PURE WHITE AND DEADLY JOHN YUDKIN PDF - 29 Sep Pure, White and Deadly by John Yudkin. It is killing us. Why do we eat so much of it? What are its hidden dangers?
So, just to make sure I go on losing weight, I decided to read Pure, White, and Deadly, over and over again.The last chapter shows a pockmarked battlefield where sugar's sacred guardians keep on belittling John Yudkin, the author. They employ sneaky tactics to relegate the author's studies to crackpot theory land.I first heard of this book from another one; Fat Chance by Robert H. Fat Chance is very informative.
But though it's the successor to Yudkin's book, and has modern statistics at hand, Pure, White, and Deadly is the better book, by sheer force of the intellect. I read this book in 1972 when it first came out. I wish that I had remembered it and stayed away from sugar. Now i have read it again and i recommend it to anyone who values their health. Yudkin believed, based on research and observation, that it is sugar not fat which causes coronary artery disease. His research was ignored in favour of the big anti fat message propagated first by Ancel Keys and then by the US health organisations. Yudkin shows how Keys research was faulty.

Now i have read it again and i recommend it to anyone who values their health. Yudkin believed, based on research and observation, that it is sugar not fat which causes coronary artery disease. His research was ignored in favour of the big anti fat message propagated first by Ancel Keys and then by the US health organisations. Yudkin shows how Keys research was faulty. Penguin has reissued the book this year although you can still find and download the pdf version. 3.5 Stars to be precise.
Although aspects of Yudkin's work are outdated and the science has come a long way, the central core to his thesis - refined sugar (sucrose) is a poison and we should be working towards limiting it, and not increasing it, in our diets - was visionary. Sadly, it was a cry that went unheeded, especially in the United States, where not long after this 1972 publication, we began to add exponential amounts of sugar to our diets in the form of High Fructose Corn Syrup. (Thank 3.5 Stars to be precise.

Sadly, it was a cry that went unheeded, especially in the United States, where not long after this 1972 publication, we began to add exponential amounts of sugar to our diets in the form of High Fructose Corn Syrup. (Thank you President Nixon & US Farm subsidies, but I digress.) At the time of its publication, Yudkin was essentially a lone wolf and his ideas seemed so radical, despite the commonly known mal-affects such as tooth decay, no one else was crying 'Poison!'
Many of his health predictions - the drastic increase in the number of people in our population who suffer from diabetes, obesity, and other health issues such as acid reflux (he terms indigestion) and gout is undeniable. Sadly, it seems unlikely that we are any closer to heeding his advice now then we were then.There are 2 claims of his I do dispute:1) Artificial sweetener is perfectly safe.2) Brown and wholegrain breads are nutritionally the same as (enriched)refined white flour breads.Here, the science though still disputed by some, has generally shown otherwise.
Certainly, there are other parts of his work where medical knowledge, especially regarding diabetes, has greatly improved as well as changed, since the nature of the disease itself has evolved.Yudkin died in 1995, just as the 'diabesity' crisis was visibly growing. At the time Yudkin wrote his work, the sugar consumption in the U.K. Was around 120 lbs per person per year - which was a number he found to be abhorrent. The USDA now estimates that Americans now (2012) consume, on average, 156 lbs of sugar and high fructose corn syrup.
Food for thought indeed!I stumbled across Yudkin's work because of watching a medical lecture by Dr. Lustig on YouTube, who cited Yudkin, anyone interested in Yudkin's work should find it of interest.
(FYI:It's 1.5 hours). This is one of the best, most interesting, educational books I have read in a long time. It was out of my comfort zone. Besides teaching me a bit about sugar and nutrition, it also taught me a bit about the influences of politics. An area I have struggled to understand, and show an interest.
I have definatly reduced my sugar consumption after reading this book. Not just white sugar, but glucose fructose. I do not believe that there is 1 cause for obesity, and health issues, but too much of anyth This is one of the best, most interesting, educational books I have read in a long time.

I do not believe that there is 1 cause for obesity, and health issues, but too much of anything isn't good. This book delves into the north american diet, and the amount of sugar we consume, regularly, and how the food industry is increasing it all the time, to improve flavour. It's not sugar that's causing health problems, diabetes, cholesterol, weight gain,.speaking sarcastically. No! We have to reduce fat and carbohydrates.
This is a very interesting book. Not to long, educational, and a great read! 'Yeah, the old white train costs a lot to rideYour heart, your soul and even your prideDamn sure forever, it'll freeze your brainSo take a little advice, stay away from the old white trainTake a little advice, stay away from the old white train.' SmithWe watch Mad Men, and see Betty dropping cigarette ash over her children, and Don lighting up the moment he swings his legs out of bed, and it all seems kind of quaint. I wonder if in the Mad Men of the future, they'll laugh and be shock 'Yeah, the old white train costs a lot to rideYour heart, your soul and even your prideDamn sure forever, it'll freeze your brainSo take a little advice, stay away from the old white trainTake a little advice, stay away from the old white train.'

