Wolfram Alderson's Reviews > Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine

Dr. Lustig never ceases to expand your mind with his science and wit. Boohoo, some think he is too critical of the food and beverage industry, and he does question just about every assumption that one may have about nutrition and what is healthy. Yeah, he can sound pissed off at times, but what would you expect from a pediatrician who has experienced more and more children piling up at his exam room door with diseases that were once only associated with older adults. Only 12% of people in the US are metabolically healthy, and the rates of people dying from metabolic disease dwarf all those dying by wars and communicable disease. But, in our culture, it is perfectly legal to kill people with bad food, just as long as you do it slowly, over decades of time, starting when they are young. Over 50% of people in the US are prediabetic or diabetic. So, if Dr. Lustig's book, Metabolical, doesn't wake you the hell up, nothing will... 'Metabolical' offers a strong message to the processed food industry: stop killing us with your toxic food-like substances.
