PURE, WHITE, AND DEADLY How Sugar is Killing Us and What We Can Do to Stop It

University of London researcher John Yudkin's title, first published in 1972, with revisions in 1986, states the case for limiting or eliminating sugar from one's diet. Chris MacDonnell narrates Yudkin's work with quiet authority. He takes on a chiding tone as Yudkin tells listeners just how large their daily sugar intake is. Yudkin goes into detail about the health problems he links to sugar, ranging from tooth decay to heart attacks. Happily, his studies on both animals and humans lead to a suggested strategy for weaning listeners away from dietary sugar. Listeners may feel nervous about reaching for a soda or candy bar after hearing Yudkin's warnings. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2017]
