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. 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.

平裝版的封麵明明那麼好看!
評分一本糖的進化史。理論背景很豐富,寫得卻像是一本小說。如果你還不知道糖的危害,值得一讀。如果你有相關的研究,那就隨便讀讀吧。Sweeping theories, but only partially credible.
評分和類似的其他書一樣,就是把一篇論文的內容寫成瞭一本書。前麵一半還不錯。後麵一半囉嗦得很。很多地方證據不夠嚴密,不過糖多吃不好肯定是正確無比的。作者貌似是Michale Pollan的粉絲,寫得沒有Pollan的好。

評分總之不要吃糖就對瞭
