Most of us know that sugar can wreak havoc on adult bodies, but few realize how uniquely harmful it is to the growing livers, hearts, and brains of children. And the damage can begin early in life. In his research on the effects of sugar on kids' present and future health, USC Professor of Pediatrics and Program Director for Diabetes and Obesity at Children's Hospital Los Angeles Michael Goran has found that too much sugar doesn't just cause childhood obesity, it can cause health issues in kids who are not overweight, too.

The effects of sugar on developing children, and the disastrous portrayal of fruits and veggies as healthy.

I found a lot of good information in this book, particularly about the disastrous consequences of eating sugar in any form, and also non-nutrative sweeteners, but.. and this is a BIG but.. the whole thing is predicated on the notion that fruits and vegetables are good for humans, and it is NOT. Human ancestors have eaten fatty meat for at least 4.5 MILLION years, and only recently started eating plants (less than 12.000 years ago), with disastrous health outcomes. We are, today, not very different and would be WAY better off not eating plants, and eating regeneratively raised meat, and pasture raised eggs, and drink water. You can learn about the effects of sugar here, but all the advice what to eat instead are horrible..
