Back in the 1960s, the sugar industry paid for advertisements to misleadingly promote sugar as a healthy food. Can you believe that? (I can) These false claims were so convincing that people believed them for years. The industry funded Harvard scientists to shift the blame for heart disease from sugar to fat. These scientists kept their financial backing a secret, quietly accepting what would now be around $50,000. Even now, the industry continues its deceptive practices, albeit in more covert ways. We've since uncovered the reality about sugar: it contributes to weight gain and a host of diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. #processedmeat #processedsugar #fakefood #red40 #seedoils #healthyeatinghabits #healthyeatingideas #breakfastfood #guthealth
