The Sugar Casino

I really enjoyed to read this book, it gives lot of intersting facts about sugar and sugar industry. I didn't like very much the praise he maid about industrial actors like "Cargill", it was a bit too much, that's true that their job is usefull, but everybody knows that they don't do that for moral reasons, it is for money..Also I would have like to have an overview of the sugar cane growing which I missed in this book.Anyway, it's a really nice book, I recommend.

a fews years ago i red a fascinating book..."SALT,A WORLD HISTORY. from MARK KURLANSKY.."..this is a book in the same vein and also different.....it is not a history of sugar but a very complete and detailed analysis of this very important staple in our life...obviously the guy ,JONATHAN KINGSMAN, knows what he is talking about,having been a sugar trader and one of the most important sugar analyst in the business.....some might be repelled by a lot of statistics, i was not since numbers tends to explain a lot of behavioural facts......what i retain the most out of that brilliant book wich is explained in detail... is this intriguing fact..........."sugar does not bring diabete....sugar in excess brings obesity wich will bring diabete......"perfect gift for the holidays........

very comprehensive book on every aspect of sugar. not just for those in the sugar business, this book gives excellent arguments why sugardoes not make you fat. if you think sugar gives kids a "sugar rush" or buzz, then you are a moron, and probably won't be swayed by the cogent arguments in this book. if you have an open mind, then this book provides evidence that you can follow up and confirm or refute yourself.the book also covers sugar's history in the slave trade and so many other aspects. there are chapters on numerous sugar people from the sugar trade. there is a chapter on me,where the author is too kind. this book was a labour of love by one of the most highly respected chaps in the sugar trade, and one of the nicest guys. do your self a favour and check it out.

Für den Verbraucher gibt das Buch wertvolle, aktuelle Informationen über Zucker als Lebens- und Genussmittel. Das heutige Ernährungsverhalten in vielen Ländern wird beleuchtet.
