Robert Lustig’s 90-minute YouTube video “Sugar: The Bitter Truth”, has been viewed more than three million times. Now, in this much anticipated book, he documents the science and the politics that has led to the pandemic of chronic disease over the last 30 years.
In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control.
To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. Compelling, controversial, and completely based in science, Fat Chance debunks the widely held notion to prove “a calorie is NOT a calorie”, and takes that science to its logical conclusion to improve health worldwide.

Store description
I reside in a rural community in central Minnesota near Mille Lacs Lake. Currently, I am in the third year of an online PhD program in Philosophy, Art and Critical Thought at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. It has been a lifelong ambition to complete this educational goal. I am retired, having served as a Lutheran parish minister, and I taught philosophy at a small, two-year college in central Minnesota. I have been an ABE book seller in the past, but decided it was too much for me to do with marriage, helping to raise a family, and tending to my vocations, so I gave up my book business – These Old Books. I look forward to getting back into the shelves of books and trying to find the volume that a customer wants or needs.…
