The Saccharine Disease - free book online
This 1974 classic, based on a lifetime of work by surgeon captain T. L. Cleave, might be familiar to those of us who read Gary Taubes' work.
The Saccharine Disease - online
It is available as a website, with each chapter a new page. Subtitled "Conditions caused by the Taking of Refined Carbohydrates, such as Sugar and White Flour" and explains his theory that refined carb consumption is the "master disease" that causes a large number of chronic conditions.

THE term, 'refined carbohydrate foods', will be shortened in this work to 'refined carbohydrates'. The mass incrimination of these, especially sugar and white flour, over many of the ills of Westernized countries today, was first advanced by the author of the present work in a long paper in 1956; and as far as he knows he was the first to advance this unitary conception, which he later promulgated under the term, 'the Saccharine Disease'. The original paper included the chart now given in Chapter II, showing the enormous rise in sugar consumption over the last century and a half, and the conditions blamed on this consumption, and on that of white flour, included diabetes, coronary disease, and obesity; peptic ulcer; constipation, haemorrhoids, and varicose veins; Escherichia coli infections such as appendicitis, cholecystitis, pyelitis, and diverticulitis; together with renal calculus, many skin conditions, and of course dental caries. Later the author published monographs on coronary disease, varicose veins, and peptic ulcer and carried the conception further forward, especially in the last named work; and later still in a joint work.

In this case "saccharine" refers to sweetness, not the artificial sweetener.
