  1. 1. Metabolical by Arnost Lustig

    The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine

    This book argues that the modern epidemic of metabolic disease—from obesity and type 2 diabetes to heart disease and many cancers—is largely driven by ultra-processed foods (especially added sugars and refined carbohydrates) and by food-industry and medical-system incentives that obscure root causes and prioritize treatment over prevention. It explains how certain ingredients and food-processing practices disrupt metabolism, hormones, and the microbiome, surveys the science linking diet to chronic illness, and documents how corporate lobbying and flawed regulatory frameworks perpetuate harmful products. The author concludes with practical dietary guidance favoring whole foods and policy recommendations (labeling, taxation, and marketing restrictions) designed to realign incentives toward better public health.
