incoherent melodrama
- By Randy Stanfield on 06-11-12
By: Rich Roll
Publisher's summary
It's not what you eat that's damaging your health; it's how that food is 'made'. The truth behind ultra-processed food that the food industry doesn't want you to know.
Did you know that 62 per cent of the food in our supermarkets is not only processed but 'ultra-processed' (ingredients from other foods are combined to make something 'new', often in colours that do not exist in nature) and that data shows that by eating this kind of food over time we are literally slowly poisoning ourselves?
In the hard-hitting, groundbreaking tradition of his NY Times best seller Fat Chance, which revealed the dangers of sugar, Dr Robert Lustig persuasively presents a stark exposé of how our addiction to processed foods (aided and abetted by the food industry, big ag, big pharma, institutional medicine and the government) is behind the lethal increase in major non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, cancer and dementia. We have come to accept that these chronic diseases are simply part of the 'natural ageing process', but Dr Lustig makes the case that this is simply not true.
The solution on both a personal and societal level is a return to unprocessed food, and Dr Lustig offers a doable plan for us to heal and restore our own health and well-being with real food, and in the process boosting our immunity to viruses like COVID-19.

This was my first book on nutrition, but it’s so much more. In depth and comprehensible Physiology and cellular biochemistry, mixed with a practical yet basic overview of modern economics and politics as it relates to the food industry. I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed listening.

If your health is suffering, stop listening to other "experts"... or "professionals".
Do this and see for yourself.
Well done Robert... may the world start listening.
Although we know they won't, not yet. People see to like suffering and would rather take a pill. but those who listen will potentially lead better, happier and higher performance lives for longer.

Robert is a pioneer
I hope that many readers will learn from this book. But I suspect that he is preaching to the converted. However I have been writing, blogging and sharing my views on processed foods now for many years. And I will share what I’ve learnt myself from this excellent well researched book.
If only it would influence millions of people. The only way we can win the war of real food versus processed foods is with our wallets, or should I say credit cards? and weekly shopping. I can see a gradual shift in the last ten years, but only wish it would speed up.
I was impressed and interested in what he says about global warming, and it’s connection with processed foods. Especially sugar.
I read the John Yudkin book “Pure white and deadly” when it first came out in the 80’s. This planet is taking a long time to get the message! I’m glad that John is one of Roberts hero’s
I know from fifty years of struggle with sugar addiction that it exists. I also witnessed my late husband become diabetic, having consumed vast quantities of sugar, but because he was always thin thought he could get away with it.
Read this book if you want to change the climate with global warming, health and lifestyle.

Life changing
This book is life changing. When I saw Dr Robert Lustig in a you tube program I realised for the first time in my 60 years why I had gained so much weight. This book sets out simply the way the food industry has changed during my life time and that of my children all born in the 1980’s. I can now move forward with a plan adopting real change for the better for me, my husband, children and grandchildren. This is one of those life changing books that everyone needs to read and I can not recommend it enough.

Perfect.
This book is an absolute must, I study ancestral health, and have read many books on insulin, paleo, carnivore etc etc. This audio book balances all that research out nicely by filling in the gaps regarding processed food. We all know it’s shit and bad for us, but we don’t really understand why, this is the only audio book to date, that after completing went straight back to the beginning to listen again. I will probably buy the physical book also, I found it that important/good. Robert Lustig is an incredible human being.

Best read of the year. Not only is Robert Lustig making an eloquently clear case in a field muddied with mis-information, but you feel the weight of his deep practical experience and his massive research referencing exercise. Kudos for the bravery to say this stuff given the flack so many others have faced in the past.

I love the work of Dr Robert Lustig. The quality of this audio was brilliant!
I have the hard copy book, but never been able to read on the tube as it was almost always packed on my way to work. Getting it in audio instead was a great idea, and I loved how the person presenting it had similar voice to Robert. Insightful and revolutional information from this book lets us see how corrupt is big food and big pharma, and they go so far to fool ordinary people to get more money. Two years now I am limiting my process food and sugar intake and it makes such a huge difference! I hope Robert’s work will be able to reach as many people as possible, and transform our broken food system and knowledge around health and nutrition.

A Good treatise on the dangers of processed food
Although Dr Lustig is talking about America this book is very pertinent to anywhere in the first world. Processed food is killing humans, animals, bees and the planet. You don’t need to be vegan, but you do need to eat real, unadulterated food. Not animals and birds fed food they wouldn’t eat in the wild, which then means giving them antibiotics to survive it or plants covered with pesticides and insecticide causing pollution of water, fish and our bodies

Loved the book content and the narration. Timely wake-up call to what goes on with food companies and pharmaceutical companies to keep selling us their products. We know it deep down I guess but this is packed with facts and figures providing us the information to argue the case with our friends and family. Get them all onto the real food bandwagon and get your health and vitality back fast. Lost 5 pounds during the 2 weeks I listened to this without exercising, just avoiding junk!

Brilliant forensic examination of diet, metabolism and modern industrial food production. Written by a distinguished paediatrician who has walked the walk and has the clinician’s knack for explaining complex issues with simple aphorisms. I’m sure I will use this in my own life and clinical practice. Thankyou Dr Lustig

Story
In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control. To help us lose weight and recover our health, Robert Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation.

Story
While researching the toxic and addictive properties of sugar for Fat Chance, Robert Lustig made an alarming discovery - our pursuit of happiness is being subverted by a culture of addiction and depression from which we may never recover. Dopamine is the "reward" neurotransmitter that tells our brains we want more; yet every substance or behavior that releases dopamine in the extreme leads to addiction. Serotonin is the "contentment" neurotransmitter that tells our brains we don't need any more; yet its deficiency leads to depression.

Story
Among Americans, diabetes is more prevalent today than ever. Obesity is at epidemic proportions; nearly 10% of children are thought to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. And sugar is at the root of these, and other, critical, society-wide, health-related problems. With his signature command of both science and straight talk, Gary Taubes delves into Americans' history with sugar: its uses as a preservative, as an additive in cigarettes, the contemporary overuse of high-fructose corn syrup.

Story
How much of our daily caloric intake comes from ingesting substances that, technically speaking, do not meet traditional definitions of “food”? Chances are, if you’re eating something that came wrapped in plastic and contains a funky ingredient you don’t have in your kitchen, it's most likely—almost definitely—ultra-processed food, or UPF.

Glucose, or blood sugar, is a tiny molecule in our body that has a huge impact on our health. It enters our bloodstream through the starchy or sweet foods we eat. Ninety percent of us suffer from too much glucose in our system—and most of us don't know it.

Story
In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control. To help us lose weight and recover our health, Robert Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation.
