{"product_id":"the-case-against-sugar","title":"The Case Against Sugar","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":53228695322911,"sku":"A12236","price":11.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0546\/5119\/files\/71I3xxQDpKL._SY1500.jpg?v=1794391490","url":"https:\/\/lumobook.store\/products\/the-case-against-sugar","provider":"LumoBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
