imagine if generations ago if they HAD NOT pushed the fake "Lipid Hypothesis" and the horribly flawed food pyramid. Imagine if the sugar lobby hadn't fooled and/or paid off everyone so that people cut salt, fat, cholesterol and then filled everything with sugar and sugar equivalents.
Imagine how many heart attacks and strokes could have been avoided if people had instead avoided excess sugar?
I would be willing to bet just about anything and everything that excess sugar in itself is not nearly the primary problem, but rather condensed and unsatisfying sugar (high fructose corn syrup), chemicals and over consumption of soybean and seed oils are the bigger factors.
You can make excess sugars work for you, you can basically never make concentrated high fructose corn syrups work for you -- they aren't satisfying, they make you hungrier and they digest too quickly which spikes your insulin all at once.
of course, but if you start looking at stats of when Diabetes and heart attacks started to spike, were HFCS and seed oils that prominent?
I either don't know or don't remember, it's possible because when there was a spike in heart disease and the congressional hearings for that is when they came up with the Lipid Hypothesis, I don't think things like margarine and so on were as prominent.
