„We are what we eat!“
A phrase that for most merely sounds like a harmless appeal to
a sensible approach to food ... Once you’ve read Hans-Ulrich
Grimm, it sounds both scary and threatening: For many years
the uncoverer and bestselling author has made it his mission to
warn consumers against the dangers of the food industry.
For his new book, Guaranteed Hazardous to Your
Health: How the Sugar Mafia Makes Us Ill, Grimm
describes the enormous health risks from too much sugar
consumption and targets the “Sugar Mafia”, an ominous
network of industry, a practice of subsidies, influenced
politicians, paid-for research and lobbyism.
Since its release in March, the book sold more than 40.000
copies and has now been on the
bestseller list
continuously for 7 weeks (4 of which in the Top Ten).
The total number of Grimm copies published in Germany
amounts to more than 750.000 copies; translation rights
have been sold to France, Italy, Czech Republic, Poland,
Hungary, Latvia, Russia, Korea, China and Japan.

Additives may ruin one’s health
Where does the taste come from in ready-to-serve meals?
What puts the colour in sweets? We have all heard of additives
such as glutamate and aspartame.
But what does all this really mean, and what is behind E 965, E
650 and all the other contents referred to in the smallprint? It is
clear that the wonderful world of chemistry is not only a danger
to the heart and the brain – it may even be fatal.
This standard work on chemicals in one’s food is an
encyclopaedia of food additives and their dangers, especially to
highrisk groups.
Extremely helpful required reading for anyone who wishes to
know what it is he eats.
A Grimm “classic” on food additives, but now in a
completely revised new edition

and not only taste good, but also fill us up without
making us fat and are supposed to be so healthy that
they increase our life expectancy?

Dr. Hans-Ulrich Grimm
is an author and journalist. His year-long research in
the world of industrialized foodstuffs resulted in his
emptying his kitchen of all the products
manufactured by Nestle, Knorr, etc, in favour of fresh
goods from the markets and farmers.
This taught him that good food and health belong
together.
