“Pure, White and Deadly” by John Yudkin (Revised 1986 – Original 1972)

Here is a link to this book (a PDF scan found on the internet) concerning the dangers of sugar (the original publication in 1972 predating high fructose corn syrup issues).  This book is currently out of publication.  This author’s views remarkably predicted our future reality.   John Yudkin – Pure White and Deadly (revised 1986) OCR PDF

Here is what the author, John Yudkin, wrote at the conclusion of Chapter 1:

“I hope that when you have read this book I shall have convinced you that sugar is really dangerous. At the very least, I hope I shall have persuaded you that it might be dangerous. Now add to this the fact – the indubitable fact – that neither you nor your children need to take any sugar at all, or foods or drinks made with it, in order to enjoy a completely healthy and highly nutritious diet. If as a result you now give up all or most of your sugar eating – and I shall show you later that this is not too difficult – I shall not have wasted my time in writing this book, and more importantly you will not have wasted your time in reading it.”

Apple Inc’s co-founder Steve Wozniak disagrees with jury’s decision in Samsung case

In a Sept 13, 2012 article from his recent interview with Bloomberg News, Steve Wozniak,  Apple’s co-founder, disagreed with the California jury’s decision in the Apple v. Samsung case.  The article explains that Apple was awarded more than $1 billion last month by a California jury that said Samsung copied the iPhone’s design.  Samsung is appealing the decision.

The Bloomberg article reports Wozniak’s remarks:

“I hate it,” Wozniak said when asked about the patent fights between Apple and Samsung. “I don’t think the decision of California will hold. And I don’t agree with it — very small things I don’t really call that innovative.” “I wish everybody would just agree to exchange all the patents and everybody can build the best forms they want to use everybody’s technologies.”

Be careful what you wish for Mr. Wozniak.
