ISBN: 9781524709051.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\n\nAmong 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113396428853,"sku":"ByrdShop_1524709050","price":226.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781524709051_5e9836df-40bd-44bb-8b31-47743f989240.jpg?v=1776451826","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-case-against-sugar-9781524709051","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
