Robert H. Lustig, M.D. is an internationally-recognised paediatric neuroendocrinologist, who specialises on the regulation of energy balance by the central nervous system. His research and clinical practice has focused on childhood obesity and diabetes. He is not co-opted by any organisation or individual, does not espouse a specific diet and has cared for patients for over 40 years. He believes the food business, by pushing processed food loaded with sugar, has hacked our bodies and minds to pursue pleasure instead of happiness; fostering today's epidemics of addiction and depression. His first book Fat Chance was a NY Times bestseller and his Ted talk on sugar has over 8.7 million views.Dr Lustig lives in San Francisco, USA with his wife Julie and two daughters.

The authoritative, no-hold-barred analysis of what food does for health, versus what the food industry does for disease.

1. 5/5

   Metabolic

   Excellect. Well written, even for the layman. Despite the seriousness of the subject he can make you laugh. Easy to read and enjoyable.

   En bok för hälsonördar?

   Vissa delar är bra och informativa men mycket oväsentligheter tar allt för stor plats. Författaren pratar alltför mycket om sina åsikter och sockrets metabola konsekvenser hamnar nästan i skymundan. Det är synd för budskapet är viktigt.
