The Sugar Epidemic: Is Sugar The New Tobacco?
John E. Mackey Do You Enjoy Sugar? Has sugar taken control of your life?
There is a deepening worry about the long term effects of sugar on us, and our younger generation, who are consuming sugar by the spades. Sugar is considered a staple by today’s standards and has been used for your sweetening needs throughout history, but never has the numbers of obesity, diabetic, or generally overweight among the world’s population been this high. Especially, in young adults and teenagers; they seem more afflicted by these diseases as compared to adults and the numbers are steadily rising every day. We all know that the Fast food industry has something to do with this as well, but the major contributing factor is still sugar and its presence in virtually all things we consume, or are trendy these days.
Today, manufacturers have come up with cheaper methods of supplying us with a potent amount of sugar in its worst form, fructose. We have gone from averagely healthy to obese and unwell in the last couple of decades. This book will talk about why sugar is considered a continuous danger to us, and why we need to get a handle on the rising sugar epidemic! If you’re looking for a way to understand the effects of sugar in your life and the life of the younger generation, this is the book for you.
