The landmark New York Times best seller that reveals how the explosion of sugar in our diets has created an obesity epidemic, and what we can do to save ourselves.
Robert Lustig is at the forefront of war against sugar -- showing us that it's toxic, it's addictive, and it's everywhere because the food companies want it to be. His 90-minute YouTube video "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" has been viewed more than 7 million times. Now, in this landmark book, he documents the science and the politics that have led to personal misery and public crisis -- the pandemic of obesity and chronic disease--over the last thirty years. In the late 1970s, when the U.S. government declared that we needed to get the fat out of our diets, the food industry responded by pumping in more sugar to make food more palatable (and more salable), and by removing the fiber to make food last longer on the shelf. The result has been a perfect storm for our health, disastrously altering our biochemistry to make us think we're starving, drive our eating habits out of our control, and turn us into couch potatoes. If we cannot control how we eat, it's because of the catastrophic excess of sugar in our diet--the resulting hormonal imbalances have rewired our brains To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents strategies we can each use to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress, as well as societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. With scientific rigor and even a little humor, Fat Chance categorically proves that "a calorie is not a calorie," and takes that knowledge to its logical conclusion--an overhaul of the global food system.Binding Type: Paperback

heavenly.
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
UGH, i'm so obsessed with these pillows!! they're so comfortable, adjustable, AND perfect in general. they're so fluffy when you get them, but you can take out as much of the memory foam as you'd want. what i really like about these pillows is, the ability to unzip the pillow & wash when desired (please read the instructions!) 💫. i sleep a lottt better compared to my other pillows, i highly recommend to get you some of these 🙂↕️✨✨. i'm not sure about a "cooling effect" since i have a pillow case over them, but they stay a neutral temperature where it's comfortable. i'm definitely going to back soon to buy the body pillow and a case (or two!) to revive old pillows (which i also love!). they come in a pair, so it's HIGHLY worth it, get them rnnn!!

Shocked
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I'm really bougie when it comes to pillows. I've never spent less than $50 on a pillow. I'm a side sleeper and like firm support, but also want something soft. I almost ordered the really pricey pillows on Amazon, but was turned off by all the odor complaints. I needed something quick to at least hold me over until I could get exactly what I want, so I took a shot with this pillow with the plan of it being a temporary fix. However, this pillow turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. The first time I laid on it I was skeptical. It had support, but felt like it may have been too soft. It took a bit to get accustomed to, but by the second night I knew this is the pillow. No chemical odors, it's quality at a low cost. I figured this pillow would've been quickly replaced and put into the leg pillow rotation, but it is shockingly a really great pillow. It is not lumpy, stays way cooler than standard or shredded memory foam and is comfy. Hopefully it holds up for a long time. I've paid triple what these 2 pillows cost for a single pillow that isn't as good.

Favorite pillows
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
These pillows are amazing! They are huge and plush but you can change that if you prefer. I really like that the outside cover can be washed and is also filled. It held up great in the washer and dryer. I just followed the directions on the tag. Great price for the quality and look very nice and fluffed on the bed.

Good option
Color: White, Size: Body(Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the ACCURATEX Full Body Pillow for Adults – Hybrid Shredded Memory Foam for a few weeks now, and overall I’m really happy with it. The blend of shredded memory foam gives it a firm, supportive feel, but what I love most is that you can adjust the filling to get the exact firmness you want. Whether you prefer something more structured or slightly softer, it’s easy to customize by adding or removing foam.
Comfort-wise, it’s definitely a step up from standard body pillows. It keeps its shape throughout the night and offers great support for side sleeping. That said, it is a bit firmer out of the box than I expected, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
If you’re looking for a body pillow that won’t go flat and lets you tweak the feel to your liking, this one is a solid choice.

Favorite pillow!!
Color: White, Size: Body(Pack of 1)
I honestly wasn’t expecting to love this pillow as much as I do. Buying pillows online always feels risky because you can’t actually feel them beforehand, but this ended up being one of the best blind buys I’ve made on Amazon. The quality is genuinely shocking for the price. It feels way more expensive than it is. It’s insanely comfortable, supportive without feeling stiff, and just has that “perfect” cozy feel. I have neck problems, so I’m really picky about pillows, and this one somehow manages to be the perfect balance. It’s supportive without being stiff or overstuffed, but also not too flat where your neck feels unsupported. It has that perfect “sink in but still supportive” feel that’s hard to find. I loved the body pillow version so much that less than a week later I’m already ordering the regular pillow version too. Easily 5 stars from me!!
