How Sugar is Killing Us and What We Can Do to Stop It
With a new introduction by Robert H. Lustig, MD
WHY DO PEOPLEEAT SO MUCH SUGAR?
WHY DO WE KNOW 50 LITTLE ABOUT ITS DANGERS?
HOW STRONG IS THE SCIENTIFIC CASE AGAINST SUGAR?
‘SHOULD IT EVEN BE BANNED ALTOGETHER?
John Yudkin was one of he firstto point outthe
dangers ofsugar when he published the original
edition af Pure, White anc Deodly in 1972. Now, inthis
extensively rewritten and expanded edition, he reveals
the new evidence cboutthe dangers afsugar andits
rustic consequences forourheatth In everyday
language Professor Vudkin explainshow sugar
consumption islinked to diabetes, heart andliver
disease, dental caries and other conditions, He pays
parficulor attention toits effects on young children and
shows how they, ike everyone else, can benefit from
reduced sugor intake, He also examines the role ofthe
sugarindusiry, which has made strenuous efforts to
dismiss the case againstsugar.
Pure, White and Deadly is ashacking indictment ofa
productthetis an everyday (and often invisible) part of
‘ourdist.ttshould be rec by cll who ore concerned
‘with theirownand the nations wellare,
