Good Morning Sugar 🧐
There is no physiological requirement for sugar; all human nutritional needs can be met in full without having to take a single spoon of white or brown or raw sugar, on its own or in any food or drink. – John Yudkin & Robert H. Lustig
John Yudkin (8 August 1910–12 July 1995) was a British physiologist and nutritionist, whose books include This Slimming Business, Eat Well, Slim Well and This Nutrition Business. He became internationally famous with his book Pure, White and Deadly, first published in 1972, and was one of the first scientists to claim that sugar was a major cause of obesity and heart disease.
Robert H. Lustig, MD, is Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. He combats obesity through his efforts in basic science, clinical research, patient care and policy analysis. Dr Lustig is the editor of the academic volume Obesity Before Birth and the author of the book Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity and Disease.