I wonder if in the Mad Men of the future, they'll laugh and be shocked at how we smilingly pushed sweets into the hands of children we didn't even hate.Professor Yudkin died unloved and unrecognised, defeated by the evil Ancel Keys and his 'It's the fat what kills you' hypothesis, which suited the sugar industry, not least because the new healthy low-fat foods needed flavour, which comes, of course, from sugar (go and look on the ingredients list sometime).
Well, it turns out that it was 'It is the sugar what kills you' hypothesis that was right all along. But we knew that.
Rober Lustig told us so (watch.Sugar the Bitter Truth: ). I read this as a companion piece to Robert Lustig's Fat Chance. Lustig pays huge respect to his predecessor Yudkin, who back in the 50s, 60s & 70s was researching the negative consequences of a high sugar diet.
Pure White and Deadly was originally published in the early 70s.Both books demonstrate what a clear and present danger sugar is. Lustig's is more up-to-date in that he incorporates new knowledge about our hormonal systems but both men come to a similar conclusion - we should avoid sug I read this as a companion piece to Robert Lustig's Fat Chance.

Lustig's is more up-to-date in that he incorporates new knowledge about our hormonal systems but both men come to a similar conclusion - we should avoid sugar as much as possible.Yudkin was up against the American scientist Ancel Keys, who insisted that animal fat, not sugar, was harmful to health. The discovery in the 70s that high cholesterol in the bloodstream correlated to heart disease initially appeared to vindicate Keys, and governments in both the USA and Europe got behind Keys's 'high carbohydrate - low fat diet' and since then we have had decades of indoctrination. Yudkin was forgotten & his book went out of print.But now it appears Yudkin was right and Keys entirely wrong.Poor Yudkin struggled so bravely against overwhelming odds - his final shocking chapter recounts the manifold instances of sabotage and bullying perpetrated against him by the food industry - it seems unfair to wonder if it was something about his style which failed to persuade originally.
He was an elite scientist (as is Lustig) writing for a mass audience, so tries to explain his concepts very carefully: perhaps too carefully, as I felt spoken down to a bit. Also, his many careful explanations tend create a meandering experience which detracts from a strong central argument.
Perhaps also he was an academic captive in his ivory tower, wedded to the idea that scientific truth on its own merits would prevail over falsehood and ignorance. Lustig is far more politically minded, and fully understands the nature of the fight against Big Sugar: explicitly comparing it to the fight against the tobacco industry.Yudkin's book is interesting now from an historical perspective, and also because he fills in research around some medical conditions Lustig leaves out - but as I implied above, Lustig creates a very strong and persuasive central argument that ties sugar to the spiralling obesity and metabolic syndrome problems of North America and Europe. Therefore, I would recommend Fat Chance above Pure White and Deadly. Is sugar worse than fat? Is Sugar just as bad as High Fructose Corn Syrup? Should we have this in our food supply? Should we all go back to eating what our grandmother's cooked?
Do the kids of today know that package food is a fairly new invention? My own kids had never seen a Brussels sprout stock or the green tops of carrots. We have moved so far away from our natural food sources that many kids are actually surprised to find a friend at school who has veggies in their lunchbox. One child even Is sugar worse than fat?

We have moved so far away from our natural food sources that many kids are actually surprised to find a friend at school who has veggies in their lunchbox. One child even asked my son, 'what are you eating? My son was eating plain fresh spinach.
Take a look in the lunchboxes of children and you'll discover a high sugar, low fiber, low nutrient meal and these children are eating this every single day! It's worse after school when their tired parents cook up what they think is a natural healthy meal from the freezer section, and adding insult to injury, rarely include a fruit and or vegetable with that meal.Is type II Diabetes a real disease or did we create it by putting sugar, salt, fat and HFCS in our food? This book has a lot of details that will cause non-nutritionist to zone out, but read it anyway and skip those parts.
You'll still understand the book and learn why the Sugar Industry has so much power and influence over your food supply and why you cannot stop the madness simply by choosing NOT to eat it. You may also discover that artificial sweeteners are no worse for you than plain old sugar, a concept I could not grasp until now. They're both TERRIBLE for you. Again, grandma didn't put much sugar or sweetener in her cooking.
Cook like grandma and stop buying food in bags. Pull it out of the ground or off of a tree. (Obviously buy what came from the earth - not all of us can have gardens and orchards). It's not an easy read, but this is a thoroughly remarkable book and one that should be at the top of the reading list for anyone with an interest in what they eat or how the food industry operates.Pure, White and Deadly aroused a furious reaction when it was first published and the sugar industry tried, with some success, to discredit Yudkin and his work, preferring to cast fat as the part of our diets that causes ill-health, obesity, heart disease, etc. This new edition also lists some of the l It's not an easy read, but this is a thoroughly remarkable book and one that should be at the top of the reading list for anyone with an interest in what they eat or how the food industry operates.Pure, White and Deadly aroused a furious reaction when it was first published and the sugar industry tried, with some success, to discredit Yudkin and his work, preferring to cast fat as the part of our diets that causes ill-health, obesity, heart disease, etc.
This new edition also lists some of the lengths the sugar business went to in its quest to shut him up.Yudkin was far ahead of his time. These days it is becoming increasingly clear that the villain is the white stuff. Maybe in a few years sugar will be up there alongside tobacco. This could be the most important book on nutrition I have ever read and if you plan to read only one on this subject, than look no further. Despite having a bombastic and somewhat populistic title the contents present a well written view by a researcher who spent his life exploring the effects of sucrose on our bodies.
His findings are nothing less than a cause for a serious alarm on our diets (on some aspects I would still call them conservative), yet nothing much seems to happen.

