Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease by Robert H. LustigMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"A calorie is not a calorie." I have seen some evidence of this personally. When I eat sugar, I gain weight faster. Some of this information was new to me. I especially liked the detailed descriptions of how our bodies process food. Some parts of the book seemed distorted, like he was playing with numbers to get you to believe his point of view. I still prefer a whole foods approach, still has less sugar, but you evaluate your food based on nutrient density rather than sugar and fiber content. I do agree that sugar at the levels most Americans eat it is toxic and that needs to change.
