?Actually, it's much worse than that.
The sugar industry had research done, found out how addictive sugar was, particularly combined with salt. Even more so when when that sugar was concentrated into empty calories without fiber (higher glycemic load). That research was buried while the sugar industry funded false research that showed fat is bad and significantly downplayed the negative effects of sugar.
Then they took the research that showed just how addictive sugar was to clients in the food industry and the use of sugar and high fructose corn syrup literally exploded overnight.
Then they got together with a bunch of lobbyists in Washington to make sure the only research that hit the desk of politicians in Washington was the funded fake research and a stack of cash.
They were so nice they even helped create and finance health and nutrition guidelines for the FDA and helped create a national curriculum for public schools using the research they paid for.
I have to admit, it's freaking brilliant. It's also helped lead to the early death of tens or hundreds of millions while costing taxpayers Trillions.
