“This book took the typical American foods we eat and find in grocery stores and restaurants and showed how so much is built on fat, sugar and salt. Really no big revelation there, but it helps to see to see the research and findings together and to think more about the food we eat. I found myself talking with others a lot about this as I read it. It is a useful thing to read.”

“Another case where I wished that I could give a half star or a 'Meh, *shrug* it was OK'. Interesting enough and very well researched. Very scientific. Reads like a textbook. I skimmed quite a bit of it rather than actually reading it. ”

“I suppose saying I didn't like it is not accurate. It was okay. It is very scientific, very detailed and I felt like saying; "okay, on with it!"

1 of 1 members found this review helpful“Incredibly interesting results presented in a fabulously boring way. Perhaps it's because I read this immediately after reading William Dufty's Sugar Blues (admittedly not the most scientifically rigorous book), but even Kressler's strongest statements seemed weak and a redundant. Reading this book was a bit like being hit over the head with a soft, inflatable hammer for 4 hours. ”
