The Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes

squeegee's review

informative slow-paced

2.0

The history chapters were interesting, the best part of the book. The arguments about sugar causing a long list of diseases became increasingly far-fetched and the ending call to action was weak. The second half also became extremely repetitive and felt like every sentence was designed to be a pull quote instead of part of a comprehensive argument. I was left feeling that nothing in nutrition research can ever be conclusive and that this author’s pet theory may or may not be true, but we can never know.
