You consider yourself a savvy consumer. You read labels, follow health news, and try to make smart choices for yourself and your family. For decades, you were told that the primary enemy of your health and waistline was dietary fat. You dutifully bought low-fat yogurt, skim milk, and fat-free salad dressings, believing you were on the right path. All the while, you may have been overlooking the true villain, an ingredient that was not only sabotaging your health but was actively funding the very science that led you astray.This is the story of one of the most successful and devastating public relations campaigns in history. It’s the story of how the sugar industry, faced with mounting evidence of its product's harms, launched a clandestine, decades-long strategy to shift the blame. They paid off scientists, infiltrated the highest levels of government, and fundamentally reshaped our understanding of nutrition to protect their profits.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
