Description

Sugar is toxic, addictive and everywhere. So what chance do you have of living sugar-free? We all know the obvious culprits when it comes to sugar, but now Dr Robert Lustig reveals how much is hidden in our diet. Our dependence on sugar-laden processed foods has manifested in shocking levels of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and heart disease. ‘Fat Chance’ exposes the political and business interests behind our modern diet, and shows why exercise and the latest food fads won’t work for everyone who wants to get fitter. The real key to regulating our hunger is to understand why every calorie is different. Cutting out sugar is not just about making us thin – it’s about giving us more than a fat chance of a healthier, happier and smarter life!

Dr Robert Lustig has spent the past sixteen years treating childhood obesity and studying the effects of sugar on the central nervous system and metabolism. He is the Director of the UCSF Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health Program and also a member of the Obesity Task Force of the Endocrine Society.
