Every day, we ingest 8,500 milligrams of salt, double the recommended amount, almost none of which comes from the shakers on our table. It comes from processed food, an industry that hauls in $1 trillion in annual sales. In \u003ci\u003eSalt Sugar Fat, \u003c\/i\u003ePulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Michael Moss shows how we ended up here. Featuring examples from Kraft, Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Frito-Lay, Nestl , Oreos, Capri Sun, and many more, Moss's explosive, empowering narrative is grounded in meticulous, eye-opening research. He takes us into labs where scientists calculate the \"bliss point\" of sugary beverages, unearths marketing techniques taken straight from tobacco company playbooks, and talks to concerned insiders who make startling confessions. Just as millions of \"heavy users\" are addicted to salt, sugar, and fat, so too are the companies that peddle them. You will never look at a nutrition label the same way again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eSalt Sugar Fat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \" Michael] Moss has written a \u003ci\u003eFast Food Nation\u003c\/i\u003e for the processed food industry.
