Read "Pure, White and Deadly" by John Yudkin, I wished we had listened to this man back in the day!!!!

So while listening to Dr. Lustig, I became interested in the researcher he refers to, named John Yudkin. Yudkin was a contemporary of the famous Ancel Keys who came up with the idea that saturated fat causes heart disease. Yudkin however felt that sugar was the culprit. Ancel Keys' hypothesis dominated the time and has had a vice grip on our nation for 60 years or so but I think Yudkin's theory is proving closer to the mark and will have the last word. Listening to Yudkin's book, "Pure, White and Deadly" was fascinating. Particularly humanizing was, towards the end of the book, when he shared his own struggle with a love of sugar.
