An insightful book about the various ways fructose wreak havoc on the human body. You could almost see it as an anti-nutrient, if supplied in a high concentration. Like all substances, the dose makes the poison. After hearing about the concepts in the podcast of Peter Attia, I wanted to learn more about the research that Prof. Richard Johnson and his colleagues had done to support his claims. Surprising to me were the relationship with yeast and umami foods to uric acid and its further effects on blood pressure. I will definitely reread parts of this book in the future.
