"Robert Lustig's 90-minute YouTube video "Sugar: The Bitter Truth", has been viewed more than two million times. Now, in this much anticipated book, he documents the science and the politics that has led to the pandemic of chronic disease over the last 30 years. In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control. To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. Compelling, controversial, and completely based in science, Fat Chance debunks the widely held notion to prove "a calorie is NOT a calorie", and takes that science to its logical conclusion to improve health worldwide"-- "Robert Lustig's ninety-minute YouTube video "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" has been viewed nearly three million times.

Hmm, so I did like this book. I think it presented a lot of good arguments and never went into the whole "you're all bad people for eating sugar and being fat" spiel that a lot of people do. Instead it presented some great arguments as to why sugar is bad and should be avoided, while explaining why it's so addictive and explaning some of the food trends of the past decades.

It did make some weird points about people being hunters OR gatherers which I don't think is true? Pretty sure it was hunter and gatherer ... but obviously Lustig is a doctor, not an archeologist.

The thing is though since I finished it (a week or so ago) I haven't changed much in my way of life. Actually, that's not true, I have cut down severly on fruit smoothies, but I still have one for breakfast (a fiber rich one though!). I still eat couscous. I eat candy. I live a healthy life (being a vegan and all), but I absolutely don't live up to the expectations of this book. Maybe I eat more fibers than before.

So while it's a good book I feel I have completely failed? ( )

Sugar is toxic, addictive and everywhere. So what chance do you have of living sugar-free?
With busy lives and little time left for cooking we find ourselves relying on a diet of processed food. But this is what’s responsible for our chronically expanding waistlines, soaring levels of diabetes and a catalogue of diseases.
Dr Robert Lustig reveals the truth about our sugar-laden food:
• Why conventional low-fat weight loss advice won’t work: not every calorie is the same, and skipping lunch doesn’t mean it’s ok to eat dessert
• Why too much sugar can cause serious illness even if you are not overweight
• How the food industry is filling our diets with hidden sugars – and which foods you must cut out to avoid them
•How governments are complacent about, and even complicit in, exacerbating our food debacle
He will radically change the way you see your food and give you more than a fat chance of a healthier, happier and smarter life! ( )

Good balance of nutrition science, humor, and serious message here! Referred to often in stunt memoir, Year of No Sugar by Eve O. Schaub. ( )

Fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. Everyone should read this book! ( )

Well written medical research based review of why sugar and fiber are the primary problems of our diet. Processed food = sugar fiber removed, hence the problem. The solution is to eat real food. The back end gets down to the corporate and political problems of the issue. ( )
