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.

评分 评分2020.2.5 前天看完,今天印象就很寡淡了,因为本身没有干货,写的也比较平淡。2-3星吧 阅读之前,期待的是一本讲述碳水化合物的实际坏处的科普读物,实际上是一本讲述臆断果糖引发各项生理机能异常的推断。作者本人立场很偏,字词也加了很多私货,但是没有文献引用,没有实验证...
评分“浮生的半分欢愉,无奈中的一丝慰藉。” “不能放任,父母的当对子女合理控制。” ——英国记者提姆·李德森 为什么会这么依赖糖,喜欢糖,书中给出了很多答案和从古至今很多专家的见解。 嗜糖不外乎是一种本能,300年前,英国医师弗莱德里克·斯莱尔写道:“给婴儿喂糖水,他...
评分一部糖的历史,并不给出结论,因为结论在每个人的手中。少吃,吃植物,少糖。
评分平装版的封面明明那么好看!
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.
