About this episode
We all know sugar is bad for us, and “sugar addiction” is a real thing and very hard to shake with so much food noise around us. Food industry giants bombard media with tempting snacks often disguised as health food, even diet food that is packed with sugar. Our guest, science journalist Nina Teicholz, is a best selling NYT bestselling author of “The Big Fat Surprise” and is shaking up the nutrition world with often controversial guidance on what to eat. We delve into what sugar actually does to your body, which health risks it exasperates and even how the sugar industry is endangering lives beyond it’s consumption.
