Pure, White, and Deadly: How Sugar Is Killing Us and What We Can Do to Stop It

More than 40 years before Gary TaubesÂ publishedÂ The Case Against Sugar, John Yudkin published hisÂ now-classic exposÃ© on the dangers of sugarâ€”reissued hereÂ with a new introduction by Robert H. Lustig, the bestselling author of Fat Chance.

Scientist John Yudkin was the first to sound the alarm about the excess of sugar in the diet of modern Americans. His classic exposÃ©, Pure, White, and Deadly, clearly and engagingly describes how sugar is damaging our bodies, why we eat so much of it, and what we can do to stop. He explores the ins and out of sugar, from the different typesâ€”is brown sugar really better than white?â€”to how it is hidden inside our everyday foods, and how it is harming our health.

In 1972, Yudkin was mostly ignored by the health industry and media, but the events of the last forty years have proven him spectacularly right. Yudkinâ€™s insights are even more important and relevant now, with todayâ€™s record levels of obesity, than when they were first published. Brought up-to-date by childhood obesity expert Dr. Robert H. Lustig, this emphatic treatise on the hidden dangers of sugar is essential reading for anyone concerned about their health, the health of their children, and the wellbeing of modern society.
