Excellent wake-up call!

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!

This book makes all other dietary books supplemental.

Understand food and why processing is so unhealthy.

Robert Lustig is straightforward in his information. Some early chapters are challenging but worth listening to. His later chapters are insightful about the food companies.

Tremendous help for a carer of dementia, diabetic & chronic kidney disease patient

Dr Robert Lustig’s no holds research presents pertinent and helpful foundations for me as a carer of my mother’s long list of health issues — most of which, are reversible. Highly recommended!

Too much politics, otherwise scientific

Good idea behind the book.
Concerned about folks' health.
Looks into causes, finds diet and misinformation n corporate greed to blame, along with entrenched bad science, scientists and phony professionals.
Finds much politics.
While all no doubt true, it's a bit doomy n gloomy and gets depressing.
He hopes the book'll make it digferent, it may.
Good man, good science, good intentions.
Too much irony/drama in narrator, grates at times.
Will yhis book change out a completely broken system?
Nope but folk becoming aware will.

Phenomenal Metabolical

Robert Lustig brings it all together - the corruption, the failure of the education systems, the failure of the scientists and the deepseated irresponsibility of the ill-health industry. Amazing book that inspires us to move as far away from has been created as is possible.

Life Changing Book

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

A Seminal Work!

This book outlines the science on how processed & ultra-processed foods laden with sugar & additives are slowly poisoning us. It provides the reader/listener with the science on how processed foods "hack" one's brain and the damage this addiction to sugar inflicts on our own health, and on govt health budgets. The author calls out Big Food, Big Pharma, the medical & allied health professions & their lobbyists who have led governments world wide down a path of allowing us to all be slowly poisoned. The book also examines how the "Processed Food Industrial Complex" is adversely impacting on the environment & climate change globally. The book provides a simple solution... eat real food! We all know this intrinsically, but most of us in this modern world are sugar addicts without realising it. This book educates the reader/listener with the science & the facts to do something about it, starting with improving one's own health & those of our nearest & dearest. Required reading for anyone who cares about their own health & the health of our planet.
