Sugar: The World Corrupted: From Slavery to Obesity by James WalvinMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
While it did get better starting around chapter 11, there was not a lot of new information here. I didn’t think the time regarding slavery was appropriate. The author discussed it in a very matter of fact way. If you’re going to discuss how sugar contributed to an increase in slavery then you better discuss the horrors and the long-term consequences of that horror otherwise the entire point of discussing it is lost. To a lesser degree, the author also did this with the nutritional effects of sugar. Okay we know it contributes to obesity but what about the medical horrors of diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer?
