Fat Chance: The Hidden Truth About Sugar, Obesity and Disease
Sugar is toxic, addictive and everywhere. So what chance do you have of living sugar-free?
With busy lives and little time left for cooking we find ourselves relying on a diet of processed food. But this is what’s responsible for our chronically expanding waistlines, soaring levels of diabetes and a catalogue of diseases.
Dr Robert Lustig reveals the truth about our sugar-laden food:
Why conventional low-fat weight loss advice won’t work: not every calorie is the same, and skipping lunch doesn’t mean it’s ok to eat dessert
Why too much sugar can cause serious illness even if you are not overweight
How the food industry is filling our diets with hidden sugars – and which foods you must cut out to avoid them
How governments are complacent about, and even complicit in, exacerbating our food debacle
He will radically change the way you see your food and give you more than a fat chance of a healthier, happier and smarter life

Easy to use
Great quick reference. The book is well organized and it’s easy to look things up. The case law footnotes give a good starting point for any further research that you may need.

Information is great, quality not so much
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Think the information is good and to the point. My book was misprinted and had the top portion of the page cut off so that I can see about only half of the book page number.

History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes
Format: Hardcover
They say that history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. Reading Rachel Maddow's Prequel, that old adage lands with uncomfortable, clarifying force. The America of the 1930s had Senator Huey Long — loud, brash, barnstorming, and brimming with populist promises — and the resonance with our own era of bombastic political theater is impossible to dismiss. Maddow doesn't make that parallel clumsily. She doesn't need to. The evidence, laid out with the precision of a seasoned researcher and historian, speaks for itself.
Prequel tells the story of a far-right authoritarian impulse that has run through the veins of American political life for nearly a hundred years. In the 1930s, coinciding with Hitler's rise in Europe, a coordinated movement pushed hard for fascism here at home. Groups stockpiled weapons and explosives in preparation for an insurrection. Government officials worked in coordination with foreign actors. A fascist-sympathetic narrative was amplified through official and unofficial channels alike. This was not fringe paranoia — it was organized, resourced, and frighteningly close to succeeding.
What is remarkable — and what gives this book its most urgent energy — is the story of who stopped it. Not always the institutions we might hope to rely on. Where the American legal system faltered, journalists and activists filled the breach. Investigators, reporters, and citizens took up the banner of democracy through dogged, unglamorous work.
This is where Maddow's particular genius comes into its own. She is a master of the long connective thread — drawing bright lines between the events of the past and the present without letting the comparison become reductive or cheap. Prequel teaches us what was learned the last time democracy faced this kind of pressure: where the weaknesses are, what held, and — critically — what it will take to hold again. She identifies the strongholds. She maps the vulnerabilities. She makes a history lesson feel like a field guide.
The book is also, simply, a pleasure to read. Maddow brings to the page the same qualities that made her a formidable broadcaster: the ability to take deeply complex, document-heavy material and render it not just comprehensible but genuinely gripping. Her research is formidable. Her journalistic integrity is evident on every page. And her storytelling instincts transform what might otherwise be a dry historical account into something that reads with the momentum of a thriller. The result is a text that is at once a celebration — democracy was fought for and, in that moment, successfully defended — and a warning.
This book is well researched, well documented, and well written. Maddow is a master storyteller handing us a guide for the fight ahead of us. The impulse toward authoritarianism did not dissolve with the defeat of fascism abroad; it went quiet, regrouped, and waited. Democracy is once again under attack from the inside, and Prequel makes the case — calmly, rigorously, without hysteria — that this is not unprecedented, that it has been faced before, and that it can be faced again.
Don't give up the fight. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

American history without the gold-plated bias
Format: Hardcover
Ms. Maddow is an amazing historian and journalist! She describes events in history in a rational, no-nonsense manner, with clarity and insight. We have been taught a white-washed version of history from 1st through 12th grade, and I literally mean white-washed. Humanity has always made mistakes and should be recorded in history. Ms. Maddow does an exceptional job of removing the "sugar-coating" from documented events and revealing the greed, corruption, and manipulation hiding beneath. I dearly hope that she will write a biography on this present president, which I believe would be as close to the truth as humanly possible. I will certainly buy a copy!
