I had planned to read it straight through, but got bored in chapter two (despite the very good information presented - there's just a lot of it) and set the book aside for months. I recently picked it back up and flipped to a later chapter, determined to read at least the parts that most interested me, but by the time I'd flipped between all the chapters that captured my interest, I realized I'd read the whole book after all. Every person should have the information on sweeteners presented here, and every U.S. citizen needs to know this information on the FDA. If even only 5% of what's presented here is true (and I suspect there's a lot more truth here than that), it's still a worthwhile read. I've long suspected that the FDA was out to protect business over the consumer, and there is so much evidence here that confirms my suspicions, it disgusts me. I found the interview with Dr. David Graham, the FDA whistle-blower, especially interesting. There's some scary stuff presented here. Read it and judge its value for yourself. Learn about the chemicals we use to sweeten our foods and about the desperate need for reform in the FDA, or bury your head in the sand and pretend everything is okey-dokey. Personally, I want to know as much as possible about the things I ingest, and I'm very glad I read this book and now have more knowledge in these matters. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Touted as the miracle solution for dieters with a sweet tooth, artificial sweeteners have taken over the food industry. But are they really safe? According to authors Dr. Joseph Mercola and Dr. Kendra Degen Pearsall, no. In Sweet Deception, they tell you how and why they think artificial sweeteners may contribute to our skyrocketing rates of cancer, obesity, diabetes and more, You?ll see inside the motives of multinational corporations and the FDA as they promote these sweeteners as safe for consumption. Learn how to establish a healthy diet that includes real sweeteners and refuse to be manipulated by industries that care more about their bottom line than the health of you or your family. You see the little packets of artificial sweeteners laid out for you whenever you go to a restaurant. There they are in pink, blue and yellow-the friendly colors of baby clothes. They?ve been approved by the FDA and they?ve been around for decades. They?re in all your diet sodas and snacks. But there?s a nagging question at the back of your mind when you see them. Are these really safe?
We?re seeing strokes, cancers, Alzheimer?s and autism in record numbers and those numbers are climbing. It wasn?nt always like this. Although not the only cause, artificial sweeteners are a contributing factor to these problems. They are completely unnatural, insufficiently tested for safety, unnecessary in the diet, and have a long history of causing health problems. They are powerful examples of the world of nutrition going crazy. Your body works best when it is given goods as they originally found in nature, as you distant ancestors ate them for many thousands of years-certainly long before a series of accidental chemical spills gifted us with the first artificial sweeteners. In reading this book, you?ll find yourself realizing the benefits of a healthy diet and even developing a distaste for these dangerous chemicals in your food and drinks. And after reading all of the information Drs. Mercola and Pearsall have to offer, you?ll find yourself agreeing that artificial sweeteners are to be avoided at all costs.

If you eat, you should read this book. Dr. Mercola goes on about the history and industry of artificial sweetners and the FDA. You may or may not agree with his worries over artificial sweetners, but you should at least peek under the hood and see who the FDA actually protects and how it operates.
