Sugars and Sweeteners
Sugars and Sweeteners is a comprehensive volume examining the supposed role of sugar as a causative agent in hyperactivity, coronary artery disease, diabetes, dental caries, and other afflictions, as well as the chemistry of sugar and the metabolism of simple sugars, disaccharides, and sugar alcohols. It also explores the history of sugar in several areas worldwide, including Europe and southeast Asia.
