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 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. 606 $aNonfiction$2OverDrive 606 $aChemistry$2OverDrive 606 $aHealth & Fitness$2OverDrive 606 $aScience$2OverDrive 615 17$aNonfiction. 615 7$aChemistry. 615 7$aHealth & Fitness. 615 7$aScience. 686 $aBUS070120$aHEA017000$aSCI013000$2bisacsh 700 $aTaubes$b Gary$0848402 701 $aTaubes$b Gary$0848402 701 $aChamberlain$b Mike$01746612 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910150473903321 996 $aThe Case Against Sugar$94178210 997 $aUNINA
