And sugar is at the root of these, and other, critical society-wide, health-related problems. With his signature command of both science and straight talk, Gary Taubes delves into Americans' history with sugar: its uses as a preservative, as an additive in cigarettes, the contemporary overuse of high-fructose corn syrup. He explains what research has shown about our addiction to sweets. He clarifies the arguments against sugar, corrects misconceptions about the relationship between sugar and weight loss; and provides the perspective necessary to make informed decisions about sugar as individuals and as a society.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGARY TAUBES\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eWhy We Get Fat and Good Calories, Bad Calories.\u003c\/i\u003e He is a former staff writer for \u003ci\u003eDiscover\u003c\/i\u003e and a correspondent for the journal \u003ci\u003eScience. \u003c\/i\u003eHis writing has appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEsquire, \u003c\/i\u003eand has been included in numerous \"Best of\" anthologies, including \u003ci\u003eThe Best of the Best American Science Writing\u003c\/i\u003e (2010).
