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.”
