10、 of public attitudes to smoking, when the doctors had been shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left for Government was: What should we do about it?Some believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar. Otherslargely but not only

11、 representatives of the food and drink industrysay the entire debate has been skewed（歪曲）by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous. More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you. There is also no doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a sign

14、than 10 percent of the energy we consume, while adding that cutting this to five percent would have “additional benefits”. The decision will now go out to public consultation.Simon Capewell, professor of the University of Liverpool, said that he suspected “dirty work” on the part of food and drinks

He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the count

19、ry, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that.Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, wher

20、e millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling toa strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in T

21、ashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of d

22、rug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼）followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale

23、a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a piece ofreportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Cen
