Description
Sugar was once a rare resource, but over the past 150 years, our consumption has skyrocketed. David Gillespie, who was once 6 stone overweight, discovered that cutting out sugar led to rapid weight loss and sustained energy. He embarked on a journey to investigate the link between sugar, obesity, and various diseases. Gillespie's research reveals that our bodies haven't developed an 'off-switch' for sugar, making it easy to overconsume. Food manufacturers exploit this by adding sugar to seemingly healthy products like bread, sauces, and cereals. In "Sweet Poison", Gillespie exposes the dangers of sugar addiction and provides practical advice on how to quit.
