Sugar is toxic, addictive and everywhere. So what chance do you have of living sugar-free? We all know the obvious culprits when it comes to sugar, but now Dr Robert Lustig reveals how much is hidden in our diet.

'Fat Chance' exposes the political and business interests behind our modern diet, and shows why exercise and the latest food fads won't work for everyone who wants to get fitter. The real key to regulating our hunger is to understand why every calorie is different. Cutting out sugar is not just about making us thin — it's about giving us more than a fat chance of a healthier, happier and smarter life!
