具体描述
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.

评分 评分我是一个爱吃“糖”系列的人，深深地热爱吃甜品，蛋糕、还有面包，几天不吃就难受。记得10年前在澳大利亚留学的时候，每天早晨都吃白面包配果酱，吃完之后去上学，不到中午就会感觉饿，而且特有眩晕的感觉，不吃东西就抓狂，所以短期内体重暴涨了20斤，而且心情特别差，皮肤也...

和类似的其他书一样，就是把一篇论文的内容写成了一本书。前面一半还不错。后面一半啰嗦得很。很多地方证据不够严密，不过糖多吃不好肯定是正确无比的。作者貌似是Michale Pollan的粉丝，写得没有Pollan的好。
评分一本糖的进化史。理论背景很丰富，写得却像是一本小说。如果你还不知道糖的危害，值得一读。如果你有相关的研究，那就随便读读吧。Sweeping theories, but only partially credible.
