Sour on Sugar Industry: MET Lecturer Gary Taubes
The sugar industry would have you believe that there is no solid, specific link between sugar consumption and weight gain. But award-winning health and science journalist Gary Taubes, who recently delivered a lecture on the subject as part of MET Food & Wine’s Pépin Lecture Series, writes in the New York Times that many industry findings are misleading, and even believes sugar “may have prematurely killed more people than tobacco.”
On Thursday, January 12, Taubes—author of The Case Against Sugar—gave a lecture of the same name, co-sponsored by Programs in Food & Wine and the MET Gastronomy program. Read more of Taubes’ conclusions in the New York Times.
