I would like to know if it is really true that excessive consumption of sugar can eventually lead to the development of heart related conditions or any other threatening medical conditions. I would also like to know the truth about this book. If anyone has some valuable information about the book of Taubes i need some help.

And it warrants rereading. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. @Tim Part of what Taubes describes is the role the media played, and specifically the New York Times' food and health writer in advancing the low-fat, high-carb mantra against what was then the conventional wisdom you describe. I then cascaded uncritically through the wider press. @Methuselah Perhaps I'll give the unsweetened cocoa a second chance. Tim @Charles

I have been wondering whether its the association with sugar that gives it this attraction. I also love hazelnuts, as they remind be of Cadbury's nut chocolate from my school days...

I've often said to people worrying about their fat intake "fat doesn't make you fat; sugar does. Fat clogs your arteries" based on nothing more than received wisdom. Interesting.

I've been reading on this subject for a few decades (read the Yudkin book when it came out) and Gary's book just blew me away. If you like this kind of thing at all, it reads like a novel, or a detective story. I couldn't put it down. Okay, I'm weird that way. And if you want to see a quick and funny (or shocking) analysis of the whole fat vs. cholesterol vs. sugar thing, check out Peter's blog post: http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/2009/03/cholesterol-within-nations-studies.html The Taubes book is probably the best and most thoroughly-researched book on the subject ever.
