Metabolical & Fat Chance By Dr Robert Lustig 2 Book Set

Metabolical and Fat Chance by Dr Robert Lustig are presented together in this two-book collection. Across both titles, Lustig examines the role of processed food and sugar in modern diets, and challenges widely accepted assumptions about health, ageing and chronic disease.

In Metabolical, he sets out an exposé of how addiction to processed foods, supported by the food industry, big agriculture, big pharma, institutional medicine and government, is linked to rising levels of major non-communicable diseases. Fat Chance focuses on sugar as toxic, addictive and widespread, and discusses why common low-fat weight-loss advice fails, how hidden sugars enter everyday foods, and the part governments play in the wider food debate.

Synopses

Metabolical

In the tradition of the author’s NY Times bestseller FAT CHANCE, this book presents an exposé of how addiction to processed foods is linked to an increase in major non-communicable diseases. It argues that chronic illness is not simply a natural part of ageing, and points to the influence of the food industry, big agriculture, big pharma, institutional medicine and government.

Fat Chance

This book argues that sugar is toxic, addictive and widespread, and asks what chance there is of living sugar-free in a busy world reliant on processed food. It challenges conventional low-fat weight-loss advice, discusses how sugar can cause serious illness even without being overweight, and describes how hidden sugars are added to foods. It also addresses the role of government in worsening the wider food situation.
