Reddit reviews The Case Against Sugar

Interesting. I've been listening to this great audiobook while driving to work. . That warning seems wise.

The Case Against Sugar is not a single study but a pretty well researched book that hits on this idea quite a bit. He has another one called "Why We Get Fat" that I have not read but I believe is more of the same.

From a lot of what I've read the science is going more in the direction of what u/alisonrw is saying.

No, sugar itself is actually bad for you. Would you say cigarettes are fine in moderation?

Or you can read these books

All three explain The Big Fat Lie. Seeing as how you are all hung up on youtube being an invalid source. Tell me why all three books have chapters about how CICO are not the only story about weight loss? Get back to me when you read them.
