Lite is Dangerous -...

Henriette Chardak

In 6,000 food products, aspartame is found everywhere in so-called diet nutrition. However, several scientific studies show that this sweetener is harmful for children, pregnant women and epileptics. Used to replace sugar and reduce the caloric intake of food, aspartame actually works in the opposite direction, it develops obesity and diabetes. In this first in-depth investigation of the diet industry, Henriette Chardak exposes a health scandal. She shows why the use of aspartame continues despite the risks it generates. How people were pushed into consuming these chemical substances—whose harmlessness had been questioned for many years. Between Chicago and Tokyo, top-secret files and complacency of the authorities, the author offers us a breathless thriller, behind-the-scenes of the world chemical industry. The story begins in Chicago and ends up in our plates and our medicines. A real cold case, where readers will find the keys to a thriller that was played out in the 1970s. They will make up their minds about the usefulness—or danger—of this fake sugar.
Two scoops:
• super sweeteners from aspartame are given to cattle to make them grow fatter faster;
• Japan, which manufactures aspartame, does not consume it.
This book also lays bare what is was not meant to be told—the conflicts of interest, colossal stakes, secret files forbidden to the public.

Why Women Prefer a Cheater

A.A. Castor

Why do women stay with men who cheat on them?
Why do so many fall for married men, agree to be the mistress, or even enjoy sex more outside of marriage than within it?
Why Women Prefer a Cheater isn't a polite conversation. It's a deep, unapologetic, and disturbingly honest exploration of female desire—rooted in biology, shaped by history, warped by psychology, and censored by culture.
This book does not offer empty empowerment slogans or fairy-tale relationship advice. Instead, it tackles the raw and uncomfortable truths:That women are biologically drawn to dominant, often unfaithful men.That affairs can offer psychological escape from the suffocation of modern monogamy.That cultural shame trains women to silently blame themselves for male betrayal.That "loyalty" often rewards women with nothing but resentment and self-erasure.
Through chapters like The Dual Mating Strategy, The Psychology of the Mistress, Sex, Marriage, and the Decline of Desire, and The Hidden Cost and Secret Freedom, A.A. Castor exposes the brutal realities behind cheating, desire, and the unspoken decisions women make to survive love, betrayal, and expectation.
Blending science, dark humor, and harsh truths, this book isn't for the faint of heart. It's for every woman who's ever been the wife, the other woman, or the one who stopped believing in fairy tales.
Forget what society taught you about love.
Forget what you were told about loyalty.
This book isn't here to comfort—it's here to wake you up.
