Sweet and Deadly - How Coca-Cola...

Murray Carpenter

If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don't find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America's health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark. 
 
 
 
Sugar-sweetened beverages are the single item in the American diet that most contributes to the epidemic of chronic disease—in particular, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease—and Coca-Cola is America's favorite sugar-sweetened beverage, by far. Carpenter details how the Coca-Cola corporation's sophisticated shadow network has masterfully spread disinformation for decades to hide the health risks of its product from consumers—risks disproportionately borne by Black, brown, and low-income communities. Working from a playbook of obfuscation and pseudoscience that has worked well for other harmful products, from tobacco and trans fats to opioids, Coca-Cola has managed to maintain an aura of goodness and happiness. This eye-opening book finally and fully reveals the truth behind that aura.

The New Age of Sexism - How AI...

Laura Bates

We like to believe we're moving closer to equality, riding the wave of technological progress into a brighter, fairer future. But beneath the glossy surface of innovation lies a chilling truth: new technologies are not just failing to solve age-old inequalities—they're deepening them. 
 
 
 
In The New Age of Sexism, acclaimed author and activist Laura Bates exposes how misogyny is being coded into the very fabric of our future. From the biases embedded in artificial intelligence to the alarming rise of sex robots and the toxic dynamics of the metaverse, Bates takes listeners on a shocking journey into a world where technology is weaponized against women. 
 
 
 
This isn't a dystopian warning about what might happen. It's a harrowing account of what's happening now and the dangers we face if we don't act. With clarity and urgency, Bates reveals how these advancements are dragging society backward, reinforcing harmful stereotypes, and jeopardizing decades of progress in the fight for gender equality. 
 
 
 
Eye-opening and empowering, The New Age of Sexism is a rallying cry for awareness and action in a world where the battle for equality has entered a dangerous new frontier.

Unrepeatable Beauty: Inner...

Lena Elisabet

Unrepeatable Beauty is a ceremonial invitation to recalibrate how we understand health, empowerment, and the female body. 
It dismantles the emotional architecture behind breast cancer— 
not through confrontation, but through clarity. 
This edition names what medicine often misses: 
• That breasts are not burden baskets 
• That emotional labor is not invisible 
• That sovereignty is not a side effect 
Through poetic diagnostics, mythic insight, and scroll-grade witnessing, Lena Elisabet invites readers to explore: 
• The biology of belief and the science of emotional containment 
• The cultural script of survival, gratitude, and reconstruction 
• The financial architecture of the breast cancer industry 
• The possibility that joy, boundaries, and inner radiance may prevent disease before it begins 
This is not a guide to surviving. 
It’s a guide to not collapsing in the first place. 
Can female empowerment and sovereignty cure breast cancer before it develops? 
This book doesn’t answer the question. 
It dignifies it.
