It is called  Dannato Zucchero , it was released recently by Gribaudo, and it is the book by the Australian actor and director Damon Gameau, which tells about his personal experiment with hidden sugar: after eating what he considered a healthy diet but which was actually full of hidden sugars, Damon gained weight and got progressively ill. Only by doing research, he was able to identify the cause of his discomfort: sugar, which is omnipresent in industrial foods. From this experience Gameau had already drawn a documentary , That Sugar Film: as also in the book ,in the film Gameau denounces how behind a harmless diet, often also addressed to children and teenagers, kilos of hidden sugar are hidden to threaten health and waistline

In two months, the actor tells how he gained eight kilos and ten centimeters of waist by eating food that everyone would consider healthy: cereal bars and muesli, fruit compotes, sauces, fruit juices, yogurt in profusion, mix of dehydrated fruit and dry. Counting the teaspoons of sugar in a breakfast made of low-fat yogurt, a cup of cereal and an apple juice, you get 20 teaspoons of sugar. In a day, that’s 40 teaspoons! Then, if you eat canned soups, sandwich bread, and consume an iced tea or a carbonated drink, the risk of increasing the cm on the waist increases significantly! How to get out? Learning to read labels!
