In 1975 the book "The Sugar Blues" by William Duffy was released...

"It's a prime ingredient in countless substances from cereal to soup, from cola to coffee. Consumed at the rate of one hundred pounds for every American every year, it's as addictive as nicotine -- and as poisonous. It's sugar. And "Sugar Blues", inspired by the crusade of Hollywood legend Gloria Swanson, is the classic, bestselling expose that unmasks our generation's greatest medical killer and shows how a revitalizing, sugar-free diet can not only change lives, but quite possibly save them."

I also remember reading around this time that this was being used as a political weapon to destroy America and that we would be eventually taken down from the inside out without a bullet being fired...and I have to say that really stuck in my mind...especially as we see the fulfillment of this destruction...
