Together they trace his argument from the dangers of sugar to the wider crisis of ultra-processed food, giving an evidence-based picture of why modern diets drive chronic disease. Ideal for health-conscious adults and gift buyers alike. About the Books Fat Chance, Dr Lustig's New York Times bestseller, first exposed sugar as toxic, addictive and hidden throughout the modern food supply. He explains why low-fat advice fails, why not all calories are equal, and how excess sugar drives illness even without weight gain, unpacking the food industry's role in hiding sugar and offering guidance on foods to cut. Metabolical builds on this foundation, widening the lens from sugar alone to the entire category of ultra-processed food. Dr Lustig argues that our dependence on processed products - enabled by the food industry, big agriculture, big pharma, institutional medicine and government policy - is the true root cause behind soaring rates of diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, cancer and dementia. Rather than accepting these as inevitable parts of ageing, Metabolical reframes them as preventable metabolic dysfunction and lays out a practical plan for individuals and society to return to real, unprocessed food. Read together, the two books move from diagnosis to full exposé, arming readers with both the urgent facts about sugar and the wider systemic picture of how processed food damages health and the environment. Two influential, evidence-based nutrition titles from a NYT bestselling author in one paperback set Covers the specific dangers of sugar and the wider crisis of ultra-processed food Practical, actionable guidance - clear food lists and real-world tips for cutting sugar and processed food Accessible, conversational style balancing rigorous science with everyday advice Great for personal reading, book club discussion, or as a thoughtful health-focused gift Brand new paperback copies, easy to carry, share and revisit About the Author Dr Robert H. Lustig is a paediatric neuroendocrinologist and professor emeritus at UCSF, where he spent decades treating childhood obesity and researching sugar's effects on metabolism. His widely viewed lecture "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" brought sugar science to a mass audience, and his books, including Fat Chance and Metabolical, established him as a leading voice in nutrition science. Why You'll Love This Set Together, Fat Chance and Metabolical deliver a complete, science-backed case for rethinking what we eat - clear, urgent and genuinely practical, for anyone ready to take control of their health.
