This revised and updated study of sugar reinforces Yudkin's belief that sugar can contribute to many of our most prolific diseases including diabetes, liver and heart disease. He claims that children and adult health could be much improved if more care was taken to eliminate sugar intake. Sugar is common enough in all our lives, and almost everyone believes that it is simply an attractive sweet - one of many carbohydrates in the diet of civilized countries.
