Pure, White, and Deadly: How Sugar Is Killing Us and What We Can Do to Stop It

Pure White and Deadly

More than 40 years before Gary Taubes published The Case Against Sugar, John Yudkin published his now-classic exposé on the dangers of sugar—reissued here with a new introduction by Robert H. Lustig, the bestselling author of Fat Chance.

Scientist John Yudkin was the first to sound the alarm about the excess of sugar in the diet of modern Americans. His classic exposé, Pure, White, and Deadly, clearly and engagingly describes how sugar is damaging our bodies, why we eat so much of it, and what we can do to stop. He explores the ins and out of sugar, from the different types—is brown sugar really better than white?—to how it is hidden inside our everyday foods, and how it is harming our health.

In 1972, Yudkin was m

Sugar was killing me and it took a year to get over the major cravings., December 10, 2014

Exposes the truth about eating sugar and how the sugar industry fights to keep those facts hidden. I have given up sugar for over a year now (I found it was triggering my fibromyalgia) and lost 40 lbs. No other change to my diet or exercise. Just removed white sugar. Which is no easy feat as it is literally in 90% of every processed food item you might buy. Have to ask ourselves, “Why is there added sugar in processed items that has never been required in the recipes we make at home?” Answer: Because it is highly addictive and the manufactures and the sugar industry know that if you get some into your body you will want more and more. Getting off of sugar was like just getting off of an opioid. All the same withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Took a year to finally get rid of the major cravings. Sugar is killing us and is every bit as dangerous (if not more so because little children are fed it from toddler age on up) then cocaine. By the way. I have had no pain (except for accidentally ingesting some) from my fibromyalgia since I gave up sugar on November 3, 2013.

This review is from: Pure, White, and Deadly: How Sugar Is Killing Us and What We Can Do to Stop It (Paperback)

I ordered this book after reading an online NY Times Magazine article entitled “Is Sugar Toxic”, and I plan to order several more copies to give to the people I love. This book traces the history of sugar, how sugar is refined, and the many effects it has on body chemistry. Because of my family medical history, of particular interest to me is the connection between sugar and coronary disease, since most of us are still under the old assumption that saturated fat is what we need to worry about. This book disputed that notion forty years ago, and is finally being accepted as mainstream science today, but old science dies hard.

A Must Read For Today’s Society, September 11, 2013

This review is from: Pure, White, and Deadly: How Sugar Is Killing Us and What We Can Do to Stop It (Paperback)

An absolute must read, predicting what we are now seeing 40 years later. Yudkin’s research on sugar and Mary G. Enig’s research on fats have turned common nutrition wisdom upside down. I have done the traditional low fat, high carb method of eating and had horrible triglyceride and cholesterol levels. See my review here: http://www.amazon.com/Know-Your-Fats-Understanding-Cholesterol/product-reviews/0967812607/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending#R3739P0BCADWI0

Switched to more saturated fats and fewer sugars, and my levels went way down, contrary to what my physician thought would happen. I see this in my daily life at the office: co-workers eating all the refined sugary treats and constantly complaining that they are fat or sick, or both. I refrain most of the time, and am not fat, nor do I get sick (unless my son sneezes on me). Change your eating style, don’t believe the B.S. media and the government says will make you healthy, and you’ll see the difference.
