Are we committing gastronomical suicide? That's the question posed in this eye-opening examination of the sugar industry and, in particular, the effects of sugar on human beings. After a brief introduction covering the history and making of sugar, narrator John Rubinstein consults a wide range of authorities--including Linus Pauling, Lendon Smith, and Sheldon Reiser--on subjects ranging from diseases directly linked to sugar consumption to the possible connection between sugar and crime. 200 years ago, the average human being consumed 4 lbs. of sugar a year--today that figure has jumped to 129 lbs. The Sugar Trap is an excellent consumer awareness program about the perils of indulging the sweet tooth. Highly recommended. (See THE OLD FOREST for availability).
