The sugar industry managed to pay scientists to play down the link between sugar and heart disease, according to newly released internal documents. Instead, saturated fat was blamed.
The New York Times and many other papers write about it today:
By buying itself into prominent scientific journals and by getting sellout Harvard scientists (among others) to conduct their paid "research", Big Sugar was able to shape the dietary guidelines for a long time.
But as these things are revealed, the game is changing. Sugar is now well on it's way to become public enemy number one, and deservedly so.
