Description



Book Synopsis



Do you have a sweet tooth? This book is for you. Suspicious of sugar? This book is also for you.

From blackened royal teeth to artificial sweeteners and big business, this witty nonfiction book reveals the surprising science and politics behind our love of sweet things.

Everyone seems to have an opinion about sugar and other sweeteners. But how much do you know about the sweet stuff that permeates our lives?

  • Why do we feel so good when we taste sweetness?
  • Why did Queen Elizabeth I's teeth turn black?
  • How did we discover artificial sweeteners?
  • How does corporate greed drive our love of sweet treats?
  • How much sugar does the average American consume each year?

With humor and honesty Chris Barton and Irene Chan reveal the science, history, and politics of all things sweet.
