"The sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to play down the link between sugar and heart disease and promote saturated fat as the culprit instead, newly released historical documents show.
The internal sugar industry documents, recently discovered by a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, and published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggest that five decades of research into the role of nutrition and heart disease, including many of today’s dietary recommendations, may have been largely shaped by the sugar industry."

Sugar and tobacco seemed to have the same cheerleaders ...
The origination of the FAT IS BAD movement came from Ancel Keys. If you watch this short video you will see how it played out. (none of these videos I link to are mine and I do no make any money from promoting them, I am simply making best use of my time and the awesome work of others on youtube by getting the information to you from other sources :) )
It is because of the sugar industry's desire to paint their product as safe and to get more people buying sugar and the effect of Ancel Keys misguided conclusions that we have a world of obesity, type 2 diabetics and metabolic syndrome affected people in the world...
And that's not just my opinion - stay tuned ... I will get to exactly why many are obese, type 2 diabetics etc...
