SUGAR CONSUMPTION

  • The amount of sugar Americans ate prior to the 1970s was significant but nowhere near like Americans eat now.
  • Sugar lobbyists funded studies to show fat was bad and sugar was good.
  • Now, people are so overweight compared to prior to that study.
  • Sugar was a treat, not a part of everyday life.
  • And, the quality of desserts and the like has decreased.
    • They’re made with cheaper materials, like seed oils which are trans-fats.
