Pure White and Deadly John Yudkin - Sugar Health Nutrition

John Yudkin's influential and remarkably prescient book about sugar and its effects on health, first published in the 1970s when his warnings were largely dismissed.

This 2012 Penguin edition brings the book back to a modern audience with a new introduction by Dr Robert Lustig, a leading expert on childhood obesity.

Yudkin looks at why we consume so much sugar, where it is hidden in everyday foods and the evidence linking excessive consumption with obesity, heart disease and other health problems. Written for the general reader rather than as a technical medical textbook.

An interesting read for anyone interested in nutrition, diet, public health, food science or the history of the modern debate around sugar.
