Kessler explains how we can reduce heart disease, keep weight off, and reduce chronic disease"-- Unprecedented numbers of us suffer from obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other debilitating illnesses.

We can no longer afford to dismiss the consequences of eating food that is designed to be rapidly absorbed as sugar in our bodies. -- adapted from jacket Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-286) and index Introduction: The birth of fast carbs -- Trapped in food chaos -- How food stopped sustaining us -- WEight -- Metabolic chaos -- Heart disease -- The optimal diet -- Epilogue: In the public interest: changing our food environment
