Executive Summary of the original book Editorial Review Key Takeaways & Analysis Brief chapter-by-chapter summaries A short bio of the the author Original Book Summary Overview The abundance and affordability of sugar have seemingly made modern life much sweeter than decades past – but at a cost. In The Case Against Sugar, Taubes explores the dark side of sugar, from the minor inconveniences it is known to cause, to the more sinister diseases that have become epidemics since sugar became ubiquitous. He explains why despite being a suspect in diabetes, sugar continues to be perceived as a largely innocent part of the human diet, thanks to biased scientific research and marketing campaigns funded by the sugar industry. Lastly, he explores the controversial connection this dangerously addicting white powder has to hypertension, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and a slew of other diseases of Western lifestyles.

Slightly Repetitive, but Informative

Not groundbreaking knowledge for me, personally, as removing sugar from my diet was a step I had taken several years ago but the history was worth learning.
