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.
GARY TAUBES is the author of Why We Get Fat and Good Calories, Bad Calories. He is a former staff writer for Discover and a correspondent for the journal Science. His writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, and Esquire, and has been included in numerous “Best of” anthologies, including The Best of the Best American Science Writing (2010). He has received three Science in Society Journalism Awards from the National Association of Science Writers. He is the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research and a co-founder of the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI). He lives in Oakland, California.
说实话,看这本书的时候,我经常是一边吃着高碳水化合物,诸如蛋糕之类的,以及真正的糖——糖果,一边仔细拜读这本学术性很强的读本。一边看一边心惊,然而却放不下手里的糖,舍不掉嘴里的甜。这,应该就是所谓的糖瘾,看着平淡无奇,不似毒瘾般触目惊心,然而,其小绵羊的外...
评分一本讲述糖的发展历史以及致病性和上瘾性的科普读物,其中印象最深刻的是关于糖和脂肪的内容,打破我一直以来的认知构成。受健身界流行说法的影响,即能量守恒定律,发胖是因为摄入的热量比消耗的热量多,所以肥胖是一种“能量失衡”,想要减肥只要少吃多运动,保持消耗的热量...

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.
评分平装版的封面明明那么好看!
评分不是很吸引人
