Two Harvard scientists wrote the paper that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. That should tell you something......They each received what would be equivalent to $50K today.

Sugar consumption is tied to every single chronic disease in the world, and is at the root of the obesity epidemic in the US. Don't believe me? The Alzheimer's rate alone is expected to double by 2050. Alzheimer's is now known as Diabetes Type 3. Let that sink in. Your brain becomes insulin resistant and can no longer function.

Yep and it is absolutely astounding how much sugar is in everyday products you'd think may have some but are just LOADED.

Exactly. I expect packaged foods to have some, but not the high degree that's in them all. These manufacturers know exactly what they are doing. Sugar is so addictive that people will continue to buy their products.

Sugar, along with monocropped GMO Corn and Soy, is in damn near all processed foodstuffs. The solution is seemingly simple but beyond the aptitude of most; Eat unrefined real food, not food adjacent products.

The sugar industry also paid for a study on its primary competitor, saccharin. They fed something like 100x their body weight of saccharin to rats and found "it causes cancer." Ignoring the effects of sugar are significantly worse at the same dosage. That stigma, based on rigged research, still remains to this day. Effectively providing sugar a monopoly on the sweetener market. More options exist today. But that wasn't always the case.

90% of food sold in supermarkets are poisonous.

Oh and they hide sugar by calling it greens or plants or fruit.

Nope just sugar and sugar is sugar
