The Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes
4.0
Eye opening!
Gary wrote another novel, called "Why we get fat". Spoiler alert: carbs/sugar
This book dives into the history of human health and the introduction of sugar into our diet and its effects. Gary discusses compelling evidence that suggests that sugar may be the cause of many of our leading health issues including heart disease, diabetes, altzheimers, and cancer.
He compares the addiction to sugar to the addiction to cigarettes. Yikes.
I'm on a journey to cut sugar and processed foods out of my diet after reading his two books!
I wouldn't say it is an easy listen/read because it is a lot of studies and facts, but it's very informative! Recommend if you are interested in food and healthy lifestyle.
