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

Product Information

Robert Lustig is a paediatric endocrinologist at the University of California who specialises in the treatment of childhood obesity. A 90-minute talk he gave in 2009, titled Sugar: The Bitter Truth, has now been viewed more than six million times on YouTube. In it, Lustig argues forcefully that fructose, a form of sugar ubiquitous in modern diets, is a “poison” culpable for America’s obesity epidemic.

Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now.

These created a generalised sense that there was something harmful about sugar and that people should eat less of it. Ironically, the most significant measure of Yudkin's increasing influence has come from the sugar industry itself. In 1964, aware of his arguments even before Pure, White and Deadly was published, the two big UK sugar producers (AB Sugar and Tate & Lyle) set up the Sugar Bureau (later Sugar Nutrition) to provide scientific counter-arguments on the health effects of sugar. In 2016, recognising that the public argument had been lost, they closed it down.

I have given up sugar for many years and lost a lot of weight. 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.

Unsurprisingly, sugar production is rising in parallel, not only through more cane and beet, but also because of increased production of high fructose corn syrup/“isoglucose”, made from other starchy crops, like maize and wheat. Indeed, for all the attention to new policies to control demand for sugar, agricultural and trade policies continue to stimulate its production. [38] Nonetheless, the reformulation programmes of governments and companies should, over the longer term, gradually reduce consumption. The American scientists say that sugar is a poison and that its sale should be as tightly regulated as nicotine and alcohol. Such hyperbole is not persuasive. They get publicity for going over the top but I doubt that they will have influence where it matters - in the shops and at the table.
