers sound scientific backup for everything it claims. I am now seriously concerned for our society as we constantly eat and drink sugar. we as a society are also heavier and a lot sicker because of it.

If you're tired of being force fed sugar
This book changed my life. If you're tired of being force fed sugar by the processed food industry, you owe it to yourself to read this one.
We all know that sugar is ubiquitous in our food supply. It's in just about everything.
Turns out we have been wrong all along. It's in literally everything, including cigarettes!

Found guilty
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, to try to help them understand the danger of sugar.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Case Against Sugar?
The part that focused on the Pima indians was the strongest point of this book and really showed the deadly effects sugar has on health.
Which character – as performed by Mike Chamberlain – was your favorite?
N/A
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The sweet taste of death.
Any additional comments?
This book makes it clear that although it's pretty much impossible to prove that sugar is the cause of most of our ills in society, it is most definitely the prime suspect who, if not for a few charismatic champions and reckless government policies, would have been found guilty long ago.

Guilty as charge. Gripping and totally absorbing
I can't see how sugar can go free unless the judge is bought. Everyone needs to hear this book. Taubes has created a masterful case that if history is repeated will be attacked by doctors in the employ of big sugar, big Pharma and big agro. Don't let them get away with this.