His findings are nothing less than a cause for a serious alarm on our diets (on some aspects I would still call them conservative), yet nothing much seems to happen. Sugar produces craving, and craving produces profits for producers. And in a system where even diseases and suffering can be turned into a profitable business, we are lucky to at least have a few books like these.
Short version of this book: sugar is terrible for you and there is absolutely no reason for you to consume it.It's not exactly a huge revelation today, but this book was published in 1972 and then mostly forgotten. It's interesting to see Yudkin come up with a lot of ideas that are now generally accepted but were ignored for decades. The author even speculates on the advantages of a diet based on paleolithic man - that is, he lays out an argument for the Paleo Diet before that term ever existed Short version of this book: sugar is terrible for you and there is absolutely no reason for you to consume it.It's not exactly a huge revelation today, but this book was published in 1972 and then mostly forgotten.

With the republications, the stats end in the 1980s.
This also means it doesn't cover the rise of high fructose corn syrup, although Yudkin does mention it as a new way of sugar processing. With the right context, it's interesting to read as a snapshot of health concerns of the 80s and why things only got worse.I came to this book by way of Dr.
Robert Lustig who seems to have taken up the anti-sugar crusade where Ludkin stopped. His interviews and lectures are probably more relevant to today, but this book is still a pretty good piece of popular nutritional science. I first heard about this from Dr. Robert Lustig's proclamation of being an apostle of Yudkin. This was during his 'Sugar, The Bitter Truth' viral YouTube sensation.
I believe Yudkin was really going against the grain when he published this work, and his forward details this. Whenever you speak about something that has the potential to make large, powerful groups lose money, you will see a backlash. Unfortunately, much of what the author proclaims in the book has readily been ignored. In fact, th I first heard about this from Dr. Robert Lustig's proclamation of being an apostle of Yudkin.

Unfortunately, much of what the author proclaims in the book has readily been ignored. In fact, this book was difficult to find thirty years after it was written. I can imagine the sugar industry checking out these books and having a massive bonfire.Yudkin goes into detail on how sucrose has risen steadily in use throughout the World - not just the United States. He explains how sucrose is produced - and that it once was quite expensive due to how much refinement goes into extracting the substance from sugar cane or beet.
Another 'food stuff' that is lab-created behind the scenes of public scrutiny.While I don't agree with Yudkin on everything, including some of his dietary advice - he is right on the money on the topic at hand. Sugar is 'Pure' and deadly. It is likely that sucrose and other forms of sugar are highly correlated with many diseases, cancers and metabolic disorders. Will we change our ways? This book may be is a little bit dated, but still has a great line: the true behind factual data about sugar.I came to this book by the recommendation does in his youtube famous conference: You can't image how bad is the sugar for us, the humans.

Around the same time, Ancel Keys an American scientist argued that dietary fat was the primary cause of heart disease. Keys' view became accepted in the US and paved the way to continued heart disease and a growing obesity problem.

I was impressed that he saw all this well before others (this book was published in 1972). So I had high expectations as I started to read this book. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I got from this book which is why I gave it such a low rating and maybe that's why he lost the debate. “But science should be based in fact, not fashion.
And policy should be based on science. Facts shouldn’t change. And indeed, they don’t.

But their interpretation does. Consider the idea that inflammation causes heart disease. First espoused in the late 1800s after the invention of aspirin by Bayer, this idea was relegated to the dustbin of medical science in favor of the cholesterol hypothesis, which reigned for the second half of the twentieth century. But over the last decade, the “inflammation hypothesis” has made a decided comeback, and is now thought to be the primary factor in the genesis of atherosclerotic plaques and thrombosis.”—.
