We were lied to! By scientific research! What a shock! (end sarcasm).
From article:
The American Heart Association
cites a study published in 2014 in saying that too much added sugar can
increase risk of heart disease, though the authors of that study say the
biological reasons for the link are not completely understood.
The findings published Monday are
part of an ongoing project by a former dentist, Cristin Kearns, to reveal the
sugar industry's decades-long efforts to counter science linking sugar with
negative health effects, including diabetes.
The latest work, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, is based primarily on 31 pages of
correspondence between the sugar group and one of the Harvard researchers who
authored the review.
In a statement, the Sugar
Association said it "should have exercised greater transparency in all of
its research activities," but that funding disclosures were not the norm
when the review was published. The group also questioned Kearns' "continued
attempts to reframe historical occurrences" to play into the current
public sentiment against sugar.
