Hi, I'm Gary Taubes, science journalist and author of "The Case Against Sugar." Ask me anything, Reddit!

My latest book, The Case Against Sugar, argues that sugar is the new tobacco: backed by powerful lobbies, entrenched in our lives, and making us very sick. Ask me anything about sugar and its effects on our health, diet, American’s history with sugar, and our addiction to sweets.

Ok. Signing off. Thanks for all your comments and kind words.
