About this deal

Another told me she had signed the letter because the BMJ should not have published an article that was not peer reviewed (it was peer reviewed). More generally, he argued, excessive sucrose consumption provokes a metabolic disturbance that has several undesirable results.

It is edging away from prohibitions on cholesterol and fat, and hardening its warnings on sugar, without going so far as to perform a reverse turn.

At the same time, there was a marked increase in papers by newcomers to the field, who were less likely to cite the work of the deceased eminence.

Obesity rates in the UKare now 10 times what they were when it was first published and the amount of sugar we eat has increased 31. When devising their low-fat products, manufacturers had needed a fat substitute to stop the food tasting like cardboard, and they had plumped for sugar. Today, articles, columns and programmes on sugar have become ubiquitous and are too numerous to count.

A review of 100 international nutrition reports up to 1991 [21] found that 70 included quantitative targets for fat and only 23 for sugar. The Wikipedia article on John Yudkin includes references to several articles on ‘’Pure, White and Deadly’’ in both the medical press and the lay press down to the year 2016. But, as Gary Taubes puts it, obese people are not fat because they are overeating and sedentary – they are overeating and sedentary because they are fat, or getting fatter. In the UK, the 1984 update of the COMA report on diet and cardiovascular disease [22] did not mention Pure, White and Deadly or Yudkin. A Telegraph Top 10 Diet Book, Pure White and Deadly by John Yudkin is a must-read for those concerned with how much sugar we consume every day.
