Gary Taubes on the Case Against Sugar

Gary Taubes talks with host Russ Roberts about his latest book, The Case Against Sugar. He argues that there is substantial circumstantial evidence that sugar is the underlying cause of many health problems--diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Taubes concedes the evidence is not iron-clad or definitive and reflects along the way on the intellectual and personal challenges of holding a strong view in the face of significant skepticism.
