review 1: Super heavy on the science! This book examines the rise of sugar in heavily industrialized nations, and how up-and-coming nations are now facing increases in obesity, heart disease, cancer, and tooth decay attributed to higher consumption of sugar. Everyone has heard the saying 'everything in moderation'. This books makes an excellent case why you need to cut back on your sugar consumption, as long as you're willing to read all the scientific studies.
review 2: Dr. John Yudkin was a British physiologist who believed that sugar consumption was closely associated with heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Around the same time, Ancel Keys an American scientist argued that dietary fat was the primary cause of heart disease. Dr. Keys' view became accepted in the US a... morend paved the way to continued heart disease and a growing obesity problem. I believe that Dr. Yudkin was correct in seeing the negative impact sugar was having not only on cavities, weight gain and diabetes but also on heart disease. I was impressed that he saw all this well before others (this book was published in 1972). So I had high expectations as I started to read this book. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I got from this book which is why I gave it such a low rating and maybe that's why he lost the debate. less
