Did you know that 62% of the food in our supermarkets is not only
processed but 'ultra-processed' (ingredients from other foods are
combined to make something 'new', often in colours that do not exist in
nature) and that data shows that by eating this kind of food over time
we are literally slowly poisoning ourselves?
In the hard-hitting, ground-breaking tradition of his NY Times
bestseller FAT CHANCE, which revealed the dangers of sugar, Dr Robert
Lustig persuasively presents a stark exposé of how our addiction to
processed foods (aided and abetted by the food industry, big ag, big
pharma, institutional medicine and the government) is behind the lethal
increase in major non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, heart
disease, fatty liver disease, cancer and dementia. We have come to
accept that these chronic diseases are simply part of the 'natural
ageing process', but Dr Lustig makes the case that this is simply not
true.
The solution on both a personal and societal level is a return to
unprocessed food and Dr Lustig offers a doable plan for us to heal and
restore our own health and wellbeing with real food, and in the process
boosting our immunity to viruses like Covid-19.
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!
Changing one's diet not only improves physical health, but benefits
mood, behaviour and cognitive function at a fundamental level. This
book highlights the link between nutrition and mental health and
demonstrates the crucial role of diet in supporting individuals
with ADHD. Written by an internationally-recognised leader in the
growing field of nutritional psychiatry, Dr Rachel Gow takes a
nutrition-based look at ADHD and its management. Combining the
latest research with the inspirational stories of a range of
professionals and individuals whose lives have been touched by the
issues raised, this book also includes accessible tips throughout
and a chapter of recipes to promote brain health. This is an
essential guide to understanding the interplay of brain health and
nutrition, and supporting families to build a diet that optimises
brain function and health.
Sugar. It is killing us. Why do we eat so much of it? What are its
hidden dangers? In 1972, when British scientist John Yudkin first
proved that sugar was bad for our health, he was ignored by the
majority of the medical profession and rubbished by the food
industry. We should have heeded his warning. Today, one in four
adults in the UK are overweight. There is an epidemic of obese
six-month-olds around the globe. Sugar consumption has tripled
since the Second World War. Using everyday language and a range of
scientific evidence, Professor Yudkin 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 damaging our health. Brought up to date by childhood obesity
expert Dr Robert Lustig MD, his classic expose on the hidden
dangers of sugar is essential reading for anyone interested in
their health, the health of their children and the health of modern
society.
